Release Notes
Runtime Release Notes
Current Release - IDE v2.3.7.606 Runtime v2.3.7.476 (Dec 9, 2021)
This one is a collection of the stability and performance fixes which have been in the Beta releases for the last week or so, plus the fixes for some smaller-and-often-reported issues in the first release - for example, a bunch of broken hotkeys. Note that there are a lot more fixes in the Betas already, but the emphasis here was on safely resolving top issues.
Original Release - IDE v2.3.7.603 Runtime v2.3.7.474 (Nov 25, 2021)
2.3.7 brings the ability to sign in to GMS2 using an Opera single sign-on account if you wish, adds support for a new "nullish" operator in your code, and introduces three more filter layer types your can use in your rooms as well as enabling the Inspector for use in your rooms. This release also sees several performance increases (such as native Mac M1 architecture support for GMS2 itself) and some load time boosts for opening your projects and also for games starting at the end of builds.
This release also raises Spine support to require v4.0. Please be aware this updated Spine runtime will require you to re-export your Spine images using v4.0 before they will work again in GMS2!
The matching runtime version updates a number of the SDKs GMS2 requires during builds (so please see our setup guides if you have issues building projects) and fixes an issue with Android API 31+ with Android 12 devices.
There are of course also a number of other changes and several important bug fixes, so of course do also read the rest of the release notes carefully.
Note that this stable release does not include the Ubuntu IDE beta, and anyone interested in that should see the "How to get Betas" FAQ on the Helpdesk as per normal.
As ever, PLEASE check the Required SDKs FAQ before/during updating and ensure your antivirus/OS permissions are correct after you do the new install - User Permissions and Internet Access Required by GMS2 - before you submit any bug reports or post issues here.
You should post here if:
- Something has changed between the previous version and this one, breaking your game (i.e.: code that worked previously now does not)
- Something reported as fixed in the release notes is not actually fixed
- You are having IDE or system issues related to something new in this update
- You are having issues with new features introduced in this version
- You are having issues updating to this version
- Everything works and you want to tell us we are great (seriously, let us know if it all works correctly for you)
- If the issue is with the IDE, then please give a screenshot if you can to help illustrate the problem and always attach the "ui.log" file found via the "Open Log in ..." Help menu command inside GMS2
- If it is a code issue, then link to or attach a YYZ showing the most basic project possible which exhibits the behaviour
- If it is a system issue (like compiling to a specific target or running on a device) then please always include the compiler log we ask for (it's genuinely very important!) and provide details of the machine being used as well as the software versions involved
