Launch Problems

[Riktor]

Anyone else having issues launching the game? Mine says running for a second but then doesn't. I've tried changing the launch options to fullscreen/windowed etc, verifying files and also running as adminstrator but no dice :(

[Mr. Blue]

Same here. My best guess is that we need to download a specific RPG Maker RTP to get it going, but frankly I've no idea which one it is, or if that even is the source of the problem.

[White Shadow]

Hiya guys. It's not likely due to RTP files, since those were included in the download. However, if you still wanted to check, it's the MV version of RM the game was made in.

Did any error messages come up? Does this happen after a computer restart too?
What operating system are you using?

[Mr. Blue]

Hey, man. To answer your questions:

A) No error messages. When I start it in the library tab of Steam, it literally says "Running" for a second before closing itself down.

B) Tried closing Steam via Task Manager and rebooting it, didn't work. Then restarted the computer itself, still no dice.

C) My current OS is Windows 10, if that helps.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick, btw.

This is in the debug.log if you can make sense of it :P.

Also on WIndows 10.

Ok, let's try this. When you go into the game's folder, if you go to the 'www' folder and try to run the file called 'index' in a browser, does that work or does it give an error too?

[Riktor]

Yeah that works.
I'm using Firefox as a browser if that possibly has anything to do with it.

[White Shadow]

Glad that works. Yeah, Firefox should be able to run MV games no problem. I think Internet Explorer might give problems though (though not 100% sure). Let me know if there are any other problems.
Perhaps I'll also wait to see if this works for Rando as well.

[White Shadow]

I'm also wondering if playing through the browser will activate the achievements or not. I might try it out for myself and see.

[Riktor]

Cheers, although I would like to have the ability to play through Steam :P. It's not logging game time on Steam or saying that I'm playing it right now so I think I don't think achievements will work :(

[White Shadow]

Yeah, good point.

By the way, have you tried running it after launching Steam itself as administrator?

[Riktor]

Just tried now but no luck :(

[White Shadow]

Does your PC have an OpenGL 2.0 by any chance? I know that games made with RM MV require that to be able to run.

Here is a website with some info on what it is and a download in case if you don't have it: https://opengl.en.softonic.com/download

[Riktor]

Yeah I have the most recent version. I think it came with my graphics card driver update. Version 4.6. I think we need Hank to get on the case haha.

Cheers for the help so far though man.

[White Shadow]

Ah I see. Yeah, I hope we can entrust Hank to take this job seriously. Hehe.
Really strange though. I'll need to see what else might be causing it.

[Mr. Blue]

Hey, just finished work, hence the delayed response. Read your new posts and tried running the index file in both IE and Chrome, didn't work. Error message was as follows when I tried running it with Chrome (IE just told me the browser wasn't equipped to read local files):

Error:
Failed to load: data/Actors.json

Pretty sure my drivers are up to date, too. Got plenty of MV-based games already that run just fine.

Edit: Just tried running Steam as an admin, too. Nothing :(
