I find it to be a bug since it should work on Editor Preview. protected onLoad(): void { game.frameRate = 30 console.log("ON LOAD CALLED!!") } This code doesn’t work on Editor preview but somehow works on Browser preview. Will there be a fix for this? console.log appears but the game framerate remains at 60.

Soon, Splitting Point realized that they could find more than just bugs. Quite simply, there was no time for quality control.

The second one is bugging out really bad. As we are tightroping a deadline, I encouraged him to do this for now assuming there was just some kind of bug in the editor… As I said before, his first animation works fine, but when we try to play test the 2nd animation we run into issues.

After this launch, I received a review saying that there is an audio bug on the Android platform, but I don’t know how to fix this. The bug is that when I play the game while listening to external music, the external music volume is lowered after game is on foreground. I am very grateful. Is there any way to solve this?

I don’t have a middle mouse button on MacBook) Is this a bug? I just opened up a project on my MacBook today (I usually work on my PC) this is the first time I’ve tried to use one of these shaders in the editor on my MacBook I believe… And I’m getting the same issue. Or is it a feature that I can turn on/off somewhere?

But before you dive into playing this highly anticipated game, be warned there are some bugs and glitches that might creep up on you during gameplay. But until then, you should approach the early access with caution and patience as you explore all the world has yet to offer while keeping an eye out for any bugs or glitches along the way!

However, even the best games can be marred by glitches, bugs, and other technical issues that can frustrate and even ruin the gaming experience. These issues, which range from frozen screens to bugs that crash games, can be a real headache for gamers. This can help the game to restart and fix the bug.

@zhangxm I know this type of bug is caused by some kind of promise code error without a catch() function. This bug is from logcat on android btw. But which file / which line causes it ? How can i find it in my code. I have a lot of promise function so there is hard to check.

How do they find that many bugs? Imagine 50 testers each find only five bugs a day from a full eight hours of testing. That's logging a combined 250 bugs daily. In a week, you've got 1,250 bugs. After a month, that's 5,000 bugs. A year would be 60,000 bugs. I'm currently working on bug number 474,991.

Hi, I would like to inform you that there is a bug (Memory leakage and maybe other stuff) How to recreate: create a prefab with some resource and add a widget component to it. (in in top node of the prefab) in a schedule loop, add this “instantiated” prefab as a node to another managed node.

I think that it is true that initial launches are indeed more bug ridden today than they were before day 1 patches were possible, but the reason for this is much less nefarious than most are imagining. Further, all of those duplicated disks out in the wild would forever hold the "final" version of the game, bugs and all.

Cocos Creator 3.8.2 I made a particle and tried to apply Random size, speed and lifetime but it doesn’t work. It looks like every particle appears at same time, moving same speed, and disappearing at same time. Check the movie attached. You can see I set Min/Max value for “Start Lifetime”, “Start Size”, and “Start Speed”.

I’m using Cocos Creator 2.4.6, somehow I try to change the node color via script is not working. I remember it used to work. For debugging, I set node color default to (170,170,170) then using script it will increase to 255 in “duration”. 我在使用Cocos Creator 版本 2.4.6 2D, 我想要透过typescript更改node的颜色但是不能,我记得好像以前是没问题的。

I'm looking for a good bug database for games and it's been a struggle. Like a lot of commercial bug databases, they added lots of trendy project management features that distracted from it just being a good bug database. I'm sure some people like this stuff, but I just want a simple modern bug database.

If we have to make a whole new build for cert submission anyway, we might as well fix some of the bugs/balance issues that have been bothering us while we're in there. The main reason it was such a rarity is because the certification process was (and still is) damn expensive.
