I'm using the one available in the download section.Are you using 1.4.9999?
The errors on startup were fixed in the final version, previous versions try to connect to now defunct servers.
I'm not sure what that version is tbh as it was so long ago I last downloaded or used 1.4, but I just fired up v1.4.9999 here and don't get any errors at startup.I'm using the one available in the download section.
Yeah, I can't log in because the acquiring license screen gets stuck. I believe the version I'm using is 1.4.9999 because the download section in the dashboard shows the release notes of it.I'm not sure what that version is tbh as it was so long ago I last downloaded or used 1.4, but I just fired up v1.4.9999 here and don't get any errors at startup.
You can see the first entry in the GMS 1.4 Release Notes mentions removal of the online connectivity, specifically the News Feed which is what the startup errors were in previous versions.
Does the message prevent you from logging in and using it?
Yeah I'd assume it's 1.4.9999 on the website but wasn't sure you meant the YYG website - as I say I can open it here without any issues or errors.Yeah, I can't log in because the acquiring license screen gets stuck.

Hi. Sorry to reply you more than 2 months later, but I forgot to do so that day. The reason I used the "Steam" tag was that I bought GMS2 there, and it came with a GMS1.4 license. I still don't know what to do, or maybe I should downgrade to an older version of 1.4.Yeah I'd assume it's 1.4.9999 on the website but wasn't sure you meant the YYG website - as I say I can open it here without any issues or errors.
I see you've used the "Steam" tag on this thread - have you tried using the standalone version?
Someone made a long post detailing a lot of the issues that can happen when trying to still use 1.4, take a look through the info they posted and see if anything listed might help.

If you have GMS2, why are you wanting to use 1.4?Hi. Sorry to reply you more than 2 months later, but I forgot to do so that day. The reason I used the "Steam" tag was that I bought GMS2 there, and it came with a GMS1.4 license. I still don't know what to do, or maybe I should downgrade to an older version of 1.4.
I want to use 1.4 because I wanted to try an engine created with 1.4 as a base called Megamix. Is it legal to have both an original license and a pirated license?If you have GMS2, why are you wanting to use 1.4?
If you have to use 1.4 for some reason, then use v1.4.9999.
However I'd 100% recommend using GMS2 and forgetting about 1.4.
Then use 1.4.9999 - you can download it from the GMS1.4 Release Notes or by from the download area on the YYG site after logging in with your account.I want to use 1.4 because I wanted to try an engine created with 1.4 as a base called Megamix.
You said you own GMS2 and a 1.4 licence came free with it - although free 1.4 licences with GMS2 purchases stopped happening a long time ago so as you've mentioned piracy I assume it was a lie and your version of 1.4 is pirated which of course isn't legal. You won't get any help with that here and may be banned, so tread carefully.Is it legal to have both an original license and a pirated license?
I don't have a pirated license of 1.4, It was only a question. I bought GMS2 from Steam and when I linked my account, it gave me a free download of 1.4 in my dashboard.Then use 1.4.9999 - you can download it from the GMS1.4 Release Notes or by from the download area on the YYG site after logging in with your account.

Import the 1.4 project into GMS2 and work with it there.
Seems odd that you'd own licences to both and ask a question about whether having a pirated version is legal.I don't have a pirated license of 1.4, It was only a question. I bought GMS2 from Steam and when I linked my account, it gave me a free download of 1.4 in my dashboard.
I don't know if I really have the license or it's only the free download at the YYG Dashboard. Also, I forgot to mention I was talking about 1.4.9.Seems odd that you'd own licences to both and ask a question about whether having a pirated version is legal.
The error you are getting usually happens with version < 1.4.9999 which still do server checks - so get the latest version.
I just opened my own version of 1.4.9999 and it works fine as it does no online checks - the Release Notes I linked have more info on this in the first section.
Anyway, my advice stands:
If you have to use 1.4 then use 1.4.9999.
If you don't then use GMS2.
Remember that you can import 1.4 projects into GMS2 so you could also do that with the Megamix project you want to use.
So login to your YYG account and check what licences you have - it will tell you there what licences you own for each version.I don't know if I really have the license or it's only the free download at the YYG Dashboard. Also, I forgot to mention I was talking about 1.4.9.
