    Hello. I want to make a pokemon fan game. However, whenver i playtest or run directly , It shows a black screen. I can still hear audio and the game accepts my input, but i can only see a black screen. I have reinstalled essentials and rmxp but its not fixing the problem. Also i am not getting any error messages for some reason
     
    I'm having the same issue. Playtesting with a fresh game works fine, but running Essentials does nothing. Did you figure out how to fix this or are you still having problems with it too?
     
    I'm also having the same problem. Does anyone find a solution to this?
     
    (I don't use V19, my diagnosis is based on v18.1)


    1. Check the title of the window of the game. Does it display some changing texts? (it might be compiling the database, hence the black screen, and you're quitting the game before the end of the compilation)
    2. Do you see the "New Game / Options / others" screen? (like when you start a new game, the step before the interview with Prof Oak)
    3. In RPG Maker, can you locate the player's starting position? It should be in a map called "Intro". There should be events near it, and one of it should be an Autorun event that runs the interview with Prof Oak. Maybe this event is not an autorun, hence the black screen.
     
    I noticed that this only happens for PE v19.1. I have tested PE v16.3 and it works perfectly. Also when playtesting v19.1 appears a cmd window saying that I'm using a trial version (which it's true), but this does not happen when playtesting v16.3.
    I also noticed that when playtesting v19.1 for the first time it shows the black screen, but when closing and playtesting a second time it does nothing.

    For vanilla essentials v19.1, download v19 hotfix plugin latest version,
    Place a hotfix scripts to plugins folder and replace the mkxp.json with mkxp.json from v19 hotfix plugins
