Summary

6/21/2018 Everyone, please read the instructions carefully. The bugs that are being reported shouldn't happen if the correct files were even copied properly. Such examples like the "CTRL BUG" shouldn't happen if you copied index.html, package.json, the rpg*.js files and so on. I also received requests from some plugin developers that users must stop reporting incompatibility issues on this thread and towards them instead. Those are different from the official updates and all these bug reports just make them look unprofessional. Thank you.
