Patch this, or use DynRPG to run in auto-patch. So what to do? When I found in windowed mode rather than fullscreen, it didn't seem to want to kill the screen, and in fact was able to run. They say you can write essay today and use Direct2D but there doesn't seem to be an understandable way of just downloading and it sounded like some of the stuff had issues. From research, I found that Windows 8 discontinued DirectDraw without offering a real replacement (really stupid idea, guys). None of the compatibility settings actually worked. Thanks, RandyĪuthor=RandyBonnette author=bulmabriefs144 As this problem is likely to be increasingly common as time goes on, this is what I found. Could you please resend it via Dropbox? My antivirus is driving me mad - it's been happening with all files recently. Hi, Unfortunately, I cannot open the zip file you mentioned - I get security warning error.

To make things run like before: Windows XP 3, Run as Admin, and if it still seems choppy, run in 8-bit color (since it uses 256 color anyway). EDIT: A somewhat long-winded solution so far has been to create a Shortcut to RPG_RT.exe, then right click, select Properties, and on the end of the Target line (where it shows the location of the original RPG_RT.exe for the game) add 'NormalPlay ShowTitle Window' at the end.Īuthor=bulmabriefs144 As this problem is likely to be increasingly common as time goes on, this is what I found. Is there anything I can change with regards to system settings or alternatively, anything I can add to RPG_RT.ini to make the games launch in Windowed mode? Myself and Asalieri (Tellahasa) were looking to do a collab video on RM2k3 games, I thn came across this issue.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, my graphics card is an NVidia GeForce 9500 GT, my resolution is 1768x992 and I'm using a HDMI cable. Some of the games I want to play are 'locked' (I can't open them in RPG Maker 2003) so I can't just launch them in test play mode. If I'm test playing a game (so it comes up in the 640x480 window) then there are no problems, if I try to go from test playing into full screen I get the exact same error. This error only appears when launching finished games and demos that automatically go into full screen mode. Whenever I try to launch an RPG Maker 2003 game I get this error.
