Can't play certain RPGM games

[LoneWolf999]

Hello guys,
for some time i haven't been able to play certain RPGM games. I know there are different RPGM versions, the games with the red dragon icon works well enough, but the ones which have icon of a house (eg. ICSTOR's Milf villa), i can't seem to make it work. Every time i try to run the game the game window opens and instead of the game it shows me a list of files and folders of the drive where the game is located. I dont understand what the problem is. Can anyone help me with this?

Make sure you have the appropriate RTP installed for whichever version of RPGM you're trying to play.

So the games i've been having problems are RPG Maker MV and in the link that you've posted it says there no need for any download. What do i do now?

There are several RTPs for RPG Maker, found here:

You must be registered to see the links

. MV works a little differently in that all the resources for it are always within the game itself; hence, it does not have its own RTP.

It might be that your directory path is too deep or too long. Trying moving it to a higher level or a shorter pathway. (Sometimes these things aren't happy if its not on C or D drive either.) Check your anti-virus program(s) to see if it's not quarantining or deleting files straight up. You might also have just snagged a file or two that went sideways during your download of the game. Try a fresh download if changing the pathway doesn't work.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, you *are* extracting the game somewhere and not attempting to play the game from within the compressed DL file, yes? If not, then extract the download.

Thanks to your advice i found out the problem. The game seems to work if i place them in root drive directly, i.e C:,D: etc. but if i place it in a folder i.e C:/folder it starts acting like the way i mentioned before. Really strange bug, but atleast now i can play the games. Thanks a lot

If games work on the root, but not in /user folders you might have characters in your windows username " / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < > that are not allowed. these can cause other problems besides games.

there was a - in my account name, not sure if that also causes trouble. Nonetheless i've changed the name so that there are no characters except alphabets. Thanks a lot!
