Re: Frequently Asked Questions and Problems (Tech Questions Go Here!)
Can anybody that possesses a Lenovo laptop or desktop educate me on a problem with RPGmaker games? This is a problem that has plagued me for as long as I've played RPGmaker games, and is evenly distributed across all versions of RPGmaker.
This problem is what I call the freeze of death:
the symptoms are that the game window cannot be dragged, the upper right hand buttons are unresponsive, and the only way to get rid of application is by killing it in task manager
- Certain games, upon resizing at launch of the application, immediately freeze and jump to the the freeze of death
- Upon arriving at certain points in a game or triggering certain sequences in a battles, the game grants me the freeze of death
I've heard of no symptoms similar to mine on the internet; all other problems that people have with RPGmaker games involve the application being kind enough to actually give a pop-up that may or may not explain the problem to the user. I have nothing of the sort. I've reinstalled my RTPs about 7 times, and nothing different changes; the games all freeze in the same places and points of play or, if they never opened in the first place, suffer a horrible death like usual. The only thing I can conclude is that it's a problem with my laptop.
[It's a Lenovo E520 with Windows 7, i5 and various other specs available on request if it's really necessary for diagnosing what's going on.]
