HOWLERLEECH'S PROFILE

Ah, being laggy is very, very different from not working. I thought you couldn't start the games. If they're just laggy then the solutions are completely different.

- Close down your web browsers
- Turn off your antivirus program's real-time protection
- Open the task manager, go to the list of processes, and see if anything other than svchost is using more than 100MB of RAM. If so, close that program if it's safe to do so
- If you don't know if it's safe to close a process that's listed in task manager, or how to close it, post what program it is
- Make sure your computer is actually plugged in and not running on battery - many laptops will start reducing the computer's quality and speed to save battery life when it's not plugged in

You should also download DirectX 12 because it can only help. There's no reason to still have version 9 unless you're on Windows XP.

Doing anything in software rendering mode is almost certainly the cause of your lag. If you can get the games to run without it then the lag should be fixed. The only games that you should ever really be running in software rendering mode are games that are so old that they predate the existence of 3D.

There is no anti-virus.
Already tried opening only the game.
Already done the task manager thing.
It's on power, seriously, i would have noticed, i make the screen lose brightness when on battery.
No help of DirectX 12.

I'm telling you man, btw, GPU is sis mirage 3.

Seriously, at this point i think it's easier to just find the alternative.

Tried, still laggy.

I'm using a starter Windows 7 32bits. To better detail the problem, there are MV games that are more laggy/buggy than others, VX Ace only works on software mode, i can't play even N64 roms that are 3D (for example, Harvest Moon works, Perfect Dark doesn't), DirectX is 9c.

I can't even play Touhou, everything is so laggy, but the music is normal.

Edit: Just tried updating the driver. Nope.

I recently got into rpgmaker games, i played many awesome titles translated by vgperson, or just have a link on his site, like The Witch's House, Capella's Promise and Hero and Daughter, most of the games are very good and i recommend, and some time ago i found this site and downloaded some games like Homework Salesman, Touhou Wandering Souls and Desert Nightmare, but i'm having a bad time finding new stuff that fits my taste, i just hate excessive griding and for some reason i keep finding games that require it. By the way, excessive grinding means you need 1k exp per level, monsters give 50 exp and you need 4 levels to be on par with normal monsters, and yes, there are a lot of games with that mechanic.

In light of that, are there any games that you feel like worth mentioning? I will start with some i feel like i have to mention (i'm sorry most are not from this site, but the world is big, and i certainly might have overlooked some games from here due to lack of knowledge, which is the point).

Story wise, i would recommend Capella's Promise, a really big game with good plot and great equip system. Seraphic Blue is also very good, but the story is filled with filler dialogs and if you have bad luck, a normal enemy can kill your entire party before you can do anything.

Fun wise (fun doesn't mean HAHAHAHA forever #jokergas), i would recommend Hero and Daughter, big game with an innovative story filled with easter eggs from the same creator and funny moments, it's japanese so beware of revealing clothes.

Gameplay wise, i recommend Touhou Wandering Souls, a hack and slash/plataform isn't new, but this one is one of the best, even for touhou standards, too big though, you get somewhat bored before the end, but it refreshes with the new characters, a must play for fans of Touhou.

Horror wise, The Witch's House really is one of the best (even among 3D horror games), it has good atmosphere, some jumpscares that induce panic, but don't try to get the true ending... Ignorance is a bliss. Seriously, if you look for it on youtube, you might not even play the game at all, which is sad.

Sorry for the long post, but i tried to be very detailed. Again, i'm a noob on the rpgmaker world, so i didn't get the feeling of it yet.
