    +1 for this issue. Getting small lag spikes when using the editor.

    For me, it's mainly noticeable when autofill does it's thing - if I type out an object quickly and hit tab, sometimes it doesn't register all the letters and will pick a different object that starts with the same first letter. For example, I want to compare a condition with a 'bugWorm' object, so I quickly type 'bugW' followed by tab into the field, but it will pick 'bugFly' instead.

    Not the end of the world as I just have to slow down a second (literally just a second) to make sure it's filtered down before hitting tab.

    Though, I did have one lag spike yesterday and the editor never recovered. Had to revert to an autosave.

    Thinking about this though, I think it might be happening more the longer my project is open. It's not unusual for me to have the project open for +12 hours a day. I'll have to pay attention to when this happens in relation to how long I've had the editor open for.

  • Okay, it happened again, the exact same as last time. I added a variable to an instance that's sitting on a global layer. The editor then freezes for a second before jumping to that screen ^.

    Getting these crashes in project and c3p saves, with Edge and Chrome.

  • Just happened again. I'm pretty sure it was going to autosave and then just dumped me to this screen:

    I realized I'm using the app in Edge, so going to jump over to Chrome and see if that makes any difference.

  • Is the editor itself crashing for you, or just the preview? Since 308 I've had a lot of editor crashes, seemingly at random.

  • Hey Joe,

    One thing I've found with preview builds is they don't work a lot of time for me if they're in fullscreen mode. For whatever reason, I find that the previews run more consistently when windowed.

    Not sure if that's what you're dealing with, but thought I'd throw it out there.

  • Hi,

    Since the latest stable build, I'm experiencing an unusual amount of crashes on my project. While a couple have given an error report and allowed a save before restart, the last two have, more concerningly, frozen the editor. Both times this occurred was just as the project entered autosave.

    As it's not really a reproducible issue that I can submit, I thought I'd check on here to see if anyone else is experiencing increase in crashes since the latest stable as well, or if it's just me.

    Cheers

  • Another option would be to have an entire event sheet dedicated to your debug events and include it in your main event sheet - then remove it before export. I like doing it this way as all debugging systems are located in one place.

    *Edit* Although re-reading your OP, I see that you're specifically concerned about forgetting to turn it off. If that's the case, stick to Wacky's suggestion.

  • Working today without autosave enabled, saving was a lot quicker for most of the day.

    I did notice the occasional slow save once in a while, though nothing like what I was experiencing before. We're talking a 30 second save every couple of hours.

  • Looks like Windows Defender is to blame! github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/5825

  • NGX

    Whats up with this? Can someone fill me up with the Scirra objectives with the tool?

    I think they're referring to this: construct.net/en/blogs/construct-official-blog-1/announcing-new-product-beta-1589

  • Auto-save feature saves the project as a single c3p file. Maybe Construct needs to rebuild the file structure or something to save as a folder after that. You can test this by manually saving as c3p and then as a folder.

    Yep, looks like you're correct. I'm just trying this out now with the build I uploaded to the issues page and it's triggering a slow project save after the single c3p file save.
