CCleaner broke chrome? That doesn't sound right...I can still use chrome perfectly. All of this is really confusing for me.

You can't pirate against us because we have no software to sell lol and really don't care if you pirate, we just won't help you do it...but that's beside the point because you're not a pirate and no one thinks you are. Really, you should use CCleaner. ignore whatever microsoft forum said it can break your pc. It will only do that if you mess around with options you shouldn't touch anyway (if there are any. I've used it for years and haven't found anything that could break my pc). It's super easy to use and all it does is let you delete loose files automatically (kind of like throwing out old pieces of paper with scribbles on them in a drawer) to save space. When you get it, click on registry, then scan for issues, then just let it delete what it finds. It's really good at fixing registry errors, so there won't. be any problems. It even lets you back up your registry files just in case something breaks.

I highly doubt it. Simply editing a registry file will remove the trial entirely on older versions and they can never seem to make an engine that has all the necessary features. They're never that on top of anything.

Unfortunately, we don't exactly have that option unless someone has $30 (or is it $60?) lying around. I'm just trying to help chop actually use the engine. ...But I guess you're right. Oh, CCleaner works...I was gonna give a full tutorial on how to find and delete the exact registry files, but okay. If you don't have it, you can get it here => https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download It's free edit: actually, what pirates do is remove the trial entirely, but that's not necessary. (It's also what people who have lost the email and product key a long time ago do too)

Don't worry, we don't actually care if you pirated and don't need to see any proof. We believe you :) We're just trying to find the cause. Hm...So if you're using the trial version, that means you didn't buy it, which means that the program is trying to prevent you from keeping it longer than 30 days, which is very easy if you change your system time. The trial decides when to end based on your system time, so it makes sense that it would say something like that. As far as I can tell, there are only 2 ways of fixing this...well maybe 3. First, try a full uninstall of the program, than reinstall it and, when you start the trial again, give it a new email address. This should reset your trail period and let you use it again. If not, you may need to delete some registry files as well when uninstalling to get rid of it completely. You can still back up your projects and games. Or even just not touch them at all. If that doesn't work, buying it will definitely fix the issue, but I'm sure you don't want to and/or can't afford to just throw money at all your problems. If all else fails and you have the version that we have on this site, then you can edit a certain registry file to remove the trial period entirely, but that's technically piracy, so I won't be giving any tutorials on that. It's an old bug that I think newer versions have fixed.

RPG Maker XP was made by Enterbrain. This is not an official Enterbrain website, so no one here is the author of that program. This is the wrong forum anyway, so I'll move it for you. It looks like something's corrupt or you're a pirate (or both), but unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to know any way of helping. Could you give more information possibly? TOPIC MOVED TO: RPG MAKER XP SUPPORT edit: After some thought, I've realized that maybe steam version of rmxp has something in place to prevent piracy, but it's really crappy and doesn't like it when you change the system time...maybe. I don't know, I have an old version from when it first came out.

Well you wouldn't fight it in the exact same spot. It would be in some kind of rematch arena and it would be a lot stronger than before so it can still be a challenge after you've completed the main story. There's a sort of...plot device in the games I'm working on that allows certain bosses to show up again in the Tower of Ordeals on some of the boss floors, which are every 10 floors. The enemies get stronger as you go up, starting around level 60, and getting close to level 99 at the top. In Secrets of Grindea, you can refight some bosses in the Arena for extra loot since they all drop items that only they have, but don't have a 100% chance to drop anything. In Kingdom Hearts 2 FM, you can have rematches with every member of Organization XIII to get rare synthesis materials and if you beat them all, you get...well a stupid crown, but it's something. Maybe I should've said, "don't put tons of missable items in your games." I personally feel like FF7 has too many and that most of the side quests are way too easy to miss. If you just go straight for the story, you miss a ton of stuff. Unless you know where everything is, you have to look around the entire world after every little tiny story event and if you say the wrong thing or fail something, you can lose a valuable item really easily with no second chances. And bosses that don't have a 100% chance to drop something awesome, or have something really useful that you can steal, should let you fight them as many times as you want in some kind of arena. Nearly every boss in Xenosaga has a rare item you can steal from them, but there's no way to fight them again, so there's at least 1 missable item for almost every boss. Plus, the skill you need to steal will take some grinding to get if you want it for every boss fight that drops something. In FF7, only some bosses have steal-able items, but you get steal materia pretty early. It's discouraging though, when you need to steal like 200 times to get anything from any enemy if they have anything and most of them don't have anything useful. The only bosses that seem to have anything useful to steal are the Turks though, so I guess that's fine... The reason I say this is that too many bosses seem to have enemies between them and the nearest save point. It's annoying...SEYMOUR edit: And another thing... I want to be able to explore when I want to, not when the game wants me to. I feel like if I don't go exploring at the right times in some games, I miss important things.

Rant time! Please do not put missable items in your games. I want to be able to reach the final boss before I even try to 100% everything. Starting a new game just to get some cool equipment isn't worth it. That's one of my biggest issues with FF7 tbh. If you're going to have a missable item, it should be something you can get an infinite amount of anyway, at least by the end of the game. And every single piece of equipment that isn't infinite should NOT be sellable at all. Just setting the sell value to 1 to discourage selling it isn't enough. I used to blindly sell things in RPGs I wasn't using until I sold a few things I shouldn't have. Really annoying that that's even possible. And unrevisitable locations should be kept to a minimum. The only reason a location should be unrevisitable is if it's destroyed or the protagonist's goal throughout the game is to go back there. And if the unrevisitable location had an item that's not in infinite supply by the end of the game, or if the destruction of the location prevents a side quest from being started or completed, then there's a problem. And giving bosses stealable items that can't be obtained any other way (unless you can re-fight bosses) is stupid too. Anyone else agree with this? RPGs also need to have boss rematches so you can fight stronger versions of bosses as many times as you want for awesome loot. And if dungeons, especially the "final" ones, could all have shortcuts that lead straight to the final boss if the player has already gotten to it once, that would be great. Save points should be right next to bosses and I shouldn't have to backtrack through all of Northern Crater to get to the airship >.> And Xenosaga Ep. 2 and 3 are even worse. Ep. 1 is a little better, but still frustrating. And now some examples... I understand the need to add a challenge, but sometimes the developer's idea of a challenge seems to be "as annoying as possible."
