If you get the d3dx9_43.dll error, can you try installing this?

It's similar to the DirectX update that Construct Classic needs. Turns out Chromium itself also requires it.

May have they been copying ?

Downoloaded it, played it, it worked as intended from start to end.
And it played good. That's pretty impressive.

There's room for a lot of improvement on the performances though.
It worked nicely on my PC, but an eye on the usage of the graphic card and the cpu showed a strong activity on my quad-proc (from 60 to 80 % on each core, i5-2500K - 3.30 Ghz) and about 11% of usage of the GC "only".

Nevertheless, the proof is there, efficient exe wrapping is closer than it sounded a few months ago.

Yes, it works flawlessly on my win7 64bit laptop. No errors at all.

TBH, if it runs well, the CPU/GC usage doesn't matter - it's there to be used to get the best performance. It does max out a core on my desktop here, but the performance seems smooth. Choppiness is more worrying.

I'll see if I can improve it - Awesomium seems to force an inefficient way of drawing.

Hmm seems to take FOREVER to load here.. and when you open it sometimes, it starts instantly but missing sprites and invisible spaceship, but that might be the loading time.. used 5-10 min now still under 50% :S

@CandyFace, it has to load online at first, and there seems to be a bug that if you close it half way and launch it again, it doesn't finish loading so some things come up blank. However that's just because it's loading online, the real thing would load off disk so that would likely never happen.

Don't. You can then enforce the "Made With Construct 2" splash screen like this to free users.
Tested in my work computer. dll issue, but game ran ok, sound and all. On close, there was an error message.

Give me input, please. Thanks.

After installing that, there are no more errors when opening the game, although for some reason now the game runs very slow, but it might be unrelated to this.
