I was able to install on windows 7 and enjoy the game play. The only problem I have is that the record does not work. The plot is interesting and the battles are challenging.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your feedback Julianna

I understood your context just fine. If you have a "team" who checks these things, how did this dog slip by?

the game Legionwood 2 would not extract will you but back up for free i tried all day nov 7 and would not extract thanks

From comment #2: "I already have this game via Steam, so hadn’t bothered to check the download till now."

..............................Moderator comment.........................



What i was trying to say was I'd not checked the giveaway version for problems as i already owned this game and it worked fine on win 10. It was only after seeing several comments indicationg that there was a big problem with the giveaway files that i checked the giveaway myself and found I also could not install the game.

I'm hoping the giveaway team will repost this game sometime soon with a new executable as many giveaway members missed out on a decent anime RPG.

The response was specific to the comment posted by the community member. Taken out of context it appears meaningless, but if you read the original comment, my answer should make sense. :)

Here's a suggestion: test the package you offer as a download before you post it, even if it's a game you've purchased elsewhere and seems to work.

The gamegiveaway team do test the games they give away.

Doesn't appear to have been fixed (with about 90 minutes left in the download 'day'). Win10 Basic natively, tried installing in Win 7/Vista/XP compatibility modes, with antivirus turned off, as admin, moved the setup files to a different drive; all gave the same "Could not extract file!" error.

Maybe next time.

It works on Windows 7 (32 bit), thanks a lot.

I FARTED. IT STUNK. YOU SHOULD SMELL IT. WELL BYE. I LOVE YOU ALL!!

I also got it running on the Win10 preview (10565)- although I got the RGSS3 player error.

Hi there .
I don't know if someone else already mention it
and I am to tired to read all the comments .
I've managed to bypass the error and installed
the game through save mode and when I've booted
to "normal" mode the game worked just fine .
My pc is a semi old rig running Win xp sp3 .

I semi-agree. The game wouldn't start from a desktop shortcut until the game was launched from the executable. After that, any created shortcut worked just fine. Go figure! (Win7 x64)

The game will not install on a 64-bit machine. I was able to get it to install on a 32-bit machine running Vista, it did run there OK but keyboard input will not work. Unable to change default name except to add letters, no way to backspace and delete characters. I did copy the installed directory to a flash drive then copied the directory to my Win 10 64 bit machine and it does run but still the same problems of no keyboard input, cannot backspace to remove characters and change the default name.

Hi all. I'm running Windows 7 on a not very new at all HP EliteBook 2530p. The game failed to launch immediately after setup, but opened just fine when I clicked on the executable itself. Now about to go through the intro. I guess it's best to post in the threads if anything else comes up. Cheers.

Whiterabbit, the main "problem" seems to be the System Requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 (x32/x64); Processor: Intel Pentium® 4 2.0 GHz equivalent or faster. It is listed at the top of the page. If running on Win8 and higher it will not work(I think because this RPG is made with an RPG Maker program which is only compatible with the older OS's), so technically it is not an error. People will get the "Game Cannot Be Extracted" and “Operating System Not Supported” error when installing it on the wrong OS. But, some people are getting the "Game Cannot Be Extracted" error or "Program Did Not Run Correctly" error when installing/running it on the required OS systems which is usually with Win7 64-bit PRO version. I know that the Win7 PRO/Ultimate versions have stricter security features, so perhaps disabling them before the game set-up may help. BTW, I downloaded and installed the game fine on my Win7 64-bit Home Ed. without disabling Anti-virus Avast and PrivateFirewall. I got the "RGSS" error, but when I tried running it again by clicking the shortcut on the desktop it ran fine. Good Luck to all! And thanks for the RPG game!

............................Moderator comment..............................

It may have something to do with the operating system, then again, I purchased this game via Steam and it works perfectly on my win 10 computer.

Running Windows 10 64bit as an insider preview. Installed fine and have been able to play the game. Don't know why so many problems with the install and playing. did run the installer as Admin.

I cannot extract the files using widows 10 even though I disable the anti virus software

i could not extract the files ven though i had disable the anti virus software
im using winndows 10

Yes, it is true that it requires OS's up until Win7, but some people are getting errors with the listed OS's too. The main problem is that the game is not compatible with Win8.1 and up.

Thought I'd give it a try as well as this looked like a great game, but I'm getting the same error as everyone else (can't extract file). Thanks, though.

I had the same error message and clicked the desktop shortcut and it ran fine (Win7 64-bit, Avast virus program, PrivateFirewall not disabled when installing)

Yes, I agree with you. I extracted and installed it fine on my Win7 64-bit laptop. I didn't have to disable Avast virus program or my firewall either. It looks like everyone who has up until Win7 is OK, but everyone from Win8.1(including Win10) is out of luck :(

i have 10 and it will not extract

Wow! I was wondering about the first one and where to get it. Thank you for the link!

Game installs without any issue under Win7 if you shut down Avira for the install (don't forget to put it back active once installed).

Loaded fine on Windows 7. To change the player name I think I hit ESC and then did backspace to delete Lionel but it was a bit of a faff getting it to change. Nearly gave up at this point because I reckoned if it was so convoluted to simply change the player name, heaven only knows what horrors the actual game would hold. Actually pleasantly surprised. If you get the screen position right you can click on a far off point and the team will happily trundle along several corridors to get there. ESC seems to be quite an important key. RECORD is the game's SAVE option.

After initially feeling rather disappointed with the clunky feel of the game in comparison with modern slick games, this one harks back to Nintendo style cassette games - Zelda in particular, I spent the best part of a day playing it. Will take more than a weekend to complete so have had to put it down. Whether I will continue playing, is another matter. Playing on easy mode still eats up more time than I can really justify. For a bit of nostalgic fun it is worth a few hours of your time.

