FIDCHELL'S PROFILE

Hey, guys. Some of you may or may not know me, but Gibmaker and I have been working on a little something-something. Yes, this will be an indie project and we're still quite early on in it. I am the creative director while Gibmaker will be working on the heart of the engine and coding bits. We'll hopefully come across some more people who want to join in on the project, including a music artist and perhaps a tileset artist. I don't want to spill too many details on the game we are working on, but I'll provide you guys with some graphics since Gibmaker thought it would be o-tay to post a preview of the engine.

can you narrow down the source of the problem?
for example, is it just one specific game?
if so, which one?

might be a problem with the code in the game itself.

Nope, it's every XP game that I have.

Is it with any RPG Maker XP games? Does the XP editor start (if you have it)?

RPG Maker XP will trip DEP if it is in Whitelist Mode / OptOut mode. You can add it to the whitelist in Advanced System Properties -> Performance -> Data Execution Prevention (you can change the mode it is in from here too). The odds of this actually being the problem is pretty low though as it is in OptIn mode by default and RMXP won't be triggered by it. Otherwise I got nothing.

I am able to open up the editor and play a game through there. I just went and looked at the "Data Execution Prevention" tab and saw that RPG Maker XP and RGSS Player are already on the list. Tried removing them to see if anything changed and it's still crashing.

What is that arrowy thingy meant to be? What purpose does it serve? (I have been remiss in playing your last few releases, so that may be an ignorant question.)

For some reason this looks a bit like it's suffering from jpeg compression artifacting. Why is that?

The mini-HUD in the lower left corner seems a bit small and grainy.

(Sorry, I'm not usually so critical.)

The arrow points in the direction you wish for your character to move. You don't freely move in this game. It's a turn-based thing.

So this is a strange sound problem I've been getting since installing my new sound card. Whenever I play an RPG Maker game, when a sound plays usually it will make the music quieter and more muffled for about a second and then it rises back to its normal volume. Can anybody explain this strange and annoying problem? The card is a ASUS Xonar Essence STX.

EDIT: Not making a reply since that'll bump the topic. I'm pretty sure I've downloaded the latest drivers. Anyway it doesn't matter now. I've returned the product. This topic can die now.
