RPGM Caliross, the Shapeshifter's Legacy [v0.9.22] [mdqp]

[VanillaBiscuit]

Game runs fine for me, but a friend runs into a weird issue. Not sure if anyone has seen this before. Did a quick search for freezes, but nothing popped liked this one.


When they go to the Queen of Hearts, talk to Sanya and stare at the medallion the game freezes. Computer screen goes blank and there is a restart. Memory used seems to go from 42kb to 132kb too.

This happens on different instances, this is just an example. Computer specs are good, they run much more demanding games.

I am attaching a save from just before it happens.

A few questions:

1) Does the problem happen for you, if you use his save?
2) Do you mean the computer itself shuts down and restarts?
3) Could you name a few other instances beyond this one example?
4) What kind of PC is it, laptop or desktop? Which version of Windows is it running?

1) I am not able to use this save right now as I don't have access to my PC.

2)Yes, the computer restarts, not the game.

3)They are quite random, no real connection to the events but will get some more examples.

4) It's a desktop, running Windows 11.


Also game was downloaded from itch. If that matters in some way.

I see. I tried the save, but as I expected nothing wrong happens on my PC (and I expect nothing wrong would happen on your end either). While it's possible that this is a windows 11 issue with RPG Maker VX Ace, that's also unlikely (I would have been flooded with bug reports by now, I am sure).

If your friend has more than one hard-drive (or even better, another PC), I'd recommend trying to copy/paste the game on a different one, to see if that solves the issue. It might be that the hard-drive is failing. There is virtually nothing in the game that should be able to crash a system. VX Ace is a very stable engine, and as much as I have used scripts to expand some functionalities, there is nothing that pushes the game in weird ways.

You probably don't have the RTP installed:

You must be registered to see the links

I assume there are guides around for how to do it in joiplay, although I have never done it myself.

Try downloading the latest public version of joiplay from their patreon along with the rpgm rtp. Also refer all your joiplay related issues to the... Joiplay thread.

You can try the solution I posted in this thread a while back: delete the RTP if you have it, then pick Default when you try starting the game to download the RTP again.
