Just got this game as part of the Racial Justice bundle, and it looks really cool, I was super excited to play it. But after extracting the files and opening it, it would start up the game for a few seconds before this pooped up:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation
ShaderName: shader0

D3DXCompile failed - result

at gml_Script_scr_title_draw
############################################################################################
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stack frame is
gml_Script_scr_title_draw (line 0)
gml_Script_scr_game_master_draw
gml_Object_obj_game_master_Draw_0


I'm not sure what this means, or if there's anyway to fix it?

Hey! Thanks so much for checking out BIT RAT! The error you're seeing is, usually, related to a missing DirectX 9 runtime, which you can download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429. This issue crops up sometimes with Gamemaker: Studio 1.4 games and is usually resolved by installing the above file and restarting the application.

If this doesn't get you up and running, please let us know and we'll troubleshoot from there!

Thanks again!

That worked great, thanks so much! I love the game so far, too! But as someone who loves rats and puzzle games with underlying stories as much as I do, I may be biased lol