Able to install without problem but like others have said the only way you can actually play the game is if you select the game.exe file. So I deleted the original desktop icon, selected the game.exe file, and used it as the desktop icon, and then renamed it on the desktop. then you can play it.

Thanks, David. I guess I was blind this morning!

This version will not run on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. The developer must create a new version, which is runs on windows 8, 8.1 and 10, too. In the System Requirements is no windows 8, 8.1 and 10 listed. I think this is the reason why it not runs on this systems.

The message means that this game is not compatible with windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
This is no problem from GAOTD. The developer must create a new version, which is runs on windows 8, 8.1 and 10, too.

Installs and works on Win 7 64bit. Maybe it's all about the security software. Try switching it off after activating and disconnecting from the internet.

There are suggestions above on how to install it: Alternate locations other than the default - which I used because I too have an alternate partition I use for games, music, video etc. Also, the suggestion it might be the spaces in the folder name on the installer. But, rather than people trying these things, they whine. You could try some fixes. Yes, it might be nice if the developer would look into some of this stuff, but, if I stood around waiting for others to fix all the world hiccups, well... it would be a life of just standing around and waiting.

I agree with some of the above comments, not sure about the intuitiveness of the interface and seems kind of dumb I can't rename Lionel. But, that won't derail me from testing further. I've actually learned to solve some of my own problems in life.

.........................Moderator comment................................

I still haven't managed to get the game to work. Same message as everyone else i.e. 'Game cannot be Extracted' I already have the game which I purchased via Steam and that version works perfectly, so I can only assume it has something to do with the giveaway wrapper. Some community members are able to get the game working. Let me know if it's a operating system problem. all three computers i've tried to install it on are Win 10, but I still have to try installing it to a win 7 machine, tohught it's in bits at the moment. I will finish repairing it before the giveaway ends and see if i can install it to that computer. in the meantime, if you do get the game to work, can you tell the community what operating system you are using. thanks.

Getting the install error on both of my laptops, one with win 10 the other with win 7 pro, both 64-bit. On the pro machine, I get a message that the program did not run correctly. Will try it on desktops with Vista and XP (32-bit).

at 23:02 GMT+! (Netherlands) still getting the error message "could not extract file"

bummer

Nearly 4 pm & the file is still giving the "Could not extract file" error on install. Would like to have tried the game. I love RPGs.

Tried it again. Can't extract. Oh well, mabe the developer will correct this problem.

Umm, those people complaining that it does not work on Windows 10 should have read the "system requirements" first. It requires "Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 (x32/x64)". If it was supposed to work on W10, that would have been listed there too.

Whining because it does not work on W10, and calling this an "error", is as stupid as me moaning because it won't work on my Commodore Amiga!

RTFM folks!

could not extract file it says that prob i have

Can't install on Windows 8.1

I was able to install (I'm on Win 7). I did run into the RGSS error when trying to launch from the installer, but when I tried running from the start menu shortcut it launched just fine.

Installed the game on xp: no problems
installed it on Vista: no problems
installed it on windows 7 32 bit: no problems
installed it on windows 8.1 64 bit: "could not extract file".

Used the same download on each computer. I had to disable avira to insall it. Bitdefender made no problems.

I think the problem is Windows 8.1 !!!

If you get the RGSS3 error, don't worry. in the worse case scenario, take Mick's advice and just go to the game folder and click on the game.exe file itself. I can also verify this works. It appears that the problem only happens with the installer launcher. Since you only use this the very 1st time, you never have to worry about it again. With some rudimentary research, it appears that the game engine development program they used occasionally has this problems with launchers, and it shows up in services like Steam. Since your installing this on your comp, you won't need a launching program like a 3rd party service would use, you'll just go to the folder and click on the game. I didn't let the installer create a start menu shortcut or desktop shortcut, and I usually don't for reasons too complicated to get into here. So, if the desktop shortcut or start menu shortcut has the same error, then just go to the game folder, take note of where it's installed if you re-install or are reading this before you install, and make your own desktop shortcut, if you want one, and you won't have any problem. I verified this also, but I think the problem is only with the installer launcher, and so never re-occurs. But, the shortcuts may work just fine. So don't panic or try to re-install until you've tried the shortcuts. And, if they don't work - though they probably will - then, as Mick says, don't let that deter you and just go to the game folder.

"I just tried and get the same message, “cannot extract file”, hopefully they will get it fixed soon"
Ditto now Windows x64 Pro. Oh well probably further problems & very old DOS style anyway. On to better plays.
Thanks, just hope get act together tomorrow.

Installed on Vista 32 with no problem, though I never use the default destination (I have a "games" partition on another drive). First time I tried to run the game it generated one of those "the instruction at (memory address) referenced memory at (memory address)..." messages and shut down. Tried again and it runs fine. Windowed mode is useless, it is a tiny window which cannot be resized. Could not change the character name since there was no way to backspace over the existing name. The interface is very clunky and non-intuitive. There seems to be the basis of an interesting game here, though I only played a few minutes; will try again in full screen when I have time to decipher the interface, controls, etc. It gets a tentative thumbs up from me.

The first Legionwood game is available for free here: http://rpgmaker.net/games/792/

I can't install either - get the same "Could not extract file" message. It's 3:30pm EST here, so it hasn't been fixed as yet.

Just installed and activated without problems.
Game may run on slower processors (it runs on AMD 2650e 1.6 GHz - at least to the end of first battle).

Right click on the character name screen to backspace.
