I managed to solve this problem this way
Select the game, click on the icon and hold for about 3 seconds, then select “edit” and change the type from "RPG maker mv" to "RPG maker mz", save it and now you can try to play the game
Anybody else have an issue where the game is just so slow. It's running at a snail pace. When i pressed f2 its showing me that the game is running at 20fps. Anybody know a fix?
