Project does not test play, nor play from game.exe, shows up in processes

[Tsaiuki North]

Playtest plays the game from the original folder you created for the project, and it's played with game.exe, not the web browser.


As an alternative (BE CAREFUL) you can download node-webkit http://nwjs.io/ for your platform and overwrite your RPG Maker MV\nwjs-win\ files, rename nw.exe to game.exe and that should replace the supplied build with the current version of chromium game engine. BUT... this won't really fix any problems caused by Chromium if the problem is Chromium. For all intents nwjs-win + your game project directory = Windows deployment.


When you do a Battle Test (from database-troops) it runs that from within the editor's version of Chromium, not GAME.exe

So basically what you're saying here sounds like it has nothing to do with the web browser at all... Then why can't i playtest, nor run the game.exe? If it doesn't have anything to do with the browser, and should run the game.exe on it's own, then i'm back to square one.

If running "game.exe" from the Windows Deployment doesn't work, then neither will playtest.

As for why, is something specific to your computer. Does it crash? Does nothing appear? Does anything appear in the debug.log?

(you can ignore "[1023/121422:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(286)] locale_file_path.empty()")

That is literally all that shows up in the file. there is nothing else there.

ok so after spending two hours with a computer techy friend using teamviewer (who has never used rpgmaker), he tried to help me with this issue and we couldn't get it resolved. the closest we got was finding the "chrome_debug.log", which is as follows:


[7912:8116:18497974:ERROR:gl_implementation.cc(91)] Could not initialize GL.


[7912:8116:18497974:ERROR:gl_surface_win.cc(60)] InitializeRequestedGLBindings failed.

still don't know if this is going to help resolve the issue or not, or even if this is the same issue, but it's the only thing we could find anywhere at all... It is not a problem with the app, it is a problem with my computer. i sent him my project and he could open it just fine as expected. I can still drag and drop the html to firefox and the game launches in firefox by doing that, so i have a way to work around the testplay and game.exe not working, but it would be super convenient if i could figure this out, and it also prevents me from playing the game.exe without the use of a web browser..

Your computer doesn't have appropriate graphics drivers installed.

Your computer doesn't have appropriate graphics drivers installed.

We already looked at all that though, and I do. GL is active and works in my browser. My video drivers are up to date. So something else is going on. If someone can tell me exactly what drivers i need, then that would be helpful, as maybe there's something else that was missed. But it's not my graphics card driver, that is for sure.

The error message however is specifically saying it can not start OpenGL. So chances are the web browser isn't using it either.

Grab the glcapsviewer from this page , run the "OpenGL ES 2 context" and see what it says.

What am i looking for specifically? My gcard isn't listed in the database, so what does that mean?

That is weird, The driver version is consistent with AMD Catalyst 15.7.1 on a HD 7700 (eg 7750 or 7770) card. Have you tried installing the latest beta driver? Or reinstalling the driver from the website itself? It seems like the OpenGL driver is somehow broken or something else on your system is hijacking the GPU.

I could just kiss you right now... I don't know why something so simple slipped through, but for some silly reason it never occurred to me that maybe reinstalling my graphics driver would fix this problem. I already know GL is related to the graphics card, as i run games that use open GL. Why it wasn't working for this specifically i don't know, but that's not the point. I reinstalled it and tried to open the game.exe and it worked! Thankyou!
