    There's nothing about this that is specific to browsers. Take a look at this tool that broke with the High Sierra update - and it's all native code. Would you accuse them of screwing up for "relying on Apple" too? Are you absolving Apple of any mistakes they could ever make and determined to pin everything that could ever go wrong in the industry solely on us?

  • Most games don't save on a timer because how do you know you haven't saved a moment before the player dies, therefore making their save useless? A more common approach is to use checkpoints.

    The main problem with Safari right now is Apple just released Safari 11.1 which has a severe bug that breaks Construct 3. We've filed a report with Apple who are working on it: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184502

    We're doing our best to patch Construct 3 to avoid the issue in Safari. The latest r95 includes a workaround, but it may take some time to get right, since an essential feature is simply non-functional in Safari 11.1. I must point out that it is Safari that is broken, not Construct 3. Despite that we are working hard to get Construct 3 back to normal in Safari. It's quite frustrating for us since Apple are a multi-billion dollar corporation with thousands of engineers, and their software is broken; we have three developers (one of whom is currently off sick), and Apple's mistake here has left us in a spot of bother. I apologise for the inconvenience, but we are actively trying to sort things out.

    For the time being I'd recommend using Chrome on a desktop system where everything should be working smoothly.

  • Just out of curiousity, what's the main reason frame animations has that big of a performance hit?

    In that test, each sprite takes on the order of a few hundred CPU cycles. So even tiny amounts of extra work will look like a big performance hit.

    The work to tick animations ought to stop when the animation stops, but if you leave the animation playing it will have to keep ticking the animation, which will show up as a performance impact.

  • It sounds like this issue: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/1396

    It's a Chrome bug that's already fixed, just need to wait for the fix to reach the stable channel.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • We've closed around 95% of all issues filed for Construct 3 - well over 1000 reports. We have thousands of happy users who use it daily. Can you point to any specific issues that are giving you trouble?

  • In short, it's been 18 days without any updates...no more support from Scirra?

    Many software tools out there only have updates every few months. I think we've really spoiled you with regular updates if you think 18 days is a long time!

  • 1) Every 0.1 seconds, save it.

    There is no reason to do that and it will be very inefficient and have a significant performance impact. The feature is designed for one-off saves. If you provide a project that uses the feature in a reasonable fashion, I can take a look, but otherwise it sounds like it's not working because you're mis-using the feature.

  • The project uses a third-party addon. Please see the bug report guidelines, closing. Also both those URLs you provided return 404 not found, which is obviously a problem with the server, not Construct.

  • Please file such issues to the Bugs forum following all the guidelines.

  • It's just a developer utility for Phonegap, even if it's permanently removed I don't think it would affect anything else in Phonegap or Cordova.

  • Please file any other issues that have not already been reported to the bug tracker following all the guidelines, otherwise they won't be investigated.
