Question, what IDE/Runtime do you have?

#

Top right

#

Aha

#

I figured

#

Your IDE and runtime are the wrong versions

#

The general rule of thumb is to try and keep the IDE and runtime relatively the same

#

To prevent any issues

#

In your case

#

You can just downgrade the runtime version

#

One of the latest 2024.4* versions should do

#

File -> Preferences -> Runtime feeds -> Master

#

Say 2024.400.0.571

#

Question, did you install all (or most) of the Ubuntu dependencies?

#

(That was apart of the setup guide)

#

I'm aware this is Arch Linux, but they're still needed

#

You might be able to get away with installing a few of them here, but at most you need:

  • Steam runtime
  • Linux Deploy
  • App Image
#

The section above that will be all of the other Ubuntu dependencies

#

But we'll try the main 3 first

#

Since the IDE should cover a majority of what you need

#

No worries

#

That part is only relevant if you're testing from a non-Linux machine

#

As GameMaker can build to other platforms via the main PC

#

Try running it again

#

👌

#

About as expected

#

Yeah honestly, this doesn't really seem helpful

#

Perhaps debug.log might paint a better picture

#

/home/jabble/GameMakerStudio2/debug.log

#

Assuming if one is made

#

That's fine

#

Yeah tbh, it never reported an error uh

#

What if you were to just run the app image manually?

#

/home/jabble/GameMakerStudio2/yyc/FIGHT_THING/FIGHT_THING.AppImage

#

My next best guess is that we might be missing a dependency or two

#

My next best guess is that we're missing a dependency or two

#

That'll be where the others come in

#

nods nods

#

Well the good news is, GameMaker does also let you export a zip version

#

But I can't recall what format the executable is in exactly

#

Right okay no specific format, just an executable

#

When you hit Create Executable

#

GameMaker will ask you where to save your files

#

You should also have a drop down menu option

#

Between AppImage or Zip

#

No worries

#

Only staff can really do that

#

(Well, at least iirc)

#

You can add the tag Solved though
