if you leave it running for a while on android (exported with beta 5) you should be able to spot differences in the values.

rotating actives works great on my game by the way.

The rotating active problem was related to a timer based condition. It works but I had to replace it with an alternate non-timer based condition.

Ok the difference are because the events start at different moments, (every one sec after first compare and after activate test)

AND

depending the runtime, the natural lag, explain myself, when you issue an event 1" it compare this value with the previous + some loop time, it the loop is ultra fast they will count approximately the same but if not you will have some slip in the count.

so this is the difference between them.

but please be aware you are using "timer equals 1" " activate group, always is good if applies add "Run this event once" if you do you will see how it changes behavior

going further

if you compare android with windows for example timer/1000 is bigger in android than windows, and seems be more accurate too.

and of course in all case but more in Android more object you make more difference in the counter.

one thing to avoid this is to have the same timer calculation for all this can be done using "on timer events" feature added in fusion 2.5

here is your example modified

hope it help

Ah yeah, the on timer events repeating with -1 can be very helpful.
So it's easy to go around it in a different way, you may have missed the bug i was talking about though. It's not just going at a slightly different rate (1 or 2 sec difference) it's actually skipping over the event, so what could happen is that suddenly the counter won't change at all for 5 seconds or more.

Anyway, there is another more important bug, with adding backdrops outside of screen. It makes backdrops you can collide with, but it also makes a lot of invisible things you collide with in other places, i added an example to the bugbox.

Hi FVivolo,

My game crashed on my android device when the highscore object tries to open the native dialogue to accept a name entry for the score. Is this a known bug that will be fixed?

Thanks,
Mike
