Stability: GM crash when trying to background login if gms.yoyogames.com can't be resolved at that time

Description

I'm attaching ui.log

ui.log

After this line it crashes:

DoUpdateDownload exception System.Net.WebException: No such host is known. (gms.yoyogames.com:443) ---> System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: No such host is known. (gms.yoyogames.com:443) ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (11001): No such host is known.

Like this:

Yes, the ui.log has a series of errors right at the end for not being able to reach our servers and check the RSS feeds. Will investigate this, as we're currently investigating other problems with these feeds not being reliable when accessed by the IDE.

Thanks!

I will point out, though, that your log has a lot of permissions errors on almost every IDE session and looks like it crashes often on startup because you're blocking/firewalling the MQTT server, plus I see a lot of lines about various files being locked when GM is trying to access them.

Slightly aside from this crash (although it might well help stop the crash from happening again also) you might want to review our Permissions FAQ and follow the steps there. 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.

I haven't had an IDE crash in a long while and also no related issues working with GM (beta or stable), so I'm not sure about those locked files, but I'll look into it.

Thanks for your feedback!
