If this is not resolved, we will not be able to launch!/これが解決できないと発売できません！
Princess Reconquista has two major problems.
These must be resolved or we will not be able to sell the game.
I need your help because it is difficult for me to test each of them in my own playing environment alone.
Especially, it would be very helpful if someone who is familiar with Pixel Game Maker MV could come and help me!
1.Understand the minimum recommended specifications
There have been many reports of lag when there are many animations of characters and backgrounds, and this has been a concern of mine since the free trial version was distributed.
I would like to ask everyone who has experienced lag while playing the trial version of this game to please let me know your current playing environment (mainly OS, CPU, GPU, RAM).
We would appreciate it if you could also tell us when and where it occurs.
Please write in the comments section of the article.
Please note that we are only interested in “those who experience lag” in order to understand the problem.
If I could do something to lighten the game, I would be the first to do so, but that's not an easy thing to do...
It would be nice if there was some way to automatically lighten the resources or investigate what is causing the game to be heavy, but Pixel Game Maker MV is not equipped with such advanced features.
We will do everything we can to fix the problem, but honestly speaking, it is difficult to make the game any lighter than it is at this point.
Therefore, I thought it was necessary to at least understand the “minimum specifications” for playing this game.
Also, if we can narrow down as much as possible whether it is the CPU, GPU, or RAM that is causing the delay, it would be helpful for future reference.
It would be best if all could play comfortably...
We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your cooperation.
2.Save function malfunction
This is quite serious.
The save system was also one of the problems that was often reported, and even in my environment, I often had problems with saves not working, or loading data that was much older than the last data, for some reason.
After investigating the cause, I found that the save data was supposed to be created in the folder where the game exe is located (Resources > save), but for some reason it was being sucked into the Steam folder and the save data was being created there....
If that was all, it was still causing a rather nasty and mysterious phenomenon: every time the game was started, the game folder or the Steam folder was randomly referred to as the load destination.
Because of this,
The previously saved data behaves as if it has been lost when resuming play.
→Continue playing with the new data and quit the game once.
→The saved data is now back to the saved data that should have been lost the first time.
→I don't know which saved data is loaded each time I restart the game.
You are stuck in a situation where you have to go back and forth between the two saved data.
I don't know if the problem is that the save data is sucked into the Steam folder, or if the load destination is sometimes the Steam folder, or if this problem only happens to people with Steam... but anyway, this phenomenon is the only thing I'm sure of. We need to fix it.
