Stability: GM crash when interacting with a partial IDE window after GPU device instance was lost due to being idle, "Error Code: The GPU device instance has been suspended."

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

I had left my project open for a few days, and when I tried to pull up the window the bar at the top was there but the rest of the program was invisible. I saw the star indicating that work needed to be saved so I tried hitting control + s to save it but it crashed when I did so

We have done work on the betas to alleviate this as this appears to be related to driver issues, as we have only ever been able to reproduce these crashes once.
If you are able to test the betas, which can be installed separate to the monthly, and report back as to whether that helps, that would be good.

You can get all our releases from https://releases.gamemaker.io/ and please remember to backup any projects between monthly and beta, preferably via source control, so any issues can be easily reverted.

Thanks

I've also received reports of this happening to at least one player in-game (though I've never been able to do it myself. "Leave the game idle for multiple days" isn't high on my list of things to test)

No idea if that's the same issue or not

The IDE has a different rendering system to the Runtime.. so if the game is doing it, it'll be a different bug.
