    Oh man, so I only just learned from looking at the "what's new in Chrome 86" release notes that they quietly completely changed the file system APIs starting in Chrome 86. This means r218 will not detect that the feature is available and so won't show the local file/folder save options.

    This was a really nasty way to find out they've made breaking changes and really throws a spanner in the works! In the past they've at least given a few releases notice with deprecation warnings to give us time to upgrade... looks like they've just skipped that this time.

    We're going to have to make a range of changes to Construct to update our code for all the changes they made to the API. I also would be reluctant to ship significant changes directly to the stable channel, since they won't have been thoroughly tested. I think the best thing to do here is to fix it for the next beta release and see how that goes before deciding if we backport anything to the stable release.

    So in short I'm afraid this will further delay the feature being reactivated again.

  • We're planning to look in to developing an editor feature for this.

  • If you can reliably reproduce a problem, please file an issue following all the guidelines.

  • I tried both the project file via Remote Preview and the itch.io link on an iPad Pro running iOS 14. In both cases the audio playback worked just fine.

  • There's very little to go on here. If you press F12 is there a more detailed message in the browser console?

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • You should update NW.js, as it is advising you to do. See this thread.

  • All exported Construct 3 projects automatically work offline. See the tutorial Offline games in Construct 3.

  • See Multiplayer tutorial 1: concepts. It covers connectivity.

  • If the problem is really just with your sound files, import them to a fresh new project to demonstrate the problem and share that. It's far easier to help with minimal projects anyway.

    If the problem does not reproduce in a new project, it suggests something wrong with your project (e.g. events that keep trying to manipulate audio and breaking it).

    Closing, please only post in English on this forum.

  • It's not currently supported. Drag-and-drop needs to work fundamentally differently with touch input to disambiguate it from pan scrolling. Using one finger to drag and two fingers to scroll doesn't necessarily work well either, since often using two fingers to scroll means putting down and moving one finger first before the second touches the screen, meaning you accidentally start a drag before you start a scroll - and this could happen pretty much every time you try to scroll, which would be irritating.

    Designing these kinds of subtle touch interactions is lots of difficult work and has to be reinvented separately to the mouse input. As a small team with limited resources we've not put in the time yet to implement all of that. This is one of the reasons we advertise the mobile version as being suitable for reviewing and tweaking projects, rather than being a main development environment.

  • Construct already sets the target API level to 29. You don't need to worry about the target SDK, Construct manages that for you.

    The target API level is different to the minimum API level, which is what sets the lowest supported version of Android. You choose that yourself when exporting. Currently Android 5.1 is the lowest supported version.
