IDE randomly logs me out, resets my IDE settings #7081

Open WangleLine opened 1 month ago

WangleLine commented 1 month ago

Description

Every few months-ish, I open up GameMaker, and find myself logged out. This happened before even opening any project. My settings are also suddenly reset (code editor colors, IDE paths (caches, project files etc.)) and they do not return after I log back in.

Discord_RomqoxPLxu neeri also experiences this issue, although they say settings return upon successfully logging back in. This does not happen in my case

I have experienced it as well. Not any time recently but it's happened twice, seemingly randomly. Once maybe 2 years ago, an then another time maybe a year ago

Preferences are generally tied to your user account, so if you log out, it sets you to the guest/test account instead - so that's why your preferences immediately disappear.

Logging back in again should fix that, as then the account is your user account, and the preferences are read from that.

If your preferences are being reset/overwritten, however, that is a problem; could you verify that your user preferences match up to the guest account preferences, to see if it's managed to copy them over?

Also, please use the IDE bug reporter, as that will keep your contact-us package secure so that only GameMaker staff may download it. I've transferred the package to our internal drive so that your details do not leak out.

Thanks.
