Windows Creator Release Candidate build 0.13.4 is available
It is highly recommended that you uninstall any versions earlier than 0.13.1 of the Windows Creator Nightly before installing the new one.
Features
- Fixed .wav->.ogg sound file auto-conversion.
- Fixed numeric and string comparisons.
- Fixed actor instances overriding their prototypes incorrectly.
- Fixed usernames and passwords not working with non-alphanumeric characters.
- Fixed projects in paths with non-alphanumeric characters not loading correctly.
- Auto-updating to newer versions of Windows Creator should work.
Known Issues (in addition to previously listed issues in earlier 0.13 builds)
The fixes for numeric and string comparisons are unfortunately not backwards compatible. If you have a rule with the following conditions, it is highly recommended that you delete the condition and recreate it.
- Numeric expression comparisons: any comparison that uses >, <, >=, <=
- String expression comparisons: any comparison that uses "begins with", "ends with", "does not contain", "does not begin with", "does not end with", "is not"
- String attribute comparisons: any comparison that uses "begins with", "ends with", "does not contain", "does not begin with", "does not end with", "is not"
We apologize for the inconvenience.

@stevej Great work, the update took me by surprise, the program itself notified me while I was in the middle of restarting the program.
@stevej Nice! Time to party?

Downloaded en tested in 13.4.
The rules using tablecellvalues are being ignored.
Even a simple 'display text' actor to display the value of a tablecell would not work.
I think the majority of us are using tables to store highscores and such data.
Please fix this a.s.a.p.
I just tested a simple display text using the tableCellValue function (both with integer row/columns and named ones) and it worked fine. Please submit a bug to bugs.gamesalad.com and attach a project that's showing bad results.
Hi, just tested 13.4 and I still can't refresh the scene or change scene in the native preview (working under Windows 7 64bits). Is it normal ?
Change scene appears to be working correctly. Please submit a bug report to bugs.gamesalad.com and attach an example project that isn't working.
@stevej Bug number 999 is on file.
Also (different issue)...
0.13.4 wants to upgrade to 0.13.3?
Mathtap.com (Android) | Fridgemanager.com (Android) | Breakoutofspace.com (Android)
Huh. That's not supposed to happen.
It may be the same reason that 0.13.4 can't open its own projects once they're exported?

@stevej Hello, does this release candidate support advertising for Windows Creator?
Yes, it supports the same banner and interstitial ad services as Mac Creator 0.13.
Should installing 13.4 cause me bugs on the stable build? I created two scenes first one was the start menu with animated logo and play button. Second is the game with a player actor, the actor animate to respond to device input. Any ideas?
An issue that appeared after this build.
@JimmyMesser Do you mean that in preview, somethings don't work as they should?
It might be my imagination, but it kind of looked like somethings would randomly stop functioning during preview, like directional input, but if exported to say html5 arcade, everything works just fine. Sometimes I have to restart preview for it to work again. It might just be a preview issue and nothing wrong with the behavior codes that I've seen{I only use the html5 preview, haven't tested native preview yet}.
do you have a sample project we can look at?
ill send something when I get back home I tested my code on my Mac In The office and everything worked fine
@JimmyMesser what do you mean by device input?
Mouse
Constrain attribute self.position.y, game.Mouse.position.y
Constrain attribute self.position.y, game.Mouse.position.y
is the code for the actor... am I doing something wrong?
Two constrains doing the same thing ?
I think it's best to upload a screenshot of your rule.
lol i was typing on a mobile. the other is x
The official specs for running native preview in window creator are as follows.
A video card with 256MB of VRAM which supports OpenGL 2.0 or greater.
You can use this program to check to see if you video card meets the min specs.
You can still use it though right? Just can't run native preview? I'll have a new computer before it becomes an issue.
It turns out to be a software bug.
Yes. You can also preview using the GameSalad Viewer on a mobile device, or use the web previewer, although the web previewer is slower than the native previewer.
I'll just have so wait i guess!
@stevej I just downloaded the 13.4 stable build but am running into some problems. I have dozens of Game Salad templates for Deep Blue Apps but when I click the play button in Game Salad to test the game the screen is black. I heard the sounds of the game but the screen is black with no game playing. Has anyone experienced this before?
Sounds suspiciously like a known issue with Nvidia chipsets -- what's your graphics card?

Could you list which card have issues please, so I can avoid buying a new laptop with those cards
@dgackey I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
@JimmyMesser
The current known issue with Windows native preview affects all Nvidia chipsets, to my knowledge -- I don't have any list more specific than that.
With that said, we're working on the issue, so I don't expect that this will be a long-term problem.
