So I joined the beta last week, but have still been using 1.4.x as I don't plan to switch until certain export plugins are available, but I decided to download and install GMS 2 yesterday. Sadly it wont launch. I can click on the start menu icon or the desktop icon and no process starts. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, along with multiple reboots and nothing seems to have helped. Any ideas?

Took a break to work on learning GMS 1.4 over the holidays. I tried the above, and still GMS 2 wont start. I have all the latest Win7 updates, .net 3.5 and .net 4.5 installed.

You might have a problem with OpenGL for some reason. Try this.

Something that worked for me, both when I was using Remote Desktop and on a laptop:

Copy the following file:

C:\Program Files\GameMaker Studio 2\mesa\opengl32.dll

into:

C:\Program Files\GameMaker Studio 2

and restart GMS2.

If that works, then GMS2 has a problem running under OpenGL hardware acceleration on your machine and it's reverted to the Mesa software OpenGL driver. Even though it's software, it should run quite nicely.
