Discussion Unable to download tutorials from the MarketPlace

[RowdyCoder]

Hi All,

I am unable to download any of the tutorials located in the market place while in GMS2. However, I can download and install the official tutorials that are directly accessible within GMS2.

Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

*Inside GMS2*
1. Marketplace > Open Marketplace

*Marketplace tab*
1. New for GameMaker Studio 2> Yo Yo Platform (tutorial)
2. Yo Yo Platform > Add to Account (Free)
3. Eula Agreement > I have read and agree to this EULA

After step three the page just sits there. At this point, no indication of a download at all. It's almost as if the link isn't pointing to anything.

Has this happen to anyone else or can you reproduce this too? I want to make sure it's not just me.

Thanks!

Same. Posted a thread about it already:

I am also unable to download the tutorials. I tried to do it once I opened GMS2, clicking Tutorials (under Explore) and the clicking the download icon that appears in each of the Official tutorials (i.e. My First Game - D&D, etc.). When I then click on the open icon (once the tutorial is moved to Owned) I get an open dialog box that opens to:

Users>User Name>Documents>GameMakerStudio2

But the folder is empty. it appears nothing was downloaded. If I click View In Marketplace and try to download from there, clicking Download simply returns me to the Start page.

We'll look into this ASAP.

It's asking you where to save the new project which will be created for this tutorial. Go ahead and give it a name, then click the Save button. Your tutorial will now be created and opened.

As for the EULA issue, do you guys get this a second time if you try to download that demo/tutorial again? We've noticed this a couple of times when server traffic is high (such as last night), but clicking the download button for that demo/tutorial a second time should carry on with the download, now the EULA has been accepted.

Seems to be working now

Excellent news - thanks for updating.

Ugh! I feel like an idiot. That worked.

Having said that, this is a strange way to go about things, imo. There are two buttons when the tutorial has been moved to Owned. One is Open and the other is View on Marketplace. My assumption is that open actually opens a file and, thus, the dialog that opens. Of course, I should have read the button, which is clearly marked "Save" and not "Open". I think the Open button should be renamed to Save or Save to Disk, etc.

Download from Marketplace was not working for me, though. Or it is not working as expected. Clicking Download brings me back to the Start page (perhaps to click the Open button there to actually save the file?).

Sorry for the late reply. All is good for me as well. Thanks
