Crosswalk is only needed for Android 4.x compatibility. It uses the same Chromium browser engine that Chrome uses, so in theory it should work identically. I'm not sure why they would end up using different renderers - perhaps there is a difference in the Chromium version, or the GPU blacklists work differently.

WebGL is usually 2-10x faster than canvas2d, so I don't know why you would want to turn it off...

Crosswalk bundles the entire Chromium browser engine for Android 4.x compatibility, which adds about 17mb. If you target Android 5.0+ only, you can do without it, which reduces the size of the APK.

I've never heard of this problem before. All I can suggest is open regedit and delete the entire key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Scirra\Construct2. That will reset all settings. If that doesn't help, I'm not sure what it could be...

I think it's a bug in iOS 9.2. Some other threads discussing it:

http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/19156-ios-92-sound-broken/

https://www.scirra.com/forum/ios-sound-problems-since-ios-9-2_t165414

The html5gamedevs thread has a possible workaround. I'll investigate that for the next beta.

Closing as can't reproduce and no .capx provided, please review the bug report guidelines.

Can't reproduce in r219. Does it still occur for you there?

The keyboard shortcuts section in the manual is pretty comprehensive.

Can these not be provided to the plugin at runtime? There is an existing method set up to do this kind of thing, which is the SDK-defined plugin properties where users can paste in things like an app ID, as long as you can pass them at runtime. This is what the official Facebook plugin does. At the moment there's no mechanism to do what you suggest.

Debuggers often have a high performance overhead, with any technology, so this is pretty much to be expected. Closing as won't fix. You should also attach a .capx with every bug report as per the requirements.

TheRealDannyyy - does it work after export? In the past we've had a couple of weird preview-only quirks due to the preview server...

Low resolution fullscreen mode basically does the same thing as switching resolution. The only difference is the last stretch to the display size is done by the GPU (which is typically very efficient at that) instead of the chip in the display hardware. It also means you can control the sampling between point and linear, which means you can keep pixel games looking crisp where monitors typically only use linear sampling for the last stretch. So I really don't think it's a big deal if you can't change the hardware resolution. Even if you still really wanted to, you could probably find a way to write a plugin to do that in NW.js. (I don't think I've ever seen a mobile device change resolution!)
