Hello, iv been using GMLIVE for a bit now, its very useful, I use it all the time on the newest version of game maker 2
I wanna use it to help with a project that requires a bit of an older version of gm2 but I keep getting this issue
on the first run of the project while using GMLive it works just fine but when I close it the gmlive server still says it has a process connected and when I run the project again it tells me the texture format in the cache files have changed so it refuses to finish compiling, cleaning the project cache or simply closing and reopening the project lets me compile again but the same thing happens again after I close it
im using "GMLive (for GMS2.3)"
and my exact run time and IDE is "IDE v2023.11.1.129" and "Runtime v2023.11.1.160"
I cant tell if im having a brain fart and missing something obvious or what
the error in question
