   Hi there. My name is Alex, and recently I've started to become more interested to RPGMAKER games from the past (such as Yume Nikki, OFF, and many others) to go through the experiences every gamer cherises with a decent game. Unfortunately, while trying to launch Yume Nikki, for example, I would always get a window exclaiming that the DDERR is unsupported. I will provide a link to the gyazo that clearly shows this problem.

At first, I've been looking all over the web in order to fix my problem; there were many clever ways into fixing this problem for others, however it was oddly different for me. I am a Windows 10 user, just got a decent Lenovo computer, and I've never had such a problem with these cherisable games. It cannot be applocale because that would also have to apply to OFF, which has been translated into American culure, thereby overriding the possibility of applocale being the problem.

I haven't done anything from the last time I've played RPGMAKER games (when I had Windows 7/8). The weirdest part to this is that my friend also has Windows 10, yet runs the program with no problematic encounter. I've downloaded programs that claimed to minimize the window size in order to fix this (because people somehow thought that changing the window size would do something), though for them it may work, it doesn't work for me. I appreciate all forms of help, and I will reply as quickly as I can to you. ^^ Sayonara.

You'd need to list the game for anyone to test it. Though the immediate question is that the error message you are seeing is a "I don't know what I'm doing" error. eg the underlying driver doesn't support something it says it supported earlier in the initialization. This probably should only be happening on dual-GPU systems (eg crossfire/SLI)

Try to change RPG_RT.exe to compatibility mode with Windows 7. This worked with me.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
