    Question - IDE Debugger moves out of screen (towards non-existing monitor). How to get it back?

    Previously I worked dual-screen. A while ago my second monitor stopped working, so I am temporarily on one monitor now. So far, all apps/programs that I had used on monitor 2 have adapted, except GameMaker's debugger. When I run a game in debug mode, I see a Windows window shadow moving towards...

    SOLVED Debug mode memory leak when restarting game? Using the latest GameMaker version [2023.11.1.129] [Repeatable]

    So, as the title states I don't know if this counts as a memory leak as I'm a novice. I was using the debug mode and and using the "restart game" button in the debugger interface to test a few things in my game, but while I was doing that I opened the task manager as the debug mode graph looked...

    GameMaker Debugger Pause with Keyboard

    I need to pause the game in the debugger but there is no keyboard shortcut that does this. How to pause with the keyboard to see what is causing the "lag" in the debugger. I would need to see how it performs debug mode in fullscream. I don't have two monitors, would there be any way to pause...

    Mac OSX IDE keeps changing size and display monitor

    This issue has been plaguing me since I picked up GameMaker again a couple of months ago. The IDE keeps changing which monitor it's displayed on, going from my external monitor back to my laptop. The issue seems to occur 90% percent of the time whenever I close a debugger window or start the...

    GameMaker Debugger constantly freezes

    As the titles says, when using the debugger and stepping through code, Gamemaker eventually always freezes and I have to force close it and restart. This has been the case with all the latest version since maybe 5-6 months back, and this is of course extremely frustrating. I have read that...

    Question - IDE Profiler not showing functions/methods name

    Is it normal that the profiler only show "anon_<something>_<index>" when a method/function is called? Is the only way to see the name of the function in the profiler is to define it as a script: "function foo() {...}" rather than "foo = function() {...}"? An exemple of what I see in the...

    GameMaker Debugger not working at all, anyone else having this issue?

    Hey, so the debugger has just straight up not been working since this latest update for me... What happens is that like half the time when it hits a breakpoint the code won't show up and the game freezes but doesn't actually pause properly. Sometimes when I press pause then play again it works...

    GameMaker Debugger Connecting but not Opening?

    Hi folks! Since about a week ago, the Debugger Workspace no longer opens when I launch via the Debug option (i.e. F6). The game will run, and the Output window will say that the debugger connected successfully, and I've not been prompted by the firewall (the fact the Output window says it's...

    GameMaker Weird bug with the debugger and instance_create_depth

    Hi, so I'm trying to create an object then modify it but I noticed a weird issue with the debugger in the process... var char = instance_create_depth(x, y, 0, obj_Jeebo); unlockedCharsSpr[cnt] = char; unlockedCharsSpr[cnt].pause = true; In the debugger, I have a breakpoint on the second line...

    GameMaker Debugger Pause Issue

    Hey so since the newest update I've been having an issue where pausing my game in the debugger usually just doesn't work and freezes the game instead. This also occurs if I add a breakpoint while the game is running (though seems like it works more often doing that?) It literally just pauses the...

    GameMaker Debugger goes to white screen at launch

    As weird of a problem as this is, I've run into a bug with Gamemaker itself I can't figure out. As of about three weeks ago, I updated Gamemaker to the most recent version as usual, updated my runtime to the latest version, and then tried to launch in to debug my program as I usually would...

    Question - IDE Debugger All Instances list wrong / incomplete?

    Hi, I've never had a problem debugging in my project before - but today I've noticed that the All Instances section of the debugger isn't filling correctly. There's normally 15-20 different objects in the room that I'm testing and now there is only 4. Two of them aren't listed by ID like I...

    SOLVED Passing id as parameter, debugger crash

    Hi.. I'm having some issues with this simple piece of code: I have this constructor in a dedicated script file: // script test.gml function myTest() constructor { myArray = []; // a breakpoint anywhere inside the function below crashes the game // also, the debugger doesn't...

    GameMaker Game Freezes at Certain Point [Solved]

    In my game, there's a certain point where the game will just freeze, and the only way to stop it is to end the task with Ctrl, Alt, Delete. I have no idea why it could be freezing, as I've tried multiple ways of finding out the problem, like: I've disabled the camera, since I use trigger...

    HTML5 Typing into the console on html5 export pauses/crashes the game even in a blank project

    Hello, I noticed lately that if you type into the console (not even pressing enter just typing in the console) the game stops working and it shows this: as you can see it says paused in the debugger and I can press the little play button to resume but that crashes the game. This project has...

    SOLVED Cause of Memory Usage not Appearing

    Hi! I posted a thread a few days ago to help optimize a feature of my game, but I found a problem that I feel needs to be discussed separately. I dug a bit, and found the profiler, which is supposed to tell you exactly what is causing your game to lag and what is taking certain step...

    Debugger Instances Tab not working (GMS 2.3.5) (Solved)

    When running the debugger, all of the watcher tabs seem to be broken. My goal is to see a list of all the current instances in a room. The profiler works fine, but the "instances" tab is simply blank. Am I missing something? Thanks in advanced Manual says "Pause" the debugger. I see them now.

    GameMaker Debugger Producing Different Results to Running Game Normally

    Hi, I'm hoping I'm posting in the right place but it's my first time posting here, so any guidance at all will be appreciated. I've been coding a quiz game in several answer boxes (each eventually to represent a player) are present to enter text (answers to a given questions) into. Should the...
