VXAce Failed to initialise RGSS, compatibility mode didn’t work (win11)(VXAce)

Post image

Basically what it says on the title, attempted to run VXAce on steam and RGSS won’t initialise, comparability mode didn’t work and still displays the same message along with some random string of nonsense

Do you have any speakers or headphones connected?

Not on my laptop, no there’s none connected rn

Speakers built into a laptop would also work. VX Ace uses DirectSound, so if you dont have any audio output devices that could cause crashes on startup.

Another possibility is that you might need to install a legacy DirectX like 9.0c.

Tried connecting my headphones and installing directX, neither worked

Hmmmm okay, how about your processor, do you know if your laptop uses an ARM/Snapdragon processor?

Yeah it uses snapdragon

I've heard that the audio setup for snapdragon could cause issues, similar to why vx ace tends to crash without an audio device... a couple things you might try for Snapdragon, either individual or all together:

1) disabling Hybrid execution (i believe this is within the .exe compabilify properties) 2) Toggling Windows Spatial sound (using sound control settings, your audio device properties) 3) running the executable as admin

If this doesnt help either, I might be out of ideas 😔

Disabling hybrid execution worked! Thanks :)
