Just trying to get GMLive set up before I get too far into setting up a game. I imported into GMS2, made sure the files are in the right game's datafile, put the object into my first room, but I just keep getting this error with either server I attempt to run.


Starting up... (protocol version: 106; compiled at Jul 31, 2023)

Loading `C:/Users/Deanna/OneDrive/Documents/GameMakerStudio2/LotusGame/LotusGame.yyp`...

I just updated my game to the latest version and got this error too. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the new file format changes that GMS2 implemented, so I think it'll require the dev here to post an update to fix it. 

That's good to hear, I was just worried I goofed something up and couldn't figure out what it was.

I rolled my version back to the latest 2023 runtime/install and it worked just fine :)

I absolutely think that the reason for that error is the changes to the gamemaker files in the last update.

Hello, and yes - I didn’t think that the project format changes would be in this stable release, so now I suddenly have a half-dozen tools to update.

GMLive shouldn’t take too long as the server mostly just grabs the resource list from the YYP.

Ok, thanks for the update. :)

Thank you for taking care of this!

Waiting for the updates, thanks to YellowAfterlife.

A quick fix is out now: https://yellowafterlife.itch.io/gamemaker-live/devlog/692926/20242-minifix

I bought it from Yoyo games marketplace, so cant download the file from here.

Edit: OK, I see it, it’s on main page ( https://yellowafterlife.itch.io/gamemaker-live ), not in linked Development Log.
