I have a laptop connected to a mobile hotspot and another device also connected to the hotspot, In classic when I click broadcast both players load the app no problem but in Studio only the secondary device receives the app and the hotspot device sits idle.......

I have set the gateway IP in settings so its not that, is anyone else able to get Studio to send an app to a hotspot device???

1) I setup my phone as a hotspot.
2) I connected my tablet and (Windows) PC to that network
3) I broadcast from my PC and the app ran on both devices

Maybe make sure the devices have the latest AppGameKit player

I really do try and give Studio a chance but the more I use it the more it frustrates me, broadcast not fully functional the script editor is clumsily and wait what, no text align.... what is the point of a visual editor if we have to code the fine tuning of fundamentals like text align!!!

This IDE is not fit for purpose, if I produced shoddy work like this in my trade I'd get sued, I don't code for profit I code for fun and using Studio is far from fun and I know I am not alone in thinking this, TGC please take a week off Max and sort out this abomination.

I have tried with both the app store player and the bundled player in the install dir, no joy, I dont understand why because Classic runs them both, I think at this point I am overly frustrated with it so down tools and try again tomorrow.

Thanks for taking the time to test it out.
