GMS2.3 is now in open beta

Good news and bad news.

The good news is that GMS 2.3 is now in open beta, so it’s now available to anyone who wants to use it. Hooray!

The bad news is that the current version of the beta appears to COMPLETELY break the callbacks, which is what the whole system relies on for interactivity, and potentially a few other things. The trials and tribulations of using software while it’s in beta.

I wrote the system in 23.1.1.123, and I can confirm it works there. In 23.1.1.135 and 23.1.1.146 the demo crashes when trying to create the Show Character button, and someone has reported that the runtime doesn’t like some other UI elements either.

For now, if you’re having problems try rolling the runtime back to 23.1.1.123. I’m going to test some more things and probably file a bug report or three later.
