    Hi Scirra team,

    I’ve encountered a serious issue with the Windows β†’ WebView2 export in Construct 3 that seems related to an outdated export being cached or reused on your build server. Here are the detailed steps and findings:

    πŸ”Ž Context:

    I’m working on a project that is currently at version 0.1 RC3

    I am exporting this project as a Windows WebView2 app

    The export consistently outputs the previous version (RC2), even though RC3 has clear, visible changes

    I verified multiple times that I am working in the correct .c3p project file and have the correct version set under Project Properties β†’ Version

    I even added a large, visible β€œRC3 Test” text label to the layout to confirm changes visually

    βœ… What I’ve already tried:

    Confirmed I am editing and exporting the correct .c3p file

    Deleted the previous RC2 folder and ZIP entirely from disk

    Exported multiple times as WebView2 – always got RC2

    Verified in-game using a text label + runtime.projectVersion β†’ it shows RC2

    Changed version name to RC3b, RC3c etc. – no effect

    Exported via NW.js β†’ result is correct and shows the updated RC3 version and visible layout changes

    Tried the same from a private/incognito browser window (Chrome) β†’ still got RC2 from WebView2 export

    Attempted exporting after clearing browser cache, re-logging into Construct 3 – same result

    No local Construct Desktop install or PWA, so everything is happening through the browser version

    I also tried exporting from a project saved as folder instead of .c3p β†’ still same result

    πŸ“Œ Findings:

    NW.js export behaves as expected and reflects all recent changes

    WebView2 export always outputs an outdated version (RC2), regardless of what’s currently in the editor

    This suggests that the build server for WebView2 may be using a stale cache or outdated intermediate files

    This started happening just today, so just one day after the maintenance apprently

    Thank you.

  • Hi Ashley,

    I am trying to export my project version "0.1 RC3" via Windows Webview2.

    But it will always export "0.1 RC2" again, over and over. The export manager says: It's "RC3", but when I run it, it is "RC2".

    This does not seem to happen for NW.js (I tried that briefly), but I cannot find a workaround for Webview 2.
