Most fangames don't start.

No change, even while on Japanese applocale. This is especially strange because my 10 year old laptop can run fangames fine without downloading any tools or prerequisites, but this desktop can't.
EDIT:
The issue appears to be some sort of hardware incompatibility, since far weaker computers can play but this one cannot, even when both machines are on a fresh install of the operating system.
My hardware is as follows:
CPU: Intel i7 3770k OC @ 4.5GHz
GPU: AMD R9 390 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX @ 1833MHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
It might just be a peripheral but I haven't a clue which one. I might have to test those as well.
EDIT 2: It appears Gamemaker is just being Gamemaker. However, by running a Virtual Machine with hardware acceleration enabled I can play fangames which don't work on my host machine, so at least I have that as a bandaid fix since nothing seems to work for native support on the host.

You could try reinstalling/updating your grpahics and audio drivers? Sound sometimes seems to cause problems in fangames and video has to be worth trying as well.

Updated both, no change.

damn.one more idea, try installing a much older video driver for your card, just a hunch sorry if it doesn't help...

Unfortunately most older drivers aren't compatible with this card it seems. Guess a virtual machine will have to do.
