RPGM VoidBound [v0.6.5] [Cursed-Atelier]

[Lightturus]

Hello again and thank you for the reports!

After extensive investigation and research, we do believe we finally have an answer to the source of this issue, and that is Windows 7.

To add a bit of context, a few weeks ago we started receiving reports that of our Game was being flagged as a virus. On further investigation we found that it was the NW.js that powers our Game Engine which was falsely being detected as Doplik virus by Microsoft's Windows Defender only. Though most definitely a false positive, we still erred on the side of caution and updated the node packages to the latest 0.79 offering. For more info, head over to this post here where we went into great detail over this issue.

This however, had a trade off effect it seems. Though no longer being erroneously flagged as a virus now, the newer node build seems to have stopped supporting Windows 7. With Microsoft pulling the plug on End of Life support in 2020 and STEAM statics showing the OS losing popularity to near sub 1% usage, it seemed inevitable that eventually other program creators would follow suit as well.

In short, NW.js is what powers the entire game, and now that they've dropped Windows 7 support on their 0.72 version, it means we're pretty much pulled us into their decision as well. We have the option of reverting to an older version of NW.js to restore play-ability, but this will also restore the false positive virus flagging as well which will effect EVERYONE who runs Windows Defender, regardless of their OS. Between the two, dropping OS support is our best worse option currently. At least until we find a miracle midway solution.

As such, we sincerely apologize to our fans who are still rocking Windows 7, but moving on out from 0.5.4d, VoidBound will no longer be able to support the OS.

With our sincere regrets,
Cursed-Atelier Team

Thanks for the explanation and no need to feel sorry, with steam pulling the plug on Win7 at the end of the year as well, it was just a matter of time that devs move on. Doesn't make sense to support an OS that is that far beyond it's eol.
It sure is a shame though since i work with both and Win7 is so much easier to work with.

That being said MS still sucks massive ass... Win10 will be our final OS that's being continually uprgaded me ass....

Still the game is enjoyable af, so keep up the good work!

please indicate the system requirements for the current version of the game, it says the entry point to the procedure was not found (DuscardVirtualMemory) not found in the library DLL (at least it gives it away) (Windows 8.1)

I'm sorry, I was stupid and also forgot to write version 5.1 works fine, but 5.2,5.3,5.4 does not work. Is this just a problem for me or someone else?

The change to a Chromium 110+ version of NW.js (0.73+) means that it won't work in Windows 8 or 8.1 either, for what it's worth.

We realize that you mentioned the error language, but could you also screenshot it? Also, would you mind sharing your PC specs? You can DM it to us directly if you like.
Simply hit Windows key > type "dxdiag" > Just screenshot the System and Display 1 tab.

Thank you for pointing that out. We had doubts about issues with 8.1 as well but couldn't find any user with that particular OS who could test and confirm that theory. Huinyaaa's issue does seem to be stemming from the same source, but it's always better to clarify.

Hello again. After doing some research and running queries around, we've come to the regrettable conclusion that you also seem to be affected by the same incompatibility development as Windows 7 users are. Nw.dll error at the end there is a bit of a giveaway as it is linked to the node build updates. Furthermore, after taking your specs into equation as well as the VirtualMemoryDiscarding error log, it leaves almost no doubt that this is a Kernel32 related issue.

We are fairly confident that slowly, but surely legacy OSes like 7/8.1 are losing software support. Unfortunately, not much of a solution we can offer you at this time. With the slow march of time, near 10 year old systems like yours are being left behind and with the high system requirements for latest OSes like Win 11, it just isn't a viable solution to recommend an upgrade.

Sincerest apologies

bad very bad fucking Microsoft has no complaints against you. I can only ask Try to make a game on Unity, try maybe Unity will work out, it seems like it doesn’t require large versions of Windows yet and Unity treats animations more softly than the MV maker

The current version of Unity (2023.1) also requires Windows 10 (64-bit) or 11. Which, if you'd like, you can still upgrade to from Windows 7/8/8.1.

Unity just announced they'll charge devs $0.20 per install after the game they made in Unity passes a threshold (200k revenue and installs for the free version, 1M for the Pro version) from January 1st 2024 onwards

i can't interact with the quest board to start new quest line, any idea ?

Basic requirement check first: Are you positive you have your bounty licence? If so, are you sure you're finished with the Xaide content completely? Both of these are necessary precursors to the new quest.

Can't get this game to open with proton for some reason. Every other RPG Maker game has worked perfectly, any reason you can think of that this one wouldn't?

We modified a lot in terms of how the game loads files and it uses specific call functions that are only available on windows, that sadly aren't modified/adjusted for other platforms yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've done Xaide already, last thing i did for bounty is to collect the flower and bring it back to the barman. Now he's telling me there's no other bounty.
Last thing i did is taking a shower in vas bathroom.
