  • Construct won't automatically update to beta releases by default. It only will if you enable the beta notifications in settings, or if you directly load the latest beta via the website.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • The architecture of the event system does not allow for objects not referenced in conditions or actions to be picked, so it's not currently possible to automatically pick other object types in the hierarchy that are a different type to the root.

    Using conditions like "pick children" or "pick last created" should be used instead. If that doesn't work please file an issue.

  • See the guide on memory usage in the manual to understand how memory management works.

  • Try turning off "Enable experimental features" in settings. Sometimes experiments can cause crashes and problems.

  • Take a look at the Voice Recorder example.

  • Check the manual entry on Functions which covers this.

  • If yes, then I would appreciate a more specific response, especially from you, from the list of possibilities above (and profiler/inspector charts) on which of these could be more related to heating up, than the other.

    My point was: it's all of those things. All CPU and GPU work gives off heat. So optimising everything - all aspects of your game - will help.

  • This is deliberately not supported to avoid the many compatibility nightmares that arise from doing just that. You should develop any unique features you need in your own separate addon using just your own code.

  • Many mobile devices warm up when they're working hard. It's normal and affects any kind of software. For example playing Pokemon Go made my Android phone get pretty warm (and that of course was not made in Construct). A lot of CPU/GPU activity dissipates heat; it's a pretty fundamental aspect of computer hardware.

    Generally optimising the entire game, both in CPU and GPU terms, will help, but so long as the device is having to work moderately hard over long periods of time, you can expect the device to get warm. That applies to all software using any technologies on pretty much any hardware (even desktops warm up too, but they tend to have fans to help, and you tend not to be holding it in your hand!)

  • I genuinely don't understand the problem here.

    You just need to update your team to the latest version all at the same time. Problem solved.

    In all your posts, you haven't given any reasons why that wouldn't work. So I'm just completely mystified as to why you are still asking about this.

    As I said: people who stay on old versions routinely run in to all sorts of bugs, compatibility issues, performance pitfalls and other problems that we've already fixed. This needlessly increases our support burden as people end up filing issues and contacting support about problems which were already solved. This wastes everyone's time, and is particularly painful for us as a small team with already very limited resources. We want to avoid that, so we auto-update everyone, and I think we have an extremely good track record with backwards compatibility.
