  • This seems to raise more questions than it answers...

    Just a quick note before we go into more detail, Microsoft decided to drop the legacy option to disable application specific high-dpi scaling and pretty much force enable it now

    Which setting, exactly?

    [quote:31cwhx3u]As you might already know, Windows 10 more recently decided to only allow users to override the dpi setting and not disable it completely.

    I didn't know that - which setting has changed and how? I still see DPI options in the Compatibility tab of an executable in the latest patched Windows 10.

    [quote:31cwhx3u]However I found out that it's possible to set it to "Application Mode", which basically means that C2 has full control over the dpi mode.

    C2 should already have full control over the DPI mode. It registers as a "system DPI aware" process, which means it handles the global system DPI setting. This does not cover the more recent support for multi-monitors with differing DPIs, but that seems a fairly niche case.

    [quote:31cwhx3u]I assume that C2 has high-dpi support enabled by default, which could be the reason for why users started experiencing performance issues more recently and not before that mentioned update that started forcing high-dpi mode.

    C2 has had basic support for high-DPI for as far back as I can remember. There's nothing we've changed on that front for a long time, and C2 should not have been using a compatibility mode, because it is natively system-DPI aware.

    [quote:31cwhx3u]Simple, with an added option to disable high-dpi as a whole for C2 (despite it's downsides of overall quality)

    This would make the whole UI look blurry. I'm sure the next question would be "how do I make sure the UI looks sharp?" We already worked around the event dialog performance issue by implementing a special setting, and then the next question was "how do I fix the performance issue without using the special setting?", so it seems these kinds of workarounds are not satisfying to users.

    [quote:31cwhx3u]users that experience performance issues could test it out and provide feedback which could lead to the conclusion that high-dpi scaling is indeed at fault for the most recent performance issues with C2 on Win10.

    What evidence is there that this does cause the performance issue? What measurements have been made with which combinations of settings and how do they compare? I don't see any evidence at all for this right now.

  • I'll repeat what I said in email to dwork:

    • we had a professional translator review it and they described it as good
    • our stats show the vast majority of users in Russia use the Russian language setting
    • I've not heard any complaints before this since we enabled it by default in December, so it's been widely used for a couple of months and this is the first time anyone has raised any issue

    The translation took several weeks - if you really thought it was going badly you could have contributed at the time. Still, if you think there could be improvements, you can still sign up as contributors. However you must discuss this with the community and agree on what kind of changes you want to make before making them, since otherwise it is likely you'll end up in disputes, or making the translation inconsistent. Everyone has their own opinion on how translations should be done - but there is only one set of translations, so everyone must agree on how to do it.

  • dworkgames - please be constructive. Lots of people have different opinions about translations and there's no need to be insulting. If you did the whole translation, I'm sure there'd be others who'd object to your own terms, and so on.

  • We're still mainly beta testing it to work out the bugs. Even recently we've fixed some project-corrupting bugs since the folder save code is different. Once we're sure it works reliably we'll look in to releasing to other platforms.

  • The SDK works on all platforms. Start with the C2 SDK documentation.

  • Which search boxes? There are a lot through the whole editor.

    I just tried inserting a new object and the search box was already focused.

  • Importing a wav to C3 will automatically encode it to WebM Opus, which is our recommended format.

    If you still need to use MP3s, it should be supported in the next version of NW.js which should be out this week. I'd still recommend using WebM Opus wherever possible - it's modern, open, excellent quality and very high compression. MP3 is old and poor quality by comparison.

  • Congratulations on finishing the Portuguese translation! As we do with all translations, we will be performing a review prior to enabling it by default. This can take a couple of weeks. Once the review is completed and assuming there were no major issues we'll issue the rewards and enable it in the editor.
