@OURABIG: I noticed that you posted about this issue here, on Discord and on Twitter. There’s not really anything wrong with that, but it is usually enough to post your question here.

The forum is monitored throughout the day (CET timezone) by the members of the Defold team. We or some other forum member usually answer quickly to any question posted.

Asking the question on Discord is also ok as there are many active users on Discord that can help.

We (Defold team) do not give support on Twitter. It’s not a very good medium for end user support. And it is not very searchable for anyone looking for solutions to already solved problems.
