Judging from that error, this is an issue with the OS account permissions, antivirus/firewall settings or other security products on your machine or network, rather than a GameMaker bug or something we could fix fully/properly for you (we will of course look into stopping the crash and instead show you a dialog that you need to check the guide below).
You need to review our Permissions FAQ and follow the steps there, and I suspect this will allow you to fix your existing GM install right away. Note that we always link to this guide on the release notes page, as many users need to review their protection settings every time they install a new version of GameMaker, so this may be something you need to do also in future.
Specifically, this looks to be that your user needs WRITE access to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys as it's trying to generate a private key for your machine, and falling over as it cannot write there.
We will still look into catching this exception and handling it more gracefully however.
I appreciate the response! After allowing write access to this folder, I was able to open it up again and recover my project! Thank you so much for the help and support! I was just really confused because the Long Term Stable version was working just fine, right? But when I upgraded to this version of GMS2 after the last I only saw the screen halt before showing the load project screen
This is excellent news! I'm very grateful you guys could help me out (:

Should now catch the exception and just stop MQTT from starting up and blocking the rest of the IDE flow. The exception will be logged to the ui.log as normal.
You guys are so on top of it! Thank you so much for your help and support(:

Verified as of Beta IDE v2024.800.0.613 Beta Runtime v2024.800.0.636
Description
When I go to launch the game, the splash screen comes up describing what it's loading and when that screen goes away, I'm met with just a blank grey screen. The project selection screen does not appear, and when clicking on the screen it begins Not Responding. Unable to load into the IDE through opening project files as well. Since I can't get into GMS2 itself and create a contact package, I'm unable to provide that below, but have attached the ui log in hopes that the issue can be found there
ui.log shows lots of successive cryptography exceptions:
