Not opening at all

I'm running windows 10, and after I installed the engine, when I try to open it, it just shows the "waiting" mouse cursor for a few seconds, and then nothing. It's like I didn't even try to open it. Are there any prerequisites for Qt or something? When I'm connected to the Internet it says my updater is expired, but I just installed it yesterday. Offline there's nothing. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi! In your installation folder, you should have a "Engine" folder containing "version.json". What is there inside? What's happening if you directly open "RPG Paper maker.exe" inside "Engine" folder instead?

That's weird that you had the updater expired. What you can do is uninstalling completely and downloading the installer again.

Huh. Seems that no engine folder existed. I redownloaded and installed, and this time an updater downloaded v1.5.3? (sorry, not sure about the last number) from GitHub, and now it seems to work just fine. It seems likely that when BitDefender Antivirus went full potato quality and deleted all the games I had right after I extracted them, it must have also deleted the engine folder right after I installed RPGPM the first time, possibly because it contained JavaScript. I switched back to Avast a few days ago and RPGPM now works just fine! Thanks for your help!
