Hi! Everything worked fine, until when I open any game it throws me a blank screen, it is not the game since when I open any mz project the same thing happens to me.
I have a notebook with Windows 10, 64bits, it had not had any modification, or any update.
I tried going into "safe mode", and neither did.
I have reinstalled the program twice and the same thing happens.
I really need help.
I already sent email to support.
Has it happened to them?

If the editor shows a white screen, then it's most likely that the currently installed display driver does not support OpenGL, and you need to reinstall the display driver.

However there is a small distinction (which is often also the reason this happens): A lot of the display cards have drivers from both Microsoft and from the chip manufacturer. And it's the Microsoft drivers that cause the problem.
Microsoft drivers often have no or incomplete OpenGL support, because OpenGL is competition to DirectX - you need the manufacturer drivers for full OGL support. And the Windows-Updates prefer the Microsoft drivers, so the automatic updates can't help you.

You need to check which manufacturer build your display chip and go to its website, download the driver setup from there and run it to get that driver installed. Then restart your computer and check again.

Dear Friend! Thanks for worrying and writing, the answer is very interesting ...
I tell you that due to a problem unrelated to RPG Maker I had to reinstall Windows and now it works great.
I will consider your answer.
Thanks again.

reinstalling windows automatically deletes and reinstalls all drivers, so there is a good chance that my answer was correct - OR that your Windows itself was so defective that it couldn't handle that and other programs at all

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
