Argh, my first post here since I've made an account is gonna be a plea for help unfortunately. I just switched to windows 8.1 (from 7), and little did I know about the issues of full screen rpg maker games in this OS. So, basically my fps drops to 20-25 as soon as I go into full screen mode. It's nice and dandy so long as I play in windowed mode, but it's not something I like to do with rpg maker titles. I've looked around, tried a few things and I'm stuck. The best way to fix it would be adding a fake screen script I've found, but even though I can decrypt data files of the game with no issues, I can't seem to figure out how to exactly open them in the rpg maker as a project and then add the script. And I haven't found any guides/tutorials on how to do it. Will be grateful for any help.

Re: RPG maker games on windows 8.1
2. Make a new project, can be empty
3. Go to the folder of that project and copy the Game.rvproj2 file to the game you want to edit
4. Open that file and it will open the editor
As for your FPS issue: RPG maker locks on 30 fps I think. Still, framedrops to 20 is annoying
1. Move/remove the archive (not sure if this is necessary, but you do need to extract it)
2. Make a new project, can be empty

Re: RPG maker games on windows 8.1
Btw. the FPS counter under F2 shows a stable 60fps when I'm in windowed mode. Anyway, thanks a lot again, and I already sent you some rep.
Thanks a lot. I was creating rvproj2 file using rpg decrypter, but for whatever reason I kept getting an error that rpg maker can't find actors data. Copying the file from any opened project seemed to do the trick however. Also the rpg maker deletes archive on it's own when you open up a project file.

Re: RPG maker games on windows 8.1
I have same issue with RPG Maker games. Is why i use the Fullscreen Script.
Note: This Script only works for VX and Ace RPG Maker Engine.
Simple to install really. Open the Script Editor with F11, Above Main make a new script by pressing Insert or right click and click on Insert, type something in the name box like Fullscreen, Copy Paste the Script on the right side.
Use F5 for Fullscreen and F6 to Change Window Size.
Try it, might solve your FPS issue. Did solve mine least. Went from 30FPS to 60FPS.
Here is a video for how to install a Script if your still unsure how to install scripts.:

Re: RPG maker games on windows 8.1
Aye, that's the exact same script I've found, I just had issues with oppening finished games as projects to add the script. Anyway it's solved now and indeed, it solved the fps issue.