But again, this is a problem with Pixel Game Maker MV itself, which does not allow users to tweak save and load settings.
It might be possible to solve the problem by entering the script directly, but I can't write JavaScript, so there is nothing I can do about it.
I know this is a rather complicated problem, but I would appreciate your wisdom.
The problem with this work is... well, it is not the only one... but for now, we must first solve these two problems.
If you have any other bug or problem reports, please comment on this article.
Please help us.

王女のレコンキスタは今、おもに2つの大きな問題を抱えています。
これらは必ず解決するべきものであり、そうでなければ販売に漕ぎ着けることが出来ません。
私個人のプレイ環境だけでは各検証が難しいので、皆様のご協力が必要です。
とくに、アクションゲームツクールMV（Pixel Game Maker MV）に詳しい方が来てくれるとすごく助かります！
1、最低推奨スペックの把握
キャラクターや背景のアニメーションが多い場面になると遅延が発生するといった報告が多く、無料体験版を配布した時から私も懸念している問題です。
この度皆様にお願いしたいのが、本作の体験版をプレイ中にラグが発生した方は私にレイ環境を教えていただけないでしょうか？
（主にOS、CPU、GPU、RAM）
具体的に発生する場面やタイミングなども併せて教えていただけると幸いです。
記事のコメント欄に記入をお願いいたします。
問題を把握するため「ラグが発生した方」だけでお願いいたします。
何かしら手を尽くしてゲームを軽く出来るのであれば私も真っ先にしてるのですが、簡単にはそうもいかない事情がありまして…
リソースを自動で軽くしたり、ゲーム内で何が重い原因になっているのかを調査できる機能があれば良いのですが、アクションゲームツクールMV（Pixel Game Maker MV）にはそのような高等な機能は備わっていません。
出来る限りの対策を講じますが、正直なところ現時点でこれ以上の軽量化は難しいと思います。
ですので、せめて本作を遊ぶうえでの「最低限のスペック」を把握しておく必要があると思いました。
また、遅延が発生する原因がCPUなのか、GPUなのか、RAMなのか、出来るだけ絞り込めれば、今後の参考にもなると思っています。
本来ならばすべての人に快適にプレイしていただくのが最良なのですが…
お手数をおかけしますがどうかご協力をお願いいたします。
2、セーブ機能の不具合
これは結構深刻です。
セーブ周りに関しても度々報告されていた問題のひとつで、私の環境でもセーブが度々出来ていなかったり、直前のデータではなく何故かそれよりもずっと過去のデータがロードされてしまうといった現象が度々起こっていました。
原因を調べてみた所、本来ならばゲームのexeがあるフォルダにセーブデータ作られるはずが（Resouces > save）、なぜかSteamのフォルダに吸い取られそっちにセーブデータが作られてしまう事が度々起こっているのが判明しまして…
それだけならまだしも「ゲームを起動するたびにロード先がゲームフォルダもしくはSteamフォルダかランダムで参照されてしまう」というかなりタチの悪い謎の現象が引き起こされていました。
これのせいで、
前にセーブしたデータが、再開時にあたかも消えてしまったような挙動を起こす
→新しいデータでプレイを続けて一度終了させる
→今度は最初に消えたはずのセーブデータに戻ってしまう
→再開するたびにどっちのセーブデータがロードされるのか分からない
…という、2つのセーブデータを行ったり来たりしてしまう状況に陥ってしまいます。
セーブデータがSteamのフォルダに吸い取られてしまうのが問題なのか、それともロード先がたまにSteamフォルダになってしまうのが問題なのか、Steamを入れてる人だけにこの問題が起こるのかわかりませんが…とにかくこの現象だけは絶対に直さないといけません。
ただ、こちらもまたしてもアクションゲームツクールMV自体の問題で、セーブやロードに関する設定をユーザーがイジれないようになっています。
スクリプトを直接入力すれば問題解決するのかも知れませんが、私はJavaScriptが書けないのでどうにもならないのが現状です。
かなりややこしい問題ではありますが、皆様の知恵をどうか貸していただけると助かります。
本作の問題は…まあ、これだけでは無いのですが…今はまずこの2つを解決することが先決です。
どうかご協力をお願いいたします。

すみません、どこかで言及済みでしたら申し訳ないのですが質問なのですがギャラリー機能などは実装予定でしょうか？
製品版に実装予定です。
クラッシュ報告です、旧市街の敵ラッシュ戦で空中膝蹴りを行った後敵が落下すると処理落ちしてゲームが落ち、セーブデータ丸ごと消失することが確認されました
ありがとうございます、こういったご報告はとても助かります。
I am playing alright in my laptop... no lag or no problem with saving too...
will there be a mac os version?
This is not possible unless PGMMV supports Mac builds.
Any good news? Did you solve the problems, or is there still something to do?
I'm planning to make a test version for saving, but I've been busy with the main game, so it's been put on hold for a bit.
are we closer to a release? has anything been figured out?
I'm working hard on it.
I have a RTX2060, 16gb ram, Ryzen 5 2600 and had no problem running the game (trial)
i will wait hehe
I'm using a 6650 XT, i5-14600K, SSD, and 16GB of RAM. I've never experienced any kind of lag or crashes. Thanks for the awesome work!
Will there be a reward this month?
Wait a little longer...
Realm of pixels has videos of your game as it's add. Fight them
Thank you for your report. As I mentioned in my post on X, there is nothing I can do about it personally, so I am not considering any countermeasures at this point.
