saving etc...

Hi. I keep getting the following message with ALL games of this type. Any suggestions on solving the issue, as I can't save and occasionally, I get an error message and lose everything. The message is as follows:

'

Your profile cannot be used because it is from a newer version of NW.js 

Some features may be unavailable. Please specify a different profile directory or use a newer version of NW.js.'

Thanks in advance...

The problem is discussed, with a possible soluition, in this threat: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/mv-profile-error-occurred-durin...
 

"It means that at some point you or other users of your computer have installed/downloaded and launched a higher version of NWjs than RPG maker MV uses. It's a completely irrelevant message though and nothing bad happens, since for important settings there is a package.json file inside the folder."

Does the same error message appear when you can't save? Because usually it only appears at the start and can be ignored.
Maybe your game is on a read-only / write-protected location or USB stick where the game is not allowed to create save files by the system?

No. It just won't save. I have tried to use the auto save function, but this will not work either...

It's only these types of games. Renpy etc. games save perfectly...

Is there an error message when you try to save? Or what exactly happens? Do you see a save at first but it disappears later?

It just brings up the save screen. I click on one of them and nothing happens. I have tried to use the auto save function, but this doesn't work either. I have tried on both windows 7 and 10. This happens (or rather doesn't happen) with all this type of games. It's just that your game is the most enjoyable (and frustrating) one I have played, hence trying to get an answer...

Have you tried to move the entire game folder to a different location on your system? For example the desktop? I can only imagine that your system is preventing you from creating save files, if it's an issue that happens with all RPG Makers games for you.

Thx. I'll try later when I get home. (I have to use an internet cafe for all this...)

If that also doesn't work, send me a mail to Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de so that I can send you something else that might help.

Thx for all your advice. I moved it to another folder and everything works properly now. Also other games of this type save properly as well...
