Assuming Arch is putting things in the same place, you can find your ui.log in
~/.local/share/GameMakerStudio2-Beta/ui.log
Additionally, you might find a crash dump in
~/.local/share/GameMakerDumps
which would be useful to have as well.

You may also get additional information if you start GameMaker from the terminal directly.
Though I'm not entirely sure what or how you installed it, on Ubuntu using the official deb installation, it installs to /opt/GameMaker-Beta and you can run the GameMaker script there to start it.
It may give more insight into why it cannot start up, should you be using a shortcut to start it.

Uh I forgot to update this, Installing the gamemaker installer that's on the AUR completely fixed the problem

It's not just Arch, I have found out that a couple other people have been experiencing similar issues. Including Ubuntu VM and Ubuntu full installs. (And earlier today me, though I had reinstalled the IDE + reinstalled ffmpeg via the recent changes, so that could be a factor.)
I have checked those directories but since the files are seemingly overwritten on even successful runs, I don't think I can provide much info.
I'll see if I can get others to report the above files. 👌