Your game has been stolen and used for ads by a shitty cellphone game
If you have integrated graphics in your CPU and dedicated graphics from a GPU and your Windows power settings are correct, Windows will incorrectly choose the integrated graphics for this game by default. nVidia Control Panel has an option to "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area". If you enable this, open the activity window and launch the game, you will see that it doesn't appear in the list because it's not running on the GPU. You need to go into Settings > System > Display > Graphics, add the player.exe desktop app to the list manually, then you can set the GPU preference to your dedicated GPU (or High Performance). https://imgur.com/a/IikcxwQ I just tested this with v0.3.2 on a new computer. The game runs fine until I reach Father Fernando and then I think it's the waterfalls causing the game to slow down. It makes counter-attack timing unpredictable. When I switch to GPU I beat him easily. Windows 11, 64GB RAM, AMD 9950X3D, RTX 5090 (desktop)
This may be useful information. I'm not very knowledgeable about PCs, so I apologize if my question is silly, but is it unusual for certain apps to be incompatible with GPUs? If this is a problem specific to Pixel Game Maker MV, there may be nothing I can do to improve the situation...
Hi, I suffer from the delays you mention, mainly in the sex and combat animations, when moving it is less, I played the demo on a PC with 8GB Ram Intel Core i5 8th Gen (i5-8250U) and CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80GHz, 64-bit system, its like the batle was in slow motion
Thanks for the great game! Only complaint is the censorship (in places like the menu), though I assume that's to get around local laws. I haven't had any issues with the game aside from a bit of a visual bug where I have a line going across the screen (not frequently noticeable). I have a AMD Ryzen 9 9900X CPU 32 GB RAM MSI X670E Motherboard AMD Radeon RX 9070 GPU
Good times! Here are my PC specs: 8 GB RAM, Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4500 @ 1.10GHz 1.11 GHz, no GPU, Windows 10 x64 bit. The lag usually occur during moments like the first encounter with Padre Fernando and during the boss fight against him, I experience a lot of lag too, it's like the battle was all in slow motion (It actually gives me certain advantage over the boss hehe). There's lag also during stages with a high load of enemies like in the sewers of Lilitran City or in the section before Padre Fernando boss fight. It's important to note that I can still run the game and play kind of normally, but experiencing slow motion animations. Hope this information helps you figure something out, I love your game and I lovethe dedication and care you've put into the project, Sincerely.
Hey! I'm mainly playing on my computer that has these specs : 32 GB RAM, RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB and a Ryzen 5 7500F. I've also played on my gaming laptop which is significantly weaker : RTX 3050, 16GB Ram and an I5-11400H and for some reason, my game is much much slower on it, while it runs perfectly on my computer. It's the only issue I've run into, otherwise, everything is fine for me!
hi not sure what my specifications are but I am able to run that game on an absolute shitbox and have no problems at all. Hope This helps? XD
If you have Steam: Open Steam -> ''Help'' (upper left corner next to: friends + games) -> system information
Hi, I played your game with i5 5th (integrated graphics)gen stock system with both ssd, and hard drive and 8GB of Ram Intel system. i came to see that its was pretty slow on harddrive while a bit faster on ssd. rest the someplace on the final boss stage the game started to slow down, always no matter what i do to make it run faster. IDK if it helps or not but thats all. however same thing on my new gen laptop with the same specs but 10gen is running it smoothly.
Hello! Windows 10, Ryzen 5 5600X, Nvidia GTX 1650, 16 GB DDR4 RAM. No lag on my end, loved your game! Don't give up!
hii, this game go for steam?
Actually, the person just below me is asking the same thing.
Do you plan to release the game on Steam or GOG?
The Steam version is currently in preparation. This is the first time I've heard of GOG.
Hello👋 I have Ryzen 7 7730U With integrated graphics 16gb Ram Win 11 Still can run the game with no issues
Hi! Good job working hard and hopefully these things can get solved! I have Intel Core i7 4770, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and 16GB ram and the game worked perfectly for me with no issues!
