    Windows Resource Load Failures won't go away

    I recently started using GameMaker studio 2 a few weeks ago and was starting to follow a platformer tutorial, as all newcomers do, but one day I opened up my project to a list of failed "view" resources.

    Vertical Parallax 2D Sidescrolling

I notice most people just do layer_y(layer_id, y/speed); but this doesn't really work very well, unless your room height is pretty much always the same, sort of a Super Mario level. I'm trying to achieve a result where if...

    GML Centering a room in a view larger than the room? [SOLVED]

    Yes I'm aware that it's not the best thing to have a view larger than a room, I've given my game a dynamic aspect ratio horizontally as means of better displaying the art created for it without distortion. It works properly so long as the room's width is equal to or greater than the width of...

    Need some help with a specific use of views

    Sorry for coming here with such a rookie concern! Seems simple enough but it's giving me such a headache. I'm trying to have the game run on a smaller window, yet still at its full resolution (1920x1080) in a window of 1200x674 or so. Surrounding it I'd like there to be interactable gui, menus...

    Mac OSX Can't Load Views

    One project I'm working on says resource failures encountered, and it says "failed to resource all the 'views'." Are these important and will they affect my game? I can still run my game but I'm worried about this causing a problem in the future. If so, how do I fix it?

    Hi guys, Hoping someone has an answer for me (and it's probably an easy answer). I am trying to deactivate objects that are outside a region (view plus buffer outside the view), and reactivate them as they come into the buffer zone. The instances are deactivating fine, but only reactivating...

    [SOLVED] Small sprites "jitter" when viewport is higher than view in room

    When I have small objects (Around 16x16 in width) being drawn onto a 1280x720 surface, with a view in room of about 160x90, the objects will appear blurry/jittery when moving at a speed of 1. I know it's because they have to travel a longer distance in pixels being drawn so much bigger, but is...
