  • The performance of modern devices is excellent. If you shared a project file I could take a look in case there is anything that could be optimised. However I noticed you mentioned BlueStacks, which appears to be an emulator. Emulators often have poor performance as they often have limitations like using software rendering instead of GPU acceleration. So you should test on a real device to know how performance will really work.

  • It means the browser you are using does not support playing the format of that sound.

  • The error looks like it's caused by a third-party addon.

    You can clear storage in NW.js either by using the browser developer tools (F12) or by deleting the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\construct3.

  • I don't think there's any reason to call an entire event sheet. Instead use runtime.callFunction() to call a function block in an event sheet.

  • I'd also point out I suspect GameMaker has something like at least 5x more staff working on it, and the backing of a billion-dollar company. I'm sure we could do an awful lot more if we had the same level of resources - but even though we're a small operation by comparison, I think is a big achievement on our part that people even feel it is fair to compare the two, and that there are even some big advantages to Construct that we can highlight.

  • I've wondered before why this could be the case given that Construct has been around for over a decade

    I'd point out that a decade ago, it was literally just me coding on a laptop in my bedroom. We've come a long, long way, and I'm optimistic that as we keep growing, we'll keep going even further.

  • It sounds like it might be a bug, but it's difficult to help without more information. Please file an issue following all the guidelines so we can help.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Unfortunately I don't think the steamdb.info numbers for Construct are meaningful - their detection may well be failing to identify most Construct games. In this issue I pointed out how they can reliably detect Construct games, but it seems for technical reasons they can't implement that.

  • I tried this and it does reproduce for me too actually - it must be some Cordova bug as the documentation says the default content src is already "index.html", so adding it only re-applies the default. I guess the default got changed accidentally.

    I've added the content tag for the next release to fix Cordova project exports. I've also patched the build server to add that tag when using cordova-android@10+, which means it should be fixed already in r261, since builds will now add the necessary tag on the server side.

  • This should be fixed in r261, by the way.

  • I tested the changes in r261 on several devices and it worked fine for me. I'm afraid there's not much we can do without a bug report, as we need that information to be able to help.

    10 years is a very long time to support software. Even Microsoft only fully support Windows for about 10 years. We're a small software company, and supporting software forever is just too expensive and difficult. Like every software company, we have to draw the line at some point and say it's no longer supported; a decade seems like a great run for a tool which only ever had a single programmer working on it.
