I’m experiencing problems trying to compress a version of a fairly complex VX Ace game.
Basically the compression progress bar gets started, mostly fills up quickly, lingers near 100% for 5 minutes and then simply gives up with an error that says “Failed to compress game files.” (Roughly.)
Anyone had experience with this?
Welcome to the forums DukeLeto7!
A few things that would help narrow this down. How big is the project folder in total, and do you have Include RTP Data checked in the compress window? Also where is the output being written to, since a synced folder like OneDrive or Dropbox can get in the way while it’s building the file.
If you make a brand new empty project, does that compress fine? That would tell us whether it’s something in this project or something on the install side.
Worth trying with your antivirus paused too, it sitting near 100% for 5 minutes before failing makes me wonder if something is scanning or locking the file while it writes.
I slummed around a bit on the old RPG Maker Forums, I’m not really new… 
Turning off AV did solve the problem.
Thank you!
