Erratic Crashes During Playtesting (macOS RMMV)

[lotsoffish 0]

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so my apologies if it's in the wrong place.

 

Context and Problem summary:

I've been developing a game for a month or so in RMMV (macOS). Any time that I want to play test the game, test troop battles, or play a deployed version of the game, I can expect to run into one of the following issues:

• Game launches with a black screen (sound still works)
• Game plays for a little while but eventually turns into a black screen (sound still works)
• Game crashes before opening
• Game plays for a little while but eventually crashes

The frequency of these issues and which particular one occurs seems to be totally random. Usually if I try running the game enough times, it will eventually work for a long enough period for me to test what I need, but as you can imagine, this gets very annoying and makes a full play-through of the game impossible.

 

From what I can recall, these issues have been occurring since the beginning of the game's development. Up until this point I have just kind of tolerated it, but I plan to ship the game to some playtesters soon, so I need to get this issue resolved.

 

Plugins That I'm Using

As I mentioned, these problems have persisted since basically the beginning (I'm pretty sure before I added any plugins), so I don't think this issue is plugin related. I also don't believe that I'm doing anything sophisticated with plugins that might break the game, but in case it's helpful, here is a list of the ones I'm using:

 

Community_Basic

HIME_ActorBattleCommands

No Level & EXP

FilterController

Iavra Event Popups

 

Solution That I Attempted

I've unfortunately not been able to find many solutions to this problem online so far. I did see someone suggest creating a new project and copying the files from the game into this new project. I did this (using my friend's PC) but it ultimately had no effect on the issue.

 

 

Thanks in Advance

I really appreciate anyone who's willing to take the time to help me out : ) I'm scheduled to ship the game to playtesters on Tuesday (4/12), so I'm hoping to get this resolved before then. Happy to provide screenshots or additional information/context if necessary.

 

 

Best wishes,

Franklin
