Legacy GM Compile Failed

Hello,

I recently installed GM Studio and everything works fine until I try to run my game on a Windows target (or any other target).
When I do so, I get this compile error :

"Compile Failed - Please check the Compile window for any additional information"

And the compile window is telling me that :

Compile started: 16:11:48
"C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\GameMaker-Studio\GMAssetCompiler.exe" /c /m=win /config="Default" /tgt=64 /obob=True /obpp=False /obru=True /obes=False /i=3 /j=4 /cvm /tp=2048 /mv=1 /iv=0 /rv=0 /bv=1760 /gn="Project1" /td="D:\" /cd="E:\Documents\GameMaker\Cache" /sh=True /dbgp="6502" /hip="192.168.1.121" /hprt="51268" /o="D:\\gm_ttt_36941\gm_ttt_43410" "E:\Documents\GameMaker\Projects\Project1.gmx\Project1.project.gmx"

Asset Compile finished: 16:11:49
Compile finished: 16:11:49

I tried to follow the advice given here (even if I don't have the Android module) : http://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/216753368-My-game-has-failed-to-build
But it didn't change anything...

When I go in File>Preferences, the Windows SDK status is OK so I don't understand where the problem is...

Any advice to help me to resolve this problem would be nice :).

Thx !

I'm having exactly the same issue with the version just bought from HumbleBundle. It wont work with the "my first game" tutorial or demo files.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Studio and running as admin with no luck.

Compile window is pretty much as above - says its going to compile, that compile finished and no other info.

I found and followed the instructions on this page on the yoyo site but that doesn't help either. I also found this page about Windows 8 (I'm on Windows 10) about installing VS, - do I really need to do this?

Any help gratefully received - I must be doing something wrong somewhere

Just fixed my problem above (found the solution in a Steam forum post). My default temp directory is on a RAMDisk. Changing the temp location from this to to C:/User/<user>/AppData/Local/Temp in preferences did the trick. Don't know if this will also work for you Bliomoh?

This happened to me also, the fix was fairly simple.
i had a variable (dir) autocorrect to the built in function (directory_create) with my arguments staying the same.
directory_create = point_direction(other.x,other.y,x,y); (bugged)
dir = point_direction(other.x,other.y,x,y); (fixed)
I would check your code for auto corrects like this, in the compile window you can see where it (if that's what it is) happened near the top of the compile.
Hope this helped anyone else with the same issue c:
