• IDE Featured Changes
  • Code Editor: flexpanel_node_style_set_…_height/width() variant parameter orders are now consistent and match the manual’s content (note that if you have been using these functions in Betas, then you will need to revise your code now!) #7086
  • Install: [Ubuntu IDE] 2024.800.0.613 installation no longer fails on the pulseaudio dependency step if a similar package is installed already in some distros (reverted the earlier change to try installing this package automatically, so please continue to follow the setup guide as normal) #7424

  • In-Game: [Ubuntu] Projects no longer crash during startup in 2024.800 runtimes if the machine running the game does not already have the required-as-of-2024.8 “PulseAudio” package installed already #7234
  • And there are a number of other 2024.800-only audio bugs fixed in this release, so please do see the changelist for specifics if you’re still getting audio problems that are new in 2024.800

Beta 5 - IDE 609/Runtime 633 Changes (Aug 14, 2024)

• Android - Support For Newer Gradle Versions
  • Added support for building projects on Android to use Gradle version v8.7/plugin version 8.5, as API 34 requests #5906
  • The Android build tools should automatically download the new Gradle tools during your first build process inside GameMaker, but please do pay attention to the whole of your compiler log if you find you have issues building in this new version
  • (Especially if you know your machine is offline or that you typically firewall GameMaker, or you use any antivirus software, as you may need to temporarily remove those restrictions on your machine and allow the Android tools to update themselves)
• IDE Featured Changes
  • Debugger: Fixed game crashes when hitting a breakpoint and then moving the mouse cursor over the code to view the values in the attached project #7237
  • Image Editor: [Mac IDE] Fixed that GM went unstable when attempting to edit a sprite that has previously failed to load #6747
  • Sprite Editor: Fixed that GM went unstable when moving multiple frames at once in the preview bar #7041

  • Building Projects/In-Game: Fixed various issues with the built-in “gm_lights_…` uniforms if used in in HLSL shaders that could cause build fails or “Array too large for shader” errors during the game #6840
  • In-Game: Fixed that various maths functions interpreted “undefined” as the number -6 #7185

  • In-Game: audio_group_load() on a group that isn’t unloaded no longer prints an error message which fails to retrieve the audio group name #7241

Beta 4 - IDE 605/Runtime 628 Changes (Aug 8, 2024)

• iOS - Support For Specifying Your Game’s Supported Localisations
  • Added support for addition of “languagecode.lproj” folders to the Options directory (or a config subdirectory) to allow language support to be added at the Xcode level, so that it goes through to the store listing #5683
  • This means that you can set the languages properly inside your project source and it will be used every build, rather than editing these values inside Xcode and then each build back in GameMaker would overwrite those Xcode changes
  • It also allows for the runner’s en.lproj content to be replaced with your own custom strings
  • And fixed it so English is not listed as deprecated in the Xcode list…
• IDE Featured Changes
  • Code Editor: Ctrl+Q command now works reliably again #5663
  • Code Editor: flexpanel_node_style_set_…_height/width() variant parameter orders have now been made consistent and match the Beta manual content - be aware that flexpanel_node_style_set_flex_basis() and flexpanel_node_style_set_position() had their argument order fixed the same way also #7086
  • Inspector: [Objects] “Visible” and “Persistent” checkboxes were in a section called “Collision Mask”, so this caused confusion - the section has now been renamed to “General Settings” and the one gadget that was actually to do with the collision mask now says this explicitly #6645
  • Package Manager: Moved the default install path out of ‘My Documents’ in order to match the other changes in 2024.4 - note that this means any existing older packages will not be found now and so you should move/delete them outside GM yourself #7182
  • Room Editor: Brush Tool’s “Alt” key functionality now works again #5091
  • Room Editor: Shift+Ctrl+LMB to add more items into an existing group selection now works again #5984
  • Start Page: Single-clicks on any Templates will now also set the right-hand panel ready for you to create a new project - you no longer have to click the template itself a second time #6745
• Runtime Featured Changes
  • In-Game: Filters no longer break rendering in rooms which use multiple viewports/cameras #5934
  • In-Game: [HTML5] Failed requests for streamed sounds will no longer cause games to crash #7024
  • In-Game: audio_is_playing() will no longer return ‘true’ for compressed sounds which were already stopped by audio_stop_sound() #7026
  • In-Game: [YYC] collision_line() no longer causes the silent crash seen in early 2024.800 runtimes #7063
  • In-Game: [YYC] collision_rectangle() no longer causes the silent crash seen in early 2024.800 runtimes #7075
  • In-Game: dbg_drop_down() now has support for scrolling the list using mouse wheel #6416

Beta 3 - IDE 602/Runtime 624 Changes (Aug 1, 2024)

• “Contact-Us Package” Tool Upgraded To Upload Your Files Privately
  • Help > Create Your Contact Us Package has now been upgraded to become Help > Upload a Bug/Ticket Sample #6375
  • This tool still grabs all your log files automatically and turns them into a .zip file, but now the new dialog allows you to add an example project and any additional files you want to include and then, crucially, it will now privately upload the .zip to our server for you
  • You are then returned a URL (there’s a clickable button to copy this to your OS clipboard) and you can add that URL onto any GitHub bug report or customer service ticket, safe in the knowledge that only GameMaker staff can access that upload (you can’t even download it yourself)
  • This means you can now very easily add missing samples onto bug reports whenever we request a project, or send logs and other information in support of other user’s bug reports to show you have the same problem, etc. - you no longer need to report a duplicate copy of any bug report just to privately send us additional files!
  • Note: If you’re someone who prefers using the GitHub website forms for creating bug reports, rather than the IDE, then we would strongly recommend using this tool for all files you wish to link to on the bug report, rather than using any external fire-sharing host or attaching files publicly on the bug form
• Bug Reporter Now Warns About Mismatched IDE/Runtime Versions
  • Due partly to a huge number of historical users coming back to GameMaker with the recent 2024.6.2 release (which is fantastic) and also partly due to a runtimes-checking bug in that IDE version (which is not…), we have seen a lot of reports recently from users who are using wildly out-of-date runtimes because their GameMaker install is not updating automatically and they have not noticed the problem before they send a bug report
  • Accordingly, the bug reporter will now alert you when you’re not using the correct runtime “family” that the current IDE you’re using expects #6866
  • E.g., if you’re not using any “2024.8.whatever” runtime with the “2024.8.whatever” IDE, then the bug reporter will suggest that you update your GameMaker install or at least set the correct runtime as active and confirm if that stops the problem
  • This means you get the information on how and where to fix your GameMaker setup immediately and in most cases you then won’t need to send a bug report
  • Note that it is valid to use different runtime versions to the IDE version, as you may want to stay on older runtimes in order to finish off a project before you update, and so the bug reporter will allow a slightly newer/older runtime family to be used and still send a bug report
  • However, very different runtimes (more than a couple of releases too old or too new) will block you from sending a bug report until you return to the correct versions
  • A polite reminder to always read the release notes and then also search the bug database (or at the very least check the 3 pinned issues at the top of the page) before you send any reports!
  • And if you use Steam to run GameMaker, remember that there are additional important release notes on the Steam store page for your GameMaker install each time a new version is released.
• IDE Featured Changes
  • Debugger: RAM usage remains very high after viewing large surfaces, even after closing the debugger #6821
  • Debugger: If an instance bound is set to NaN when hitting a breakpoint this crashes the game before that break happens #6818
  • Package Manager: Menu item becomes disabled on closing a project and returning to the Start Page #6898
  • Startup: [Mac IDE] GM crash during first start after installing a new IDE because the runtime install path cannot be found #6863
  • And a lot more Code Editor 2 fixes
• Runtime Featured Changes
  • Building Projects: In-game only Effects being used on a room layer gives error “it, or its linked prefab libraries, need upgrading” in 2024.800 Beta 2 #6865
  • Building Projects: [Android] .aar files in extensions will cause fails due to Jetifier support being enabled #6822
  • Building Projects: [HTML5] A number of fixes for projects not building correctly or only running when using the debugger in recent 800 Betas #6902 #6880
  • In-Game: directory_create() silent crash when trying to name the directory using invalid characters for a file path #6442
  • In-Game: “Reverb” effect’s performance is very bad on low-spec machines #6674
  • In-Game: [HTML5] Resizing the application_surface repeatedly can cause WebGL crashes in 2024.6 runtimes #6738

Beta 2 - IDE 597/Runtime 620 Changes (Jul 25, 2024)

• Stalls/Freezes Fix
  • A memory/performance issue has been found and fixed, which should greatly help reduce or hopefully eliminate freezes/stutters some users saw when editing their projects and scrolling/panning windows or typing in the code editor
  • This was most commonly reported as something which built up over time, or suddenly started after using GM for a while, but this time element has since found to not be required and we could recreate the slow-down pretty soon after loading and working on a project by performing certain steps
  • For more information on the types of actions or areas of the IDE which saw these stutters on various users’ machines, please see the long-running issue linked below - however, bear in mind that a lot of the information here is now out-of-date and was often speculative, so if you saw freezes but your experience doesn’t exactly match what’s written in that issue, be aware that you will likely still see the same benefit from the change above
  • Performance: Short freezes/lag if GM kept open for a while after editing code #2528
  • If you do still see freezes in this release, please report a new bug and ensure you provide detailed steps/information on what you were doing when the stutters occured and also allow the IDE bug reporter to attach your project (please don’t reply to that old issue now)
• GMRT Open Beta
  • This version of GameMaker gives you an early look at the new Package Manager and GMRT export target (currently only for Windows and GX.games)
  • For more information on what these new features are and how to get started, see the GMRT Open Beta blog post
  • It’s worth saying just now that GMRT will remain only available in Beta releases for a long time yet
• Toggling Code Editor Type Now Requires A Restart
  • In order to stop a number of “temporary” issues caused by changing CE1 > CE2 or CE2 > CE1, GameMaker will now ask you to restart before it will apply the change fully
  • This means whatever code editor you had active will remain the active one, and your editor windows will not change straight away
• IDE Featured Changes
  • Bug Reporter: Improved the “PrivateIssueError” message to be something much more informative (the issue was always that your GameMaker account was not authorised on GitHub via the newer “Enterprise” button on your account panel) #6836
  • Redefine Keys: Added save/load functionality for saving out you user remaps to a file #4838
  • Plus a number of Code Editor 2 fixes
• Runtime Featured Changes
  • In-Game: Added new function http_set_connect_timeout() to enable setting custom timeouts to other http_…() calls #5744
  • In-Game: weak_ref_create() can now take an Id.Instance and create a weak_ref to it #6778
  • In-Game: [Desktops, GX.games] keyboard_virtual_height() when no virtual keyboard is enabled should return a consistent “0” to match iOS/Android, rather than “undefined” #6549
  • In-Game: Error “OpenAL error: 40963 (After playing sound)” no longer appears repeatedly after longer game sessions and causes some sounds stop playing #6755 / In-Game: Playing streamed sounds from outside the sandbox generates errors that block other sounds from playing #6727
  • In-Game: Objects cannot use with() to reach the scope inside itself in 2024.800 Beta 1 #6765
  • In-Game: [YYC] “Input” library causes a silent crash in 2024.800 Beta 1, because “self” is being set to static outside constructors #6759
  • In-Game: [YYC] finally() can cause a silent crash when executed in specific scenarios #6729
  • In-Game: [HTML5] Issues running projects in 2024.800 Beta 1 when various target Preferences are enabled #6748

Beta 1 - IDE 593/Runtime 617 Changes (Jul 18, 2024)

Important: Please note that running projects on HTML5 is not working as intended in this Beta. Running a build with the preferences enabled to “Remove Unused Functions” and “Enable Conditional Compilation” only, will result in an error. Running a build with the only preference enabled being “Pretty Print” will also cause an error.

Please do not report this, as it is a known issue already and you can find the report here #6748

• Flex Panels Support In-Game
  • Lots of runtime functions have been added for enabling and controlling Flex Panel support in your games #3160
