Question - IDE Error Box not loading

Sorry guys, I've search google for this but can't find an answer (not even sure whether I'm searching for the correct terms tbh).

See when you run your game (F5), and if there's an error as to why it can't load it, it tells you in the Output exactly the issue it's run into and what you need to correct. Sometimes it pulls up a white box and gives and error in there.

Currently I'm receiveing none of those and I don't even know how long I've been struggling like this. I've reinstalled GMS and what not, even saved my project under a different name and it still doesn't help! I made a new project from scratch and everything works as should in the new one, so that leads me to believe this is a problem with my project itself but I can't find anything in the preferences that might help.

Does anyone have a fix at all for this? If there's an error, it just says "FAILED: Run Program Complete" in the Output without actually telling me what's wrong :(

Start by looking for infinite loops or irrecoverable errors in the first piece of code that would run when your project starts. That may include:
  • The first room's Room Creation Code
  • The Create event or Instance Create Code of anything in the first room
  • Any code set to run with gml_pragma("global", ...);
  • The initialization routine of any of your extensions

Thanks Frostycat!

My game runs, I'm not sure if I mentioned, but this only becomes an issue when I *do* have a problem. Currently I don't have one, but when I accidentally write one, it doesn't tell me where it is :( Just says "FAILED: Run Program Complete", then I have to go around and see where the problem is :(
