It's good to know the old www folder worked. I've made a full new download you can try to see if it fixes things. I've changed the file name for the title image again just in case, and it has the new plugins disabled again, as patching plugin changes can be weird sometimes. If that doesn't work, I did also add quite a few new audio files to the game, so it's possible there's some sort of naming issues there. (I would expect that to cause an issue when the audio comes up, rather than on launch, but it's still possible.) So to test that, you could delete the audio folder from the new version inside of the www folder and copy over the old audio folder from 0.58 to see if that fixes things. (If it does, let me know and I'll go double check all the new files and see if there's any obvious naming issues. You'll probably encounter a bug when playing with the old audio if you get somewhere that calls the new audio.)

If neither of those work, my last idea is the fact that I accidentally uploaded version 0.58.4_Linux as a zip rather than a tar file. I would expect that to cause issues, not fix them, but I could try uploading a zip of the newest Linux version if everything else doesn't work.

Unfortunately the download and audio replacement didn't work so I ended up looking through the www folders for the differences between versions (excluding game content like maps or characters) and came across this

+ _.isNewNWjs =
+ process.versions["node-webkit"] >= "0.13.0" &&
+ Utils.RPGMAKER_VERSION >= "1.6.0";



The windows version doesn't use nwjs (node-webkit) so I tried reverting those lines with '+' to the line with '-' and the game was able to run! I then reverted the changes, then replaced the string "0.13.0" with "0.115.0" (the nwjs version I replaced the game with) and that ran too. It seems the problem was a string comparison instead of a number comparison because 115 > 13, but "13" > "115".

This buggy version comparison code is present throughout the file and I wouldn't be surprised if there will be future comments coming from buggy version checks. The older version of this code will break with nwjs of v1.0.0 so the plugin developer should use a proper version comparison library because it's a non-trivial piece of code to write

I'm able to play the game now. Thank you for taking the time to investigate!

Thank you for finding all of that. It looks like that plugin got reverted from changes made in 0.58. There were issues popping up for Linux users with 0.58 initially, and that change you mention to the plugin fixed it. I must have forgotten to apply that to version 0.59, because I was working on that while I fixed 0.58, so I didn't copy the plugin over after it had been fixed. I've got it set up so it should be good to go from now on, and added patch 0.59.7_Linux to the main download folder that should also fix that. Thanks again, it would have taken me forever to notice that was the cause of the issue.
