Errors when opening

[BigBlueHat]

If I pick "Make" from the initial screen, the next screen shown is an error screen that states:

Invalid at the top level of the document

Line: 1
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

Next I get a blank "Welcome" tab screen covered partly by another "Script Error" screen that reads:

An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 0
Char: 0
Error: Script error.
Code: 0
URL: ...

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

If I answer "yes", then I'm left with the blank welcome screen. I was able to create a new project, but that was then followed up by other similar errors later...

Is this normal?

Others seem to be using this without issue, so I'm hopeful it's nothing major...

Thanks!

this issue is because of GameMaker Studio 1 being in Beta version. The 404 error is due to the engine trying to load a web page that doesn't exists along with the script error. Opting into the beta version 1.499999 will stop this issue.

select 'software' from the library and right click the gamemaker application. select properties. Go to the Beta's tab and opt into beta and reload the engine. This should take care of your issues.

Thanks! Won't this be a problem for anyone who gets GameMaker: Studio? If I'd not posted here...I'd never have figured that out. Not sure if there's some other way to notify people, but I'd hate to see folks miss out on GameMaker: Studio in the meantime.

Thanks again for the answer!

To be fair, you can't find GameMaker: Studio 1 on Steam's store anymore, and haven't been able to for very long, as YoYo Games has pushed it aside in favour of GameMaker: Studio 2, so there aren't really many people who "get" GameMaker: Studio 1 anymore.

But yes, it would've been nice of YoYo Games to make version 1.4.9999 the default non-beta version of GameMaker: Studio 1.

Ah. Makes sense. Appreciate the input and help!

Is this also why my version of GMS 1 suddenly won't run my game? I try to run it ,and suddenly it crashes!
