Closing your browser while playing helps. Not holding the text skip button for extended periods of time also helps. But besides that it is performance-related. Your graphics card is simply not good enough to handle RPG maker MV's bad coding.

Cancer Giver The freezing is related to RPG Maker MV's outdated Javascript node. As soon as you update it to a newer version the performance will increase.

You can download a newer version from here:

Simply replace the files in your game with the downloaded files and start the game.

Good luck.

That is true, my laptop is an ancient 5500 Intel HD Family with core i5, probably that's why

i5 with Intel HD 4600 here and RPG Maker MV and MZ games run flawless. But, I also have to mention that I use Linux and not bloated Windows.

I have a question, both Sex Valley and Daily Live in Country Life is using different RPGMaker. So after I replaced the file, it won't open up, can you help me out?

Download a newer version of nw.js (eg. v0.54 or an older one) and extract the files into a new folder (right windows). On the left side you have the original game files (in this example I downloaded the compressed version). Compare the engine files with the game files and copy the game assets files and paste them into the engine files. Here you have to paste the "www" and "package.json" files (see marked files on the left) into the newer version of nw.js (right window). That's all.

The same you will have to do for the other game. Create a copy of your engine folder (right folder) and paste the other game's "www" and "package.json" files into it. Done.

Sometimes you have do use an older version of nw.js, because the newer ones are buggy. You can get all previous versions from here . Start from v0.52 and then go to the next higher version (v0.52.1/2 or v0.53).
