What I'm wondering is, does GMS 2 use different logon servers than GMS 1.4? Reason for asking as follows:
I'm currently living in mainland China. I have GMS 1.4.1763 Professional (Steam Version) and GMS 1.4.1763 Professional (Stand Alone).
When I use either of these versions of GMS 1.4, I am able to logon to my Yoyo account via the Account->Login menu within GMS, and then open the MarketPlace and download assets I have purchased.
However, when I use GMS 2 (Desktop License) and current version (IDE 2.0.5.76, Runtime 2.0.5.49) I can only get into Online mode and access the MarketPlace if I activate my VPN first and then logon to GMS 2. This also applies to updating the runtime within GMS 2. I can only view and download runtime updates when using a VPN.
Note: This same issue has applied to all the previous Beta Builds of GMS 2 as well since I started using it a couple of months ago.
Also, if my GMS 2 license has expired / timed out(needs to be re-validatedI guess), I can re-verify it by activating my VPN and then running GMS 2. After I have done that at least once, then subsequently if I start GMS 2 *without* a using a VPN, it lets me start and run the software no problem, *however* GMS 2 will then be running in Offline mode and I can't access the MarketPlace or download new runtimes.
I realise the Great Firewall of China blocks many external sites, hence the need occasionally for VPN access.
I would really like to know if it's possible to get "Online" working with GMS 2 without my needed to always use VPN, as it's slower and VPN access doesn't always work reliably all the time.
