Reverting the default release back to 2022.6.1

2022-10-04

We have now restored GameMaker 2022.6.1.26 as the default IDE version for this product, as this is the last GameMaker version which actually supports UWP. (We can see that many people using this product have already performed this step and are already using the 2022.6.1 branch within the "Betas" screen for this product, so there is no longer any need to do this.) You do need to ensure you're also using the older 2022.6.1 runtimes, as newer runtimes cannot build UWP projects! If you do want to use the 2022.8.1 we had set live previously (bearing in mind that it does not support UWP!), then you will find this on the "2022.8" branch in the Betas section (right-click GameMaker in your Steam Library and choose "Properties" and then "Betas"). However, future GameMaker releases will no longer be applied to this legacy UWP product.

The biggest issue I have is the need to go though all these steps to set it up with visual studio. The tutorials I looked at seemed obsolete too. The directory paths you are supposed to use have tutorials telling you conflicting things. There will be multiple...

NO OFFLINE!!!!!!!! Paying $200 for this and not being able to use it offline whenever I want and for as long as I want is absolutely absurd. I would refund if I could and regret buying GM2 100%. It may be my mistake for not researching the product better but I am still extremely furious. Yoyo needs to make this right! There is no sound reason for requiring an internet connection for something that cost me $200. This...

Absolutely underrated target platform which can earn you way more than this license costs. Take your chances while UWP isn't obsoleted yet, may be the last year it's accepted to Xbox - I've published 12 games there. Worth every cent, penny or any other relevant coin depending on where you live.
