Help Request: first time attempting to play and the game won't start.

Hi,

I purchased the game, downloaded and unzipped it in the provided folder structure.  When I run the executable, the cursor spins for a little and then it stops.  Nothing happens.


I'm running Windows 10, latest update.  The last RPG Maker game I ran (Ace) had some things I had to download to get it to work.  Is there anything I need for MV?


Thanks.

Developer

Hey!  Thanks for supporting!  You don't need anything extra for MV, my only guess is that you have an antivirus/windows defender-like program that's just automatically blocking it.  Personally every time I download and test the game, it warns me if I want to open the game.  I would try running the program as administrator, disabling any potential antivirus, and if both of those fail, good old Google since it's a fairly common issue.  

If those don't work, please let me know and I'll see if I can find another solution!  Usually it's just being blocked by a defense program though.

Hi again,

I got it to work.  Thanks for your help.  It turns out that windows won't let me run it from a network drive.  Thanks again for the amazingly fast response.

I have downloaded unzipped the game but when I try to run it says that the app cant run and that I should check with software developer for help.
