Hi, I love this game and I am very frustrated because I have these 2 problems....  qwp

I hope you can help me with these problems and I hope it's not too much of a bother.

1: The game only works running it from the .zip or playing it from the index.html in the firefox browser (this is normal isn't it?) because when I run directly the .exe from the unzipped .zip it doesn't work well and when I see in the windows 7 task manager there are several processes moving up and down with the names; GROVE, grove, grove, grove, grove, grove

it's very strange and i don't understand why it doesn't work well, because when i run it from the .zip it works perfectly up to a certain point and in the task manager the processes are different and this time the 4 processes have the name in capital letters (i don't know if this has something to do with it).

but well, I don't mind too much as long as I can use itchio's launcher.

although running the game from the itchio launcher, i have very bad fps and it crashes more often.

2: Another problem I have is that when I get to the desert zone, the game crashes after entering the zone and waiting a few seconds, although I have the theory that if I get to that zone running the game from the browser it might not crash or damage the game, the only problem with playing from the browser is that it doesn't let me load saved files and.... well... you can imagine :/

Maybe, and I think so, these problems are due to my laptop and its low performance, you see, my laptop has very low requirements but it runs some other rpg's (some, I mean very few) , what I don't understand is why the game runs so bad, is it possible that my laptop is missing a couple of drivers or something? 

my laptop has 

has a processor :

Intel(r) Celeron(r) CPU 847 @ 1.10ghz 1.10ghz

ram memory: 

2.00gb (1.83gb usable) 

and an operating system :

32bits

(sorry for my bad english, I'm using a google translator)

Looking at your computer specs, unfortunately the system requirements for an RPGMAKER game is about 4gb in RAM, with Grove potentially requiring a little bit more due to the presence of large .png images. It also doesn't help that the MV engine isn't the most optimised thing in the world, but we'll try and improve the overall performance of the engine in the future.

Regarding your zip issue:

I have a feeling that the zip issues are caused by your low system specs, with a browser potentially only loading certain scenes, hence the better performance. This is evident when you mentioned you crash in the Desert area as there are a few large assets there, but performance in the area in general isn't all too great for a few with decent rigs. We're looking into that for the next update as well.

We'll do what we can with improving the performance in the future, but at the moment, it does seem like the primary issue relates to your low system specs. I do apologise I can't be of any better help!

Oh, I knew the problem was with my laptop, well well....

Thank you very much anyway and good luck with the optimization of your game <3 <3 <3 ^^
