GameMaker-Studio Socket error # 10060

[randle]

Hi,

I've been using this software, installed on a server share, for some time now and recently updated it to the latest version. The application works fine but am getting an error "Socket Error # 10060" on start-up. Clicking Ok clears this error but the welcome screen is blank. This error is a connection timeout according to Socket Error # 10060 Connection timed out : YoYo Games Ltd. but none of the potential causes appear to be an issue.

 

 

• Your device lost connection to the internet after GameMaker opened but before it could receive a response from the server. Internet connection is fine.
  
• Your Anti-virus software or firewall is blocking incoming information from yoyogames.com and store.yoyogames.com, or is blocking GameMaker's access to the internet in general. I have disabled AV and Firewall for testing purposes but makes not difference.
  
• store.yoyogames.com and / or yoyogames.com are blocked on your network or by your internet provider. Filtering isn't blocking either domain.
  
• Incoming traffic is rerouted on your network or port 80 is blocked. Doubt this is the case as port 80 is a common port for traffic and as far as I'm aware this wouldn't be blocking anything!
  
• Your connection is handled via a proxy which may be blocking the download of files. I use the upstream county proxy but again, can't see this would be blocking any traffic on port 80!
  

 

YoYo Games support have now drawn a blank so I either ignore this or get help elsewhere. Anyone else getting this and managed to stop it from appearing?
