  • Have you got the latest graphics card driver? Also, do you have that ATI Catalyst Control Panel thing installed? Construct 2 is powered by OpenGL, and sometimes the control panel forces texture compression or other options to be "helpful", but it breaks the image editor. Maybe try finding texture settings and disabling them if anything like that looks like it's enabled.

  • It may be possible to back-port the OpenGL runtime (when we make it) to XP SP1 (or even no service pack at all!), but it gets increasingly difficult the further back you go. For example, C2 uses a local HTTP server to preview HTML5 games on. The HTTP server is provided by XP SP2 and later. Therefore, to support SP1 and earlier, we'd have to find an alternative HTTP server API or write one ourselves, which would cost time/money, and hold back other features we really need to do. Then, there might be 3 or 4 other features we need to repeat that process for, because they're only supported by SP2 and up. So it could be a lot of work, all for people who haven't installed a free update that was released about 7 years ago.

    So writing a runtime from scratch we might be able to do it, but from the developer's perspective, it makes things more complicated and time-consuming, which is especially expensive for small businesses that don't have whole teams of programmers to throw at problems.

  • Things have been moving quickly lately and most of what I said in that post doesn't apply any more - we're offering pounds, sterling and euros as currencies.

    'Demo' usually means 'time limited to 30 days' or some other time limit. I don't want to give the impression that the free edition is going to expire. It lasts forever, so I think calling it the free edition is fair. Nobody expects the free edition to have all the features when there's a license available beside it.

    As for the 100 event limit, well, I'm not sure what you want us to do instead? Should we give away the full version for free? Then how do we keep running? :-\</p>

  • Um.. just curious if Zako0 is part of the 'we' working on this?

    He said he was working on a physics behavior. However, he's a third party dev and we're not paying him, so he's not under any obligation to do it - if he doesn't, we'll make one ourselves.

  • Use the 'additive' effect on the sprites with a black background and they should blend in to the background with a nice effect.

  • I've been working hard to try and fix it: r51 introduced a change to try and fix it which didn't work, and I just released r51.2 with another change to try and fix it. Have you tried r51.2?

    It's a very difficult one for me to fix because I have a nVidia card and everything works fine for me here, so I'm having to trawl through documentation, guess if there are any driver bugs, etc.

  • It's best to contact the Wine developers if C2 doesn't work via Wine - we don't have any control over it.
