Would you mind telling me what type of computer you use and what operating system? It worked for me when I tested it, but GMS2 is just weird, so Im going to buy the license to export for html5 and then see if people have an issue
I was playing on PC with windows 10, I tried clicking the start button and pressing whatever I thought of on the keyboard to get past the start screen. Haven't had any issues with GMS2 before (I used it for my entry).
