    Question - IDE 1.4 Game imported to 2. FPS takes a huge hit.

    I've been seeing some users complain of lag after importing a 1.4 project to 2. The same has happened to me and I'm not sure what the issue might be. In 1.4 I spent a bunch of time optimizing my code against memory leaks and lag. My more recent updates there included getting it to run solidly...

    Looking for someone to tutor me on Game Maker

    I don't know where to post this, so I thought I would post this in this section. I need help. My brain doesn't want to work well and I keep hitting walls that take ages to break through with a spoon (that's my talent with gml for you). I do understand a lot of the basics of programming and GML...

    Slow laggy compiler

    Windows Game runs slow but reports high fps.

    Hey, I just recently purchased GameMaker Studio 2 and imported a .gmx project into it. Many times when I run the game, it runs very slow (around half-speed or less), but this is inconsistent. More often than not, it runs this slow, but sometimes if I close the program and re-open it, it will run...

    Backgrounds causing extremely slow gameplay

    Hello, I have an issue and not the slightest idea as to what might be causing it or what could fix it. My game runs just great, until I add in backgrounds. My goal is to have parallax scrolling, so multiple background layers are required. I have not introduced any scrolling features to the...

    Legacy GM Limited resources and compiling slows PC

    Hi, I submitted a support request 15 days ago and have posted this in the support forum. Thought I should try here too to see if anyone can solve it quicker. After compiling any game, no matter how simple, my computer slows down (e.g. right clicking on desktop goes from instantly bringing up a...

    Character Floats Near Non Solid Objects

    [edit] To make things short, I have a problem where my character jumps normally everywhere except for in places where there's a non-solid object behind him like a torch. The character jumps just fine on solid objects, stands, walks , and even jumps with consistency except for when there's like a...

    Legacy GM Help with making an efficient autogun (SOLVED)

    I want to make an autogun that will automatically rotate to "aim" the player once he gets in sight and then rapidly lower his health points without shooting anything (as its bullets are supposed to be fast XD). I managed to do it but I have a problem with the code that checks if the player is in...
