Switch Freezing

I downloaded a bunch of plugins and now some switches that previously worked cause the game to freeze. It's at the point when your ship has been sabotaged and you talk to the mayor again, about half an hour into the game. Does anyone know what's causing it? I also get lag on the Rice Road Forest map now too: does anyone know what causes that? I don't have much technical know how unfortunately...

Deactivate your recent plugins and see if the problem persists. Maybe some of those plugins are using the switches you're attempting to utilise.

They could be... I'm just hesitant to reactivate them since I've spent several days integrating them into my game. I'll definitely try that if I'm desperate though.

If you want help while being this vague, you are going to have to post your actual project files so we can open it up inside rpg maker to try to troubleshoot the issue.
Playing your game wont help us figuring out why it freezes.
If you post the project, you should also say what map the issue occurs on and how to reproduce it quickly.

Tbh screenshots would probably get you an answer. Take a pic of your plugins and inform us which you’ve added before noticing the problem.

And maybe switch numbers too.

One possible easy-fix. Do you have any parallel processes (normal events or common events) or autorun events that rely on that switch and might be lock-in your game?

that is the normal result if you forgot to configure the plugins correctly.

a lot of plugins use switches and variables in order to allow events to configure their behaviour, and you need to tell those plugins which switches are still free (and then reserve those switches by naming them).
If you do not configure those plugins correctly, some switches will suddenly be used for multiple purposes, and that is exactly why they no longer work for you.

NEVER ignore a plugin after installation - you always have to check its properties and make sure it is configured correctly, or it has a high risk of breaking your project.

Ah, you're right Andar: a plugin I added to let players redecorate their home used switch seven. Changing that makes the game work again. Thanks for the tip!

I'm still getting some pretty serious lag in Rice Road Forest since the plugins, and I don't know why. I've attached the project files and a few screen shots of the plugins I've recently added below (the ones I recently added start with Yanfly's Quest Journal.) Rice Road Forest can be found by walking a short distance north of the starting point (about 15 secs). The game will take a while to load if you try it, but I'm not worried about the lag on the 'Made With MV' splash screen as I'll make my own eventually.

a partial list of plugins never helps, because most of such bugs are caused by interactions of several plugins.
and from what can be seen on that screenshot, your yanfly plugins are most likely in the wrong order, that could cause anything...

Ah, ok: I've updated the screenshots to show all of them. Should I reorder the Yanfly plugins to be in the same order as they are on his website?

you have to, or you'll never be able to know if they're working correctly.
and you should try to consolidate your plugins as well - it is always bad to have several plugins for the same functions installed, because that interaction might cause problems.

Ok, I'll do that too. Thank you so much for your help.
