I tried a few other methods and nothing has worked. I have restored the original file I had it in to 109 and it works fine again. So I don't know whats wrong with 113. Which is really sad because I was looking forward to hearing the new VA and the other new additions
From a quick study into the EPERM issue, it seems having the game in the main program folder causes this problem. If you haven't already, try completely reinstalling the game and putting it somewhere else on your computer (putting it in Programs first before moving it can cause some read-only issues to persist)
Another potential thing to just check is... have you made sure to unzip / extract the game first? EPERM relates to not having permission for the program to 'write' changes, in this case to the persistent save file. It sometimes can't do this if you haven't unzipped the game first.
The only other thing I can think of that may cause such an issue would be, worryingly enough, some kind of malware or issues on your computer... so if all else fails it may be worth trying to do some computer cleansing.
Hopefully some amount of this is useful for you!
I don't know how I got it to the point where it gave the EPERM warning. I remember it only started loading after I added the save files into the V113 files, but of course came up with that EPERM warning. But before, and currently the v113 folder will not even launch the game itself. Currently it will just give an Application error (0xc000007b). If I replace the old game.exe with a renamed (to game) nw.exe file it won't do anything, no errors, nothing.
I also noticed that in the old folder of the v109 there are additional files like a Chromedriver, nwjc, nacl64, that aren't in the current v113 files or the previous versions, or the nw.js folder mentioned in one of your other comments.
I just don't understand what's going wrong here, as mentioned I have it working on v109 now. Very confusing
Okay somehow I solved it. I went onto task manager and saw the Antimalware services executable popup, on there so i went to check "for details" and found severall instances of game.exe running on the details. I ended the tasks, and opened the game.exe for v113, and now it works... I feel that is too stupid for the reason I have been unable to play the game.
It sounds like a stupid reason, and it's a quirk of RPG Maker as an engine and not something we've done ourselves, but yeah... the game doesn't want to run if you have multiple issues of the game running at once.
I'm sorry that it was a nuisance for you, and I'm sorry it's something beyond our control and a bit unpredictable, but hopefully the game now works smoothly and you can enjoy it nonetheless.
