Does anyone know why this occurs or have a fix for it? I running a win11, 5800X3D, 3090TI, 32G Ram. Every other rpgmaker game works, and I play a lot of them, this is the only issue I have.. this one game. The title screen backround flashes for a split second(the title does have animation in it from what I found out) then goes to black. Everything else works fine, music, movement etc.. Until I get the the first cutscene of the game, which is animated as well, flash for a split second again and goes black.

Ive already downloaded codec packs on this cpu and I do have the VP9 format. But it has to be some kind of video format/codec issue right?

So i stumbled on potentially great site for rpgm stuff:



Hover your mouse cursor over the 'development' button at the top of the page for more stuff.
Thought i'd drop it somewhere here just in case, perhaps someone may find it useful. :whistle::coffee:

Oh, my problem got solved. For some reason the image was saved into the image.html and I just deleted the lines pertaining to the icon and it was resolved. Everything is fixed now, no more monkey icon.
Hey I know this was a long time ago but could you tell me how to get to the Image.html? I have the same problem with an icon and I have no idea how to get rid of it

As it said, you must install RPG Maker VX RTP, isn't that simple?
RPG Maker VX RTP and RPG Maker VX is two different things.

i dont get it how it works but i already hate all people who create games on this engine
Trying run the game...error RGSS202E.dll could not be found
downloaded RPGVX
Installed
Run...continue(im not a idiot to but some ugly shit just to play one ugly porn game)
Error...RPG Maker VX PTP is not installed
downloaded RPGVXAce
launch rpgvx again...still rpg maker vx ptp is not installed

????
Old RPG Maker systems were split into the Runtime Package RTP and the actual engine.
This allowed developers do ship the game via a smaller archive and the enduser could instead download the RTP package seperately - and have this used in multiple games. Faster downloads, less download size, less storage space required on the HDD.

While new RPG Maker systems no longer use this, this means that you'll have to match whatever game your RPG maker game is built on with the RTP which contains the assets (sprites, face images, etc.).

You can download the relevant runtime packages from here:

1. Select the correct Program (VX Ace, VX, XP etc.)
2. Download the runtime package
3. Install it

If this still does not solve your issue, please check .
If the RGSS202E.dll is not present in the original game at all, and is not part of the runtime library, you can also fix the issue by directly adding the relevant dll to your game: .

Hey everyone,
Well I got this issue with couple rpg maker mv games, some of them are working fine (as long as I open them with admin privileges), others just stopped working correctly or did not worked from the start.
After run the .exe of those games I got this kind of window (see attached).
No idea what is causing this. Even if I try to open game normally, or via lang locale emulator or with admin privileges it gives me this window. It is weird considering other games using the same engine/ .exe file are working fine. Some even worked fine but then just stopped xd
Much appreciate your help.

Can you link example games that have this issue?

What's your OS platform?

The attached image does not show an error, just a folder structure. Can you provide an image of the error message when it appears?

RPG Maker MV Game != RPG Maker MV Game.
There can be big differences in how they work, depending on what custom plugins they're running and what code iteration they're using, compared to the NWJS that's installed on your HDD. (e.g. using very recent, experimental js keywords & functions that aren't supported in older versions of nwjs's browser).

Well, actually I have those broken:
RJ223206
RJ282703
RJ202893

Two of them worked fine in the beginning and suddenly just stopped.
Beside that window with this folder structure, there is no error message, so I cannot give you any. I click on .exe icon of those "broken" games (see attach) and that window pops up, for every of them. Other games with the same "game icon/ .exe" are working fine when I open them with admin privileges.
My OS is windows 10 pro
Well the thing is I am clueless on why they stopped working in the first place and I do not know if the other games with time will get broken the same way.

The games in questions have custom mods and there are different versions of them available. Are you using any mods (preinstalled or installed by yourself) and can you specify the versions for any or all of those games for me, so I know which one to take a look at?

EDIT: Your cpu & Ram would also be interesting to know, as well as the default ram usage you have. This usually shouldn't be an issue, but on older pcs, especially if other browser windows are open, and with RPGM loading a lot of high quality images, the RAM can be exceeded which would cause the game to crash. Ruling that out would be helpful.

Nope, no mods installed. At least not to my knowledge.

RJ223206 - ver.1.04
RJ282703 - ver.1.04
RJ202893 - ver.1.71

Cpu Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram, I do not think that the issue will be with my specs as those games worked fine in the past. The same version, the same specs and all.
I remember I copied them on the external driver once but also after that, they worked ok (being on that external). And one day they do not. Even after I copied them back on my main disk, they not fix themselves.

Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to reproduce the error. I tested RJ223206 - ver.1.04, japanese version, but both with Locale Emulator as well as normal start I get into the game without issue & can play it.
Without a reliable way to reproduce the error, I can't really figure out what's happening.

The only thing I can think of that might help out is if your nwjs local data is corrupted/damaged, that you reset this.

You can do so by going using the run command:

1.
- %LOCALAPPDATA%/
or going to
-users/*your user name*/Appdata/Local

2.
Enter the folder "KADOKAWA\RPGMV\User Data\Default" if it exists.
Otherwise check the main folder "KADOKAWA\RPGMV\"

3. Remove (transfer elsewhere or delete/archive) the Web Data and the Web Data-journal files.
Doing so will cause them to be updated the next time you launch the app.
If this does not fix the problem but creates further problems, restore the previous files.

I'm wondering does anyone a clean to extract text from RPGM XP? Textractor such, it works but a lot of things are spammed repeatedly.

Hello!
Big RPGM problem. I used to play many RPGM games without problems, even then I had the RPG maker XP that I bought on steam. All RPGM games ran flawlessly on my laptop without even downloading the Run Time Package!
I haven't played any of these games in months and now NONE of them start. I use Windows 10, yes it updates itself regularly, I have an old i5 system on the laptop but the hard drive was replaced with a 3 TB ssd hard drive, this happened before and all the RPGM games still ran on the machine, so the replacement is not the problem .
This happens; when I start the game (no matter which one I tried all the variations) the window pops up a black window and then it jumps out of the game, sometimes you still hear the opening music for a moment but that's it.
All RTPs are installed. What could be the problem??
Thank you in advance for your answer.

EDIT.: Sorry I forgot to say, Karryn's Prison is still running without problems. Games whose icon is a compass and are named "nw" run without problems.

EDIT.: I just looked again, it's interesting that Noxian Nights from Hreinn Games doesn't start, but Kingdom of Deception does.
I tried the games again, it seems that now only the RPGM games with the Dragon icon don't work.
