RPGM Completed Ruled by Rule [v1.2.4] [KineticDog]

[James The Mighty]

well fuck me sideways I didn't even know about this game until now, let's go!
shame it apparently runs like garbage.

 

[Cakeey]

Any game runs fine with that type of specifications lol

Many of them barely have 8gb or below RAM here and some don't even have graphics card.
Btw the requirements for this game is high when compared to other RPGM games

You have a point

Not sure what could be causing it, game is nice though

At least i haven't encountered any error in my playthrough

2) Lower game resolution from 1920*1080 to 1536*864.
3) Lower all image assets resolution and quality to increase performance.
4) Add back a small light source and enemy breath effect due to performance up.

This tells us the dev himself either:
Doesnt know what's causing the performance issues
or
Knows whats causing the conflict but doesnt want to remove it for some reason, like conflicting plugins.
decresing resolution and image quality will do little to nothing as ITS JUST STATIC STANDING CGS this is not red dead redemption or skyrim where you lower your settings for a perfomance boost.
Whats going on??? Will this be the first RPGM game to make use of DLSS?

Once you get the taunting acc for Yun you cannot lose lmao

Faceless loser literally stuck in the shed, amazing.
Game needed more monsters and less humans for my taste.

Considering the OG trial release runs with minimal bugs and lacks these performance issues, but has the full game locked behind one switch check, it is kinda bizarre all of these issues are in the actual release versions.
Edit: And unfortunately all the pirate sites updated to latest, broken version. -.-

 

[Wowadoo]

Does anyone actually have the Initial Release Trial Version? Not the current trial version but the one with the initial release?

 

[yurilover8]

any gallery full save?

Wait, really? The current trial version has these issues, but then wtf did he do to "introduce" these slowdowns?

Unironically download the demo version, run it with Mtool, and uncheck the Trial switch. The Demo has a full version of the game with trial switch on, the purchase version has 100% same content with trial switch defaulted to off state. The demo versions runs better than purchase version, no idea why.

Thanks for the reply,i sued this tool in the past,but only to translate stuff,however, at the switch tab,the trial is already unticked,i used the demo version,so i still need to check something,or it's "unlocked itself" and good to go?

It doesn't specify it clearly enough for my monkey brain. Lastly,i will always need to run this tool,if i want the full version unlocked,or just once.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

The checked means it's trial version, locking you out of content, unchecked means no lock on content (going past 1st room and using order.) That's how it was on release, not sure if anything changed with 1.05 and after.

I see,thanks. It is just funny,because if its truly how it is,the demo is unlocked by default.

Wow, talk about a good game held back by bad coding, anyway I think this thread's OP should honestly include either a direct link to the trial version, or just some text giving players the run down on why they should download the trial version, and a link to M-tool for those who don't have it yet.

 

[Wowadoo]

Well good news/bad news?

I tried to download the Initial Trial Version, with which I thought was the right link, from the when the game was initially released. (The Initial Trial version should have around 676 size with 2-3 MB deviation)

However, it seems that it downloaded the trial version for the recent version, 1.10. If you're wondering, the current games version is 1.10, trial and full, but it seems that the locale for English and Traditional Chinese hasn't updated the game download link.

The Games size now seems to be 359 MB Without Extraction, and 599 MB After Extraction. A significant decrease in game size from the previous version,
around a 200-300 MB decrease in size.

That said, the game now actually Runs Pretty well, around 6 times faster then before . Although there is still some lag, it's fully playable now from what I saw playing it so far.

But, Looking at the game files, comparing it to the previous versions, it's clearly more refined, with unnecessary things like payload or ChromeDriver, and even some other folders which aren't there now. In fact, if you go to Local Appdata, Ruled by Rule is now also a folder there. With this I'm almost 90% sure even if it wasn't actually fully optimized, dudes been trolling us to some degree or something.

Basically, game is way more playable now, go ahead and download the recent version, no viruses or nada.

It's still beyond slow for me, i can now see some of the cut-ins during a fight but it's still way too bogged down for an RPGM game, i should be getting 60/50 fps, not 10.

 

[James The Mighty]

i don't see any bad news? this is just great news all round, except maybe the " dudes been trolling us" part

 

[bilboswaggings]

The bad news is that even though its an update to increase perfomance, the game is still very much laggy.
Tbh no matter how much he downgrades the quality on t he images or lowers resolution, there is something in the way that the game was made that is eating up a crap ton of ram and GPU usage, there must be some ongoing loop or some variable that is updating thousands of times per second or something. This is not normal.

 

[HikkiG]

That's probably good news, honestly I've not had slow-down issues personally in any version posted so far when running it: but noticed 1.05 had issues where post-loss battles would freeze during battle (if RPGM is not restarted) and ctrl no longer fast skipped through animation. Going to wait till 18th or after for his so-called major performance update, hopefully it'll be straightened out by then. Edit: Alright, found full version 8/8 that works for me without any issue. Just sticking with it unless 18th does something really different.

Yeah, It's definitely still laggy for others too, but at least for me it's less laggier, about 50-60% less then before in the least. I'd say wait until the 18th where he actually fully optimizes the game, don't get hopes up too much though.
