SOLVED! RPG Maker VX Ace: Cannot Open/Launch game. Help!
This is what I sent to RPGMaker support and they said they have no idea. Maybe the steam community can help me with this one:

Hello! I cannot launch RPG Maker Vx Ace. When I click it, it says it launches, but then nothing happens. I was able to launch it about 2 months ago, I did not re-install it since then, it was always installed. I do meet all hardware requirements for this game. I am running a gaming desktop with Windows 10 Pro-64 bit, 16GB RAM, 2X Nvidia GTX 660 TI 2GB. 2X 256 SSDs, Core I7 @3.2Gh.

Troubleshooting steps taken:
- Restarting computer
- Re-installing application
- Tried compatibility fixes: run as admin, run in compatibility with windows 7, Check High DPI setting
- Tried going in steam and disabling cloud, going in the beta tab in steam and switch to original(non workshop) version.
- Tried to remove steam overlay
- Tried running virus scans and verified it was not that issue - Made sure that registry values gave system and admin full access in Regedit>hkey current user>software>valve
- Tried a system restore to see if any hardware software issue changed were related to this issue
- Tried running directly from .exe fil located in program files
- tried running sfc /scannow and did a scandisk to verify there were no harddrive errors or integrity errors.
- Tried verifying local game cache
- Tried installing the rfc, or rpc content from your website
- Tried to install it on another laptop and it worked without issue
- Tried copying program files data from working laptop to my desktop computer that isnt working....did not fix
- Tried opening a game I made in rpg maker vx ace, error: RGSS3 Player has stopped working
- Tried running in safemode, no go
- Tried to run virus scans and fix issues, no good
- Tried using CCleaner to clean registry
- Tried to use commands to refresh RGS server settings and they fail out with a unknown command error
- Found a script on the forums that help with this issue, only it is a script that you need to start when in a project but i cannot get there

I found this in the event viewer. I am out of ideas, got any ideas?

Faulting application name: RPGVXAce.exe, version: 1.0.2.2, time stamp: 0x530ffcba Faulting module name: RGSS301.dll, version: 3.0.1.1, time stamp: 0x4f443355 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00082ca7 Faulting process id: 0x303c Faulting application start time: 0x01d207f73cf55d31 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RPGVXAce\RPGVXAce.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RPGVXAce\RGSS301.dll Report Id: c313a153-717f-4984-810e-0ea3b39c7c52 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

Also, this is my response from ♥♥♥♥♥♥ RPG Maker support:

I do not really know what to suggest as its not the RPG Maker that's having the issue, its something to do with your PC with the dual monitors.You will need to check so see if there is an update or something that's not allowing you to run RPG maker, as it works fine on your laptop.

Yes my pc drivers are up to date.

There are 3 errors I have found.

These two errors appear when I Open RPGMaker VX ACE. Remember, When I click it, it looks like it loads, then nothing. no error message. I had to search the event viewer for these errors:

Event viewer error 1 when opening RPG Maker VX ACE: http://imgur.com/EyLzL7T
Event viewer error 2 when opening RPG Maker VX ACE: http://imgur.com/dH7anbU

There is a thrid error that may potentially be related to the fact that I cannot open RPG Maker VX ACE. This error occurs when I try to launch a game I created in rpgmaker. This error appears after launch the game, then a black window appears and shortly error it gives me this message: http://imgur.com/S7c4vst



SOLVED: what I did to fix it.

After the above steps where taken, I then attempted again to start the program in safe mode. This time it worked! I then saw a couple weird startup apps i disabled, one of which was called AMD Dual Core optimiser which was installed on my computer during the anniversary update...?! I dont even have a dual core. I have a six core intel I7. In any event i disabled the application, restarted, and it worked! Thanks for the responses all!
