nwjs crashing?

[Jglag]

Hi there,

I recently got a new computer, and now in certain rooms, the game crashes, citing process "nwjs [18078]" as the reason. It's completely halted any process I can make on my project. Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you by any change install MZ as well? Or games made in MZ? It is possible you have a more recent version of nwjs than your games uses.

If this indeed is the problem, you uninstall nwjs from your computer. The next time you run your game, it should automatically install nwjs at the version needed for your game.

I think I had the same issue once, but I am not sure. For me uninstalling NWJS fixed the problem, though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using RPG Maker MV. Your'e saying it's safe to remove nwjs from my computer? I'll be honest--I don't even really know what nwjs is.

nwjs, it is the framework in which your game is shown.
It is much like a player for your games. (That is not what it is, but that is how it is used by RPG maker)

Removing it is safe, it will just re-install as soon as you try to run your game. If not, then re-installing MV should fix it too... But I am pretty sure that isn't nessecary.

Thanks for the help. Customer support got back to me and told me that new Mac operating systems can no longer run RPG Maker MV, despite the fact that the program says it has Mac support when purchasing. I hope others find this as absurd as I do. Quite disappointed to say the least.

Wait... Does that mean macs can't play MV games anymore?

only macs running sig sur or higher. all macs running anything lower than big sur should be fine

Oh, still means players with one of those computers won't be able to run the games.
But then again... Who games on apple? No-one games on apple! :p

Yes, modern Macs won't be able to run RPG Maker MV, and they have no plans to fix this.

As for "gaming" on Macs, game creation is really a different category from gaming and many people do content creation and game development on Mac. It's a big loss, and one I wasn't informed about when purchasing my new laptop.

Is it the games made with MV that do not run on it, or does MV itself not run?

Because... I think it should not be that hard (for someone who knows about that stuff, which is not me) to build an emulater to run the games. It is just javascript after all.

But if it is the software that doesn't run, that would be a totally different story.

Edit: Oh nevermind. You already said it was NWJS that doesn't run, so indeed it is the games, not the software, right?
