  • Valve addresses this:

    partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/overlay

    Q. My game runs in a browser. Can the Overlay work in that?

    A. The Steam Overlay requires a game consistently render frames, not pausing rendering or rendering only part of the screen based on dirty rects. Unfortunately, web browsers do not support this model. A workaround for web based games is to host an embedded Chromium inside a native application, with a D3D window and input forwarding to the embedded Chromium. That can be setup to render in offscreen mode, which then renders the resulting chromium texture each frame in the native app. Partners often use CEF to do this, though this is not an easy task.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • At the moment it seems to be that way. It doesn't work with the steam overlay.

    There is also the Pipelab addon though. Some people use Pipelab successfully with Steam. I think "Noobs Are Coming" might be using it.

  • Webview2 doesn't work well with Steam. I'd recommend not using it.

    The developers have arbitarily decided that we're not allowed to access NWJS in new versions.

  • Could some of the things that are better in scripting be used as inspiration to improve Event coding at all?

    As someone that uses Construct because of the Event Sheets and because I don't like scripting, I'd rather see the event system improved to the best it can be.

  • jomego Well said. It feels so arbitary as well. The features are working fine, but now we're just not allowed to use them anymore in new versions. It's like "daddy knows what's best for you".

  • Will this LTS also recieve all bug fixes that occur?

    Like the fixes to the animation editor that appened in r450.

  • Maybe if the next stable is rebranded as Construct 4, then it would make sense.

    Since normally these kinds of huge changes and incompatibles are what happen when we go from Construct 1 to 2, or Construct 2 to 3.

    Nobody in the community is super happy with this but it is what it is.

    Do you think it's because we didn't provide enough feedback?

  • My question was more about having an option within Construct's export window. Like how it worked before r450.

    Anything else feels like a regression.

    I think NWJS should still be available as an option in the next Stable, even if it's in the depracated category. No point removing it yet.

    At least until such a time that parity is achieved with other export options.

  • Ashley can you add an option in the export window for WV2: to bundle the browser with it, so the game is self contained? Like normal native games do. NWJS was able to do that. Thanks

  • John and Mary were invited to join an exclusive club that was allowed to play in the event.

    Ben and Tim were excluded from playing in the event.

    This shows how exclusive has an opposite meaning for me.

    But I can understand the choice to do it that way.
