What are styles.json Error Messages?


General styles.json Runtime Errors

styles.json file errors often occur during the startup phase of Game Maker Studio 2, but can also occur while the program is running. These types JSON errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Game Maker Studio 2 is running. Here are some of the most common styles.json runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\GameMaker Studio 2\GUI\Skins\Light\Styles\styles.json

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most JSON errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your styles.json file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Game Maker Studio 2), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, styles.json file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Game Maker Studio 2, system crash while loading or saving styles.json, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download styles.json Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying styles.json to your appropriate Windows system directory. YoYo Games typically does not release Game Maker Studio 2 JSON files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing styles.json and all other JSON files for Game Maker Studio 2. An incorrectly installed JSON file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
