Summary
Hello guys, I need help! An year ago I started to create a new game on RPG MAKER MV, then, 6 months later, I bought RPG MAKER MZ and just copy and paste my files from MV to a new project on MZ. And it worked perfectly. I noticed that some features on MZ was not there, it was showing like in MV style on the database for example. Everything fine so far...

Hello guys, I need help!
An year ago I started to create a new game on RPG MAKER MV, then, 6 months later, I bought RPG MAKER MZ and just copy and paste my files from MV to a new project on MZ. And it worked perfectly.
I noticed that some features on MZ was not there, it was showing like in MV style on the database for example.
Everything fine so far...
Then, 6 months later creating on MZ (today), I decided to deploy the game and send to my friends to test it.
But when I deploy it for windows,
I came across this error when running the game:
Protected download
Some very important information that I could test already:
- If I deploy the game without encrypt it, the game works PERFECTLY xDDD (very strange)
- I already tried to copy and paste the files encrypted on a not encrypted project to see what happens and the error came out.
- If I copy and paste the ''img'' file from my project folder, to the encrypted project, another error comes out:
Protected download
But, if I put the encrypt file IconSet.png, or/and the PNG IconSet.png, the same error occurs XDD (crazy)
Protected download
- Only changing the ''img'' folder changed this ''failed to execute 'drawimage'...'' error. I tried change the other folders as well to see what happens and nothing happened.
- I already deployed it with all the plugins turned off and nothing changed.
Remember that I cant open the f8 window because the error only occurs when the game is already deployed.
Well this is it. Its very strange that only happens when I deploy encrypted.
I would be very happy for help, I dont know what to do anymore.
My MZ version is 1.6.1.
Thank you very very much in advance!
