I can't play this game AT ALL.
I may be using a decade old not-gaming laptop running Windows 7, and depending on certain factors, RPG Maker may not always play particularly smoothly, but this is the first time I've encountered an issue like this.
Upon booting up the game, the window takes up almost the whole screen (I dunno if intentional or not, but I felt it was worth pointing out because I find it uncommon with RPGM games), and I get this rotating loading circle for like two-three minutes (along with intermittent "not responding" moments), then I get an error image in the top left corner.
I hear audio, and evidently, I can select icons and transition scenes going by the sound, but I can see no visuals whatsoever. It just stays on that black screen with the error icon.
Worse, my entire PC suffers MASSIVE slowdown. It was a huge chore trying to use the snipping tool to capture the only two images the game shows me, and another chore to summon the task manager to finally close the game window because it (of course) stopped responding.
I never changed anything in my settings (not that I know how), and pretty much every other game I've tried on this site, RPGM or no, runs at least well enough to, well, run, but I've never had one make my old PC shit the bed this hard before.
I downloaded the game twice, and I got the same result both times.
