Every time I try to use GMS 2, I encounter a new showstopping bug. I've tried doing complete uninstall / reinstalls, which usually help for a little while, then something else breaks. This time, the IDE is hanging forever when I try to create a new project from the Start page.

It's very frustrating - I was excited to learn GM and create cool things, but it's just not usable. I don't think I've ever used such a bug-ridden piece of software in my 25 years of experience. It's a shame because if it worked, GMS2 would be a truly amazing tool. But I just can't use it or recommend it to anyone in its current state. Thanks for reading.

Have a look at your ui.log and see what it's getting hung up on?

Hi -- I don't know the bug number as there's no option (unless I've missed it) to view my tickets from the Accounts section and I don't seem to have a login to the Mantis tracker. Thanks, Steven

Am I the only one having this problem with code folding?


It bothers me so much.

The visualization of inherited events is an interesting addition and one I appreciate. It seems like the system works the way it did before, but now when you "inherit" an event it will include 'event_inherited()', and override does not. Very small boon, but certainly fine. That said, what does the icon represent? The ghost has three circles, and the override/inherit has two circles and an x? It's nice having that icon to let you know this object is inheriting an event, but I'm just wondering what the visual language is supposed to indicate besides the existence of inheritance. Not because it must or anything, but it's odd to have the two icons since they both seem to indicate roughly the same idea.

EDIT: Oh, and did I mention how ecstatic I was that you guys reverted/fixed/changed the home/end keys to respond normally/abnormally again! I tried to get used to the previous method but at least a dozen times an hour I would accidentally hit it and end up at the bottom of my code page. This is a small thing, but I prefer the current handling and thank you guys for putting it back!

Yeah, not seeing the issue - can you describe it?

When the region is open the side line overlaps with the "minus" button for closing a region. This makes it look like a plus sign.
