For anyone having any issue with the Windows version of the game
Either there's a start-up issue or a stuttering/slowness issue, the alternative build (running on a different engine) should help:

- Click on Close.

Steam should start downloading an update for the game. After the update is downloaded, start the game and please let us know how it works for you.

The only thing is that achievement hasn't been integrated with this version yet, so you might need to use the default version to reload the last auto-save and rerunning the ending for that. Eventually, we hope to get the achievement implemented for that and make it the default build instead. c:

Many thanks to Ancurio for the awesome engine [MKXP], and Eli for helping with porting the game with it! Also thanks to Desmight for reporting with the original thread about the issue that might affect certain computers.

This option does not show for me. It shows: NONE - Opt out of all beta programs

I got it by typing alternative in the box below the dropdown and trying again. Might not be the solution but worked for me
The alternative version works well for me. The other version acts weird.

Alright, that was why the achievement wasn't unlocked even if I tried twice for the ending.

Anyway, good work! I'll use the non-beta version to unlock it, hope the save works.

The alternative version fixed the low framerate issues for me, but seem to have broken the print screen button; all screenshots taken in-game now only show the windows desktop. (playing in full screen, win10)

I am playing by Korean. When I do this solution, the language is broken.

Unfortunately the alternative build isn't ready to use for Korean yet, sorry for the inconvenience.

Are there another solution for 'RGSS player stopped working'?
Ali  [developer] Jan 21, 2018 @ 8:22am 
Please quit Steam and start it again, if your game is set to the alternative build, it should download a small update, and now the Korean text should appear for the alternative build too.

Common causes for 'RGSS player stopped working' is having an antivirus software blocking the game files, or having special characters or non-Latin characters in your username, for the username issue there is a Troubleshooting Kit with the main build of the game that may fix it for you.

It's fixed! Thank you.

Glad to hear it works for you now :)

omg thanks, i've had stuttering and slowness problems since to the moon and i didnt even know there was an alternative D: if i had known sooner... to the moon wouldnt have been such a slow (hella slow) experience for me D: hoping to see achievements integrated on the alternatives too! ^^
Is there any way to get a precious achievement while the main build simply does not start up on my PC? D:

Depending on the error you get while starting the main build, workarounds exist, like adding the game folder to your AV software’s whitelist, adding the game to DEP exceptions list, etc.
Can you please tell me what error you get with the main build?

When I launch game, screen resolutions changes to the lowest possible (I think, 640*480 or 800*600) and a "RGSS has stopped working" window appears. I have no choice but to close the game.
Windows Logs give me following details:
- broken module: RGSS104E.dll_unloaded
- exception code: 0xc0000005
No AV software installed. DEP is on a default setting, "Windows only".
