Best of all – you play all of these sometimes very quirky games made with Game Maker Studio for free. By bringing Opera GX and GameMaker Studio 2 together, we want to make creating, sharing and playing games as quick and easy as posting on social media.

Opera GX 80.0.4170.91 64-bit on Windows 11 Version 21H2 (Build 22000.282) (Fresh profile, no adblocker, no extensions, no vpn, no sync)

I'm getting "Exception thrown, see Javascript console".

Tried 2 games so far. Flow and Super Crazy Turkey Arcade. Edit: Seems like every game.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the console for the game window. I can close out of the window and go to the console in dev tools on the game's page where the play button is, but the console is empty. It also seems like the game redownloads the data each time I try to play instead of using a cache.

@burnout426 Got it. Had to disable hardware acceleration. Old-gen Intel GPU, so I guess that's understandable.

@burnout426 Thank you, was having similar problem on my older laptop, and disabling the hardware acceleration seems fixed the issue for me

@shintoplasm01: They've had the best browser for ~30 years. They should have had 60% market share, not 1-2%.
I think the gaming angle is a good one. There are hundreds of millions of PC gamers and no other browser caters for them. It's a shame Chromium is so bloated. I think they need to work on stopping little used libraries from automatically starting up unless the sites that need them are being used.
