Start Page: Official project Templates are missing

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

As the title states, the official project templates are missing after both a new fresh install and a clean install (using Revo Uninstaller). When going through the Set Up Wizard, selecting New under "Get Started", selecting any Project Type (Game, Live Wallpaper, Game Strip) there are no templates that are selectable except for setting up a blank project. When opening the dropdown menu and selecting "Official Templates" nothing shows either.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch GameMaker (in my case for the first time/fresh or clean install)
2. Select "New" under "Get Started"
3. Select any of the options under "Select Project Type"
4. You will now only see an option for "Blank _____" when looking to select a template under "Select Template"
5. Select the dropdown menu and select "Official Templates"
6. You will still only see "Blank [Game, Live Wallpaper, Game Strip]"

Which version of GameMaker are you reporting this issue for?

IDE v2024.11.0.179 Runtime v2024.11.0.227

Which operating system(s) are you seeing the problem on?

Windows 10.0.22631.0

I am experiencing the exact same issue.

I am also a first time installer/user, No templates available on start-up.

What I've attempted thus far without success:

• Cycled through the dropdown of template categories. (no templates anywhere)
• re-install (run installer as administrator)
• sigin out/signing in (opera via google)

Additional information:

I do not have any third-party antivirus or firewalls.
I am running Windows 11 Pro (26100.3194)

This is a temporary issue with our web server, rather than a GameMaker bug, and should be fixed later today. You will see the content suddenly appear the next time you start GM after the web server issue is fixed.

Note that this is affecting everyone - it's just that most users will already have their template list and images downloaded, so GameMaker will continue showing this offline content and that person won't see there is a web problem right now.
