RPGMAKER MV Free Trial Not Working

[pbtenchi]

I couldn't get RPGMAKER MV free trial to work. I tried clicking continue in the start menu and it would almost instantaneously say that it had stopped working and ask to debug or close program every try. After about an hour of struggling and looking for answers I attempted to uninstall and reinstall RPGMAKER. So far I have had no success with getting it to work, and decided to make an account and ask on the forums.

If it stops working with such an error message, most likely one of your AntiVirus or antimalware programs falsely detected it as infected and blocked it.

That happens sometimes, because RMMV uses web technology on local access rights - some AntiVirus programs confuse that with a non-local Website infecting the PC without realising that it already has local access.

Just today, on a newly installed computer, Avast quarantined part of the 1.6 beta directly during my steam download...

You need to tell your AntiVirus to ignore this false positive, or contact the AV company to have them update the heuristic search of their engine.

Try blocking your antivirus programs, one at a time, and see which one appears to be blocking it. If disabling a certain one works, that one is the problem. If that doesn't work I have no idea.

When you say that, do you mean this happened in a play test? If you didn't have a save file in the project, it would throw an error.

Try to follow Andar's suggestions regarding antivirus. Also, if you can run MV as an administrator, that might help bypass some underlying issues as well.

Yes, running MV as an admin might do it.
