  • Check the browser console for any error messages in that case (Ctrl+Shift+J in Chrome).

  • I'm just updating the docs after release. The main class is IWebGLText. I should have updated the SDK download with a sample plugin shortly as well.

  • No, obviously it's not normal for that to happen. Whenever C3 crashes it sends a report to our server (unless you use ad/tracking blockers) where it is logged, and we periodically review crash reports and try to fix them. We prioritise the most common crashes first. This means in many cases we can fix crashes without anyone needing to report a bug. However this process is not guaranteed so you might want to try to find the exact circumstances that causes the issue and then file a bug for us to investigate. You could also share some of the crash messages you've already encountered so we can check them.

  • Events run synchronously. You cannot use promises in expressions since Construct checks the return value immediately after the function returns. Your expression kicks off a promise which runs asynchronously but the resolve value is never used by anything.

    You've already found the solution - use the same model as AJAX where actions kick off asynchronous work and then fires triggers upon completion.

  • Normally you can just click the "Copy" button on the dialog and it will work. However you can work around it by enabling "Use in-app clipboard" in Settings. This doesn't actually copy data to the clipboard, so it only works copy-pasting things within the same C3 window, but it avoids the prompts.

  • Are you using the latest version of Construct 2? It's basically impossible to help unless you provide all the information required by a bug report.

  • It's built in to Construct 2.

  • Please see the bug report guidelines. It is far, far easier to deal with bug reports if you start with a new empty project and demonstrate the issue there.

  • They're deprecated expressions, so they don't appear in the list, but projects created with them can keep using them.

    The names are weird, IIRC they were only added for debugging purposes! The name refers to the algorithm used for moving along a path. It's implemented as a sort of "chase the rabbit" algorithm, i.e. the object chases a point a short distance ahead on the path.

    TBH since they're not listed the name you choose probably doesn't matter much.

    Just prioritize this please Ashley . I've been tweaking OS settings and registry for days now.

    I need example projects and steps to reproduce. I don't have anything other than this event variables edge case to work with or prioritize right now.

    How do you explain W10 taking 1 second to load, while W7 is instant? Let's tackle that first to see if it helps.

    I've no idea. Maybe Win10 added a new feature to dropdowns which has greater performance overhead or something.

    1 second with 1000 variables is not bad enough to seem to need fixing. I don't see it taking any amount of time as bad as anyone else reports, especially not 10sec+, so basically this is "can't reproduce".

    There may well be other cases, but what I am trying to tell you is I don't have any way to reproduce those either. I need steps to reproduce and example projects, for each potential slow case. I don't have any right now. All I've got is one edge case with variables that doesn't look particularly bad.
