Volunteers! I need some.

Hey! Has the game crashed on you in the past? If so: I need you to volunteer to help me!

One of my previous beta-testers and I think we MAY have figured out the problem, however, it makes zero sense (and I mean zero because even with the script gutted so there's like nothing, it still makes him crash, but take out that script, no crashing!) so I need someone else who had the game crash on them a lot to play through a new version I have and see if it crashes on them. Simple. Just gotta put up with my game for another play through!

So anyone who had it crash a lot want to help me out? Please comment here and I'll PM you the link! It would be good to have 2-3 people to make sure it's just not a coincidence or whatnot.

The only thing is, you need to have the VX-RTP installed (only gonna compress one version of this) and you may not be able to use your IP skills (the gauge won't show up with this build, so I am not 100% sure if you can use the skills). You can use an old save file if you want and then go around to your usual places that crashed on you (if there are any (for example this beta-tester can get it to crash within 10 minutes of dungeoning in the Guardian Shrine)) or start the game anew. Anything that you know will get the game to crash for you.

So do we have any takers? Please?

Yessir ! I have my favourite crashing spot that I'd be happy to test, and I'll use the more in-depth playtesting to show the game to some friends.

I was daydreaming that someday I would try to find/code a way to monitor exactly what happens during error message-less crashes like these (for VX games in general since this maker seems particularly unstable, I've had all sorts of absurd problems).
But if at least you could solve your problem without such heavy methods, that'd be pretty much awesome.
The last barrier between you and international success, fame and torrents of money would finally be down !
(unless you're Obsidian and crashes are a kind of trademark)

I don't want to make a crash my trademark!

And as soon as it's done uploading, I'll be sending you a PM. Just cross your fingers I finally figured it out. And cross your toes too I guess. I need luck!

Edit: I sent it! Any other takers with a situation different from Hasvers up there?

All right, so the fix didn't work for Hasvers up there. Did anyone else want to give it a shot? If it really is so different from person to person in what fixes for person A but that's not the same for person B, I think I'll end up more than stumped.
It crashed for me alot. I'd love to help you, Ronove.
I'd love to help but it never even once happened to me before OTL
This must be really frustrating, Ronove, when the game crashed for some people and doesn't for others. And to make matters worse, it's random as well. Hasn't happened to me either... ><

Just to let you know, if it isn't the same with others, for me it tends to crash right when entering a battle, opening the menu, or finding/recieving an item. But mostly it happens right when entering a battle.

@Dyluck: That actually sounds like what was happening to my beta-tester. Would you like to test with this version that made the crashing stop for him?

@Yuna & EvilEagles: I KNOW! @___@ At least I now know it doesn't happen to everyone. I don't know if that's actually helpful, haha.
Ronove, Progress report:
So far, (and it may be a little early to tell) this has been working so very close to perfectly! The only time it happened is when I died. And, the battle system doesn't seem to be affected other than the TP bar\gauge.
I'm having alot of fun too!

All right then the fix already failed if it even happened upon a game over. OTL Thanks for giving it a shot, though!
The way I see it, it's at least a step up. Better it happen on a game over when I'm already dead then during gameplay while I haven't saved in awhile, know what I mean?

Yeah, that is true, but it still makes me sad the problem isn't fixed. If something still sets it off, that means more than likely, other people will still get it at other times. Something gets set up and while it only makes a problem when you get a game over, not everyone will end up being so lucky. Even still, thank you!
Oh, I see. Well, if you produce any more fixed versions that need testing, I'd be happy to help.
