Hello. The title is self explanatory. This is what my log file says. I've tried reinstalling multiple times and it hasn't worked. Don't know what else to do.

Did you manage to get it started in the end?

I had a similar problem (though I didn't check the logs - I did a lazy google!). Basically GMS2 wouldn't start after updating from the beta to the latest version. Someone had posted about deleting ~/.config/GameMakerStudio2 and that it allowed them to start (sorry I didn't bookmark the post). Anyhow I tried renaming my version of that directory rather than deleting it outright and this allowed GMS2 to start.

As I said I didn't do any detailed investigation, I just needed to get GMS2 running. Hope this may help
