Even though the inital game was created in GM7, if you save it in GM8 BETA and compile it as an .exe, GM8 BETA will still tag on the I Understand label since the game was run/compiled in GM8 Beta. You will have to wait until GM8 Release comes out. -Also, I hope you copied that .gmk somewhere else before you saved it in GM8, because if not, that message will be permanant until you re-save it in GM8 release. and @Raj, sorry about your experience. I hope when you said that you contacted the developers about the program, you didn't think they are in charge of the product serials and troubleshooting it. Softwrap is in charge of it. I got a response from them 12 hours later. And about the 64bit problem, many (if not, most) programs won't work 100% on Vista 64-bit. It has already been stated that GM7 isn't fully compatible will x64. Sorry guy. http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=396731 http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=279537 The reason most of us can talk about a new version of it is either one of the following: 1. New version are usually made to replace old versions. 2. We had no problem with the old version, but prefer to use the newest. 3. We had problems with the old verion, but we believe the newest version will fix them. 4. We are committed memembers of the Game Maker society and we don't bash it because of a problem that hasn't or can't be resolved. @BossGames

The result: GM7 didn't work. After 22 emails send to all emails addresses found in the confirmation email I never got an answer or response from the guys who sell GM7. So, there's obviously no support for this program from the maker or reseller. They take your money and give a damn if it runs or not. How can people talk in this blog about a new version if the old version doesn't run on windows Vista 64bit (and no support in getting it running?) and leaving the customer in the cold?

It can't draw Chinese text since GM6. And GM8 is even worse. The script editor can't recognize 2-bytes Characters such as Chinese. My only choice is to abandon GM until a new font system is implemented ... I highly request Game Maker to change its font system. It can’t draw Chinese text since GM6. And GM8 is even worse.

Particularly when said product's interface is already awesome, and doesn't need any purdification. Hicaro, with all due respect, updating something does not require that you make it ‘purdy’.
