Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive

using linux mint debian, every game fails with seemingly the same error:
[9888:9888:0628/111510.197357:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive: object_path= /org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: This method is not implemented
after that it just gets stuck on a blank screen.

I looked around a bit, and this seems to be a common bug in many programs in many distros.
which happens when a program is trying to interface with the screensaver via dbus to see if the screen is available or not.

for example here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues/632

the script then hangs if the reply is this method is not implemented instead of the expected replies of true/false?

I tested the rpg maker mv/mz games in lmde 6 using Virtual box and the games worked fine for me.

Here's for example a toga game from itch.io.

I've gotten this error message running some games, but it never kills the program; simply hangs it for a moment and then continues.

Alright, thank you.
It is likely that something is wrong specifically with my system then.
I have been banging my head against it and could not fix it though.

That said, I think it would be a nice improvement if the program could just ignore it when the screensaver DBUS is unresponsive.
as apparently this specific issue, while not found in all systems, is a fairly common one that affects many programs.

This is an nwjs bug, you should probably write a report here.
https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues

Specifying: System, Version of nwjs, your display server protocol: wayland or xorg and the log of this error.
You can also upload your system config report.

I also have some errors with dbus, but the games are running successfully.

You can also post your report with the system config.
I also have errors with dbus too, but the games are running successfully.

I don't compile the nwjs manually, I download it from the official site, so I can't fix this problem, you can report it to the developers at the github link.

I found a solution that works for me:

  1. Run the game using the SDK version of nwjs
  2. When the window opens to a blank screen, right-click and click on "Reload app".
  3. Game works

I never managed to get the GUI to work. but I did find a workaround.

I went to
/home/username/Templates

created an executable file called
game-rpgmaker-linux.sh

which is a text file whose contents say

#!/bin/bash
rpgmaker-linux

in every RPGM game I right click next to "game.exe" and select creating a new file and picking the game-rpgmaker-linux.sh. which then adds it there. I can then double click that file to successfully run RPGM games via cicpoffs

I completely gave up on running using the "open with" gui dialog. although it can be used for upgrading the engine version
