Strangely enough, most of the info is contained on forums and not necessarily on official articles.

Hmm... and everything you read on the Internet must be true, right?

Even if there are limits, I'm sure Google have done whatever is necessary to mitigate them in Chrome. As far as I'm aware there are no memory limits affecting Chrome.

Well, I have a sand box game that had 10 large background music files. The game would load and start but lag terribly and sprites would stop moving for a few seconds when ever I started the game even with no music playing. I took out those music files and sprites stopped lagging.

There's no technical reason for that, because the engine doesn't touch music files unless you tell it to preload/play them. I'd be interested to see an example of that if you can make one. I would assume the problem was really caused by something else though.

Try not to get confused between download size and runtime performance. The two do not directly affect each other. For example a large music track will increase the download size, but should have no impact at runtime at all.

The Raspberry Pi OpenGL driver is a work-in-progress and hopefully will be working better in future. Really the problem is the OpenGL driver is unreliable, and that's not C2's fault.

I've never heard about such limitations being in place on Android. Such arbitrary limits would not improve anything and would seriously affect performance, so I don't see any technical reason that would ever be put in place. Where did you find out about this?

Sorry, the NW.js install doesn't support portable installation right now. You could try just putting the installer on the USB drive and re-installing it on every device.

Moving to "How do I", this is not a bug report so should not be in the Bugs forum.

Both Crosswalk and the Android webview use the same browser engine - Chromium - so there's no reason they would be any different. The Android webview updates from the store on Android 5.0+ so it is more likely to be up-to-date.

The actual filename is the name of your project. In your screenshot it's probably the file named nw.

I've heard different information - it is currently possible to publish to Xbox One via the UWP export, but it's not particularly easy. We're working to try and make it easier.

No - OpenGL rendering is only a small fraction of the amount of code that would need to be ported. I'd also add there would be no performance difference in rendering in a native engine, because WebGL already makes the same calls a native app would. See this blog for more information.