win 10 , i7 - 4790, Gforce 1070 , 32 GB DDR3 RAM, works perfect
As far as i can tell, i play the monthly update versions u provide, i never had any performance issues. Win10, I7 13700KF, RTX 4070TI, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, 2 TB Samsung EVO Plus SSD
no lag for me (spec ryzen 7 3700x/16gb ram/ssd 1to samsung evo plus/windows 11 )
I tested the game on an RX 6600, a Ryzen 5 4600G, and 16GB of RAM. I noticed a bit of delay when jumping or dodging, especially when moving around—like a 3 to 4 second lag. It’s really noticeable during boss fights. But honestly, I loved your game! The way you interact with the community is awesome, and the mechanics are super fun. The boss fight music was epic too—it really made me feel like I was in the battle. It’s been a while since a game gave me that feeling. I really hope you keep working on the project, because I’m planning to support you starting this month. It won’t be much, but I want to follow the progress. ❤️
I played this game on my shitty pc and confronted no problems . No lag , no slow animations , no fps drop . Here's my specs : Intel i5 4460 Nvidia Gt 730 4GB 8GB RAM 1600 mhz and 256 gb SSD (dont know the brand) And I played this game flawlessly at 60 fps so dont worry about minimum specs. At least you can write down my pc's specs
Mine doesnt lag at all or bug my specs are rtx 4080 super 64 ram and cpu ryzen 7 78003dx
Hello, no worries, we're here to help my specs are: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 - 11400H (12 cpu's) 2.7ghz 16 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU Windows 11 I figured that when you save the game and leave the game sometimes the data is gone for version 0.3.2, however for some reason this gets fixed if you close the game and then re-open the game (please note this issue doesn't show that often). As for lag, the game ran perfectly the entire game, but over time I noticed that in the final fight of the beta, The game got pretty slow progressively after breaking the boss's defense bar. Hope this helps.
For me, the problem I have with the controller is that some actions change automatically, such as jumping to attack, when using a special move it changes to jump and the menu option is activated when pressing the evasion button. Those are the problems I get when I'm on the computer, but it doesn't happen on the laptop. I don't know if I'm the only one who has this problem or if there are other people with this.
Pressing the F1 key brings up the settings menu from which you can change button placement, etc. Is it possible that the settings have been changed there?
Hello, sorry to hear that. My specs are: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 - 13650HX 32.0 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU WIndows 11 So far, I haven’t had any major issues with the game. The only problem I can recall was back in version 0.3.2, when my save data disappeared and I had to start over. That only happened once and hasn’t occurred again since. It happened right after the first conversation with the priest. I had saved the game, but when I reopened it, the save file was gone. I started over, completed that section again, saved the game, and continued to the next area. After that, the issue never came back.
Hello, I just tried the game version 0.3.2, and i don't have any problem on the save. The save file are create in the folder Resources/save. I seach in C:\Users\(userName)\AppData\Local and i found a folder named princess_reconquista_reward_2024_10 but without save inside. So in my side, there is no problem of save or lag. Sorry to not help more.
I don't launch the game via steam (it is on steam ?). I lauch the game by the exe. If the test must be done with steam, could you give me a link to the game on steam or the name ? Because I don't find it on steam.

Was playing on laptop with i7-9700k, rtx 2060 and 16gb ram. And all worked. Now I have MacBook with m1 max and the game doesn't launch at all. I tried wine, crossover, virtual machine, but no luck, sadly
Well, I tested each version that came out on one computer and on another on a laptop of a different range. When comparing, it was seen that regarding video and audio performance there is a bit of distortion on the laptop, which is low-resource, and on the computer there is no problem with that, only that there is an issue with the controls that change with each certain action.
If I may, please be more specific about “only that there is an issue with the controls that change with each certain action.”
I would like to point something out with the save files. Being stuck with the new save data from a reward version. Going in: C:\Users\(userName)\AppData\Local and you should see a new folder most likely under princess reconquista 0.3.2. example: princess reconquista reward 25 02 So I always delete/remove the reward version and I permanently have the original save file. Hope this helps. I have not seen you mention this method in this post, so if you implied it, I am sorry and probably delete my comment. Edit: Have you tried reddit? Looking for you specific problem or just asking them about it
Sorry, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the translation environment on our side or not, but I'm a little confused about the meaning of the first part... We are not at all familiar with reddit, but if the folks there are kind, we will consider it.
Hi, I am running the game on my old MacBook Air: Intel Core i5 1,6ghz (2,7ghz turbo) 4GB RAM Intel HD Graphics 6000 Latest available OS for this old buddy The MacBook is from early 2015. My experience is, that the 0.3.2 runs very slow. Like 5-10 fps. But for a game like this it is fine for me. I’m 37 and really don’t care for fps in this particular game I hope this helps. Regarding saves, the 0.3.2 version was played by me for a few days when you released it. I just checked and the save was still there. So no issue here at Least for me I also hope this helps
How did you manage to run it on MacBook? What emulation did you use?
Yahhh
