Providing the Audio plugin's "Play in background" setting is disabled (the default), then Construct also suspends all audio playback when going in to the background. So that should not be a problem either.

You just need one input event to enable all audio playback. It doesn't have to be every layout, just once on startup.

Desktop browsers are starting to implement the restriction too. NW.js should not be affected though.

Canvas+ has not been supported for over 3 years. Use a webview-based platform instead.

In mobile apps sound should be able to autoplay automatically.

In browsers sound cannot autoplay until the first input event, as a deliberate measure to prevent web pages annoying you.

This is exactly why things like "disable WebGL 2" are pretty poor hacks. If there is a GPU driver issue, it could well affect WebGL 1 too. Disabling WebGL 2 is merely papering over the cracks and other issues could crop up elsewhere because the real problem hasn't been addressed. I would encourage anyone affected to make minimal reproduction test cases and file issues with Google at crbug.com.

It hasn't aged well - it's ended up full of cruft nobody uses any more, like "Windows Phone 8 App", "Crosswalk" etc. I think we should come up with a better alternative that won't meet the same fate...

It looks like it might have shipped accidentally. It wasn't a listed release, the tracking issue isn't marked "fixed" yet, and the latest spec differs from what was shipped. I've asked for clarification on the tracking issue. Obviously we'd like to implement this but if it's likely to change in feature to what the spec says, it would be better to wait, otherwise we'll be writing code that is going to be broken in the near future.

I just realised we only made the change for the C3 runtime. I don't generally like doing this but I did the same for the C2 runtime as a last-minute change for today's stable release (r111). So can you give it a go with that release and see if that helps?

If it still displays a blank screen it's possible it's actually a different issue not to do with WebGL 2.

I had no idea they shipped it yet. It's not on the release schedule. I was planning on adding official support once it shipped. Are you sure it works with all flags reset to default?

This is caused by buggy third-party addons. Please report the problem to the addon developer.
