GameMaker: Studio

What works

• Installing and running the software.
• Modifying object properties, GML scripting, building rooms
• Compiling and running a GMS2 game.
• Built-in graphics editor.
• Mostly everything.

What does not

• Using winetricks is required for installation and running - see Workarounds.

Workarounds

This thread on the official GameMaker forums contains information on the workarounds used. It's a year old, but the workarounds described still work.

.NET Framework 4.5.2 and 4.8 are both required to be installed under a Wine prefix in order to install and run GMS2. Without 4.8, the program ignores the mouse.

Additionally, to be able to compile/run your game under Wine you must modify your shortcut to contain the following line:

Exec=gnome-terminal -- bash -c 'WINEPREFIX="<YOUR WINE PREFIX DIRECTORY>" WINEARCH="win64" wine64 "\GameMaker Studio 2\GameMakerStudio.exe"'

The thread also contains some fixes for bugs that may be encountered.

What was not tested

• GMS2 Marketplace.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: AMD
• Driver: open source
