RPG Maker MV - v1.6.1 Beta

Hi everyone,

We have now released version 1.6.1 in beta.

Based on currently stable v1.5.2, v1.6.1 updates nw.js and fixes 2 outstanding bugs.

To select it:
- Open up your Libray / Software section
- Right click on RPG Maker MV and open up the properties menu
- From the BETA tab, enter the password "openbetatestbranch" and click on OK
- Select v1.6.1 from the "Select the beta..." dropdown
- Steam will update, and you can check that the update is complete when RPG Maker MV displays as RPG Maker MV [v1.6.1] in you software list.

We would like to remind everyone to make sure to do the following steps before updating to ensure that when the update happens so your changes won’t be overwritten:
  • Backup your game! This is important!
  • If you haven't already, set RPG Maker MV's update to manual instead of automatic.
  • Make a backup of your Generator folder if you edited it.
  • Replace BGM files if you got it from 1.3.0.


V1.6.1 fixes:
  • Update nwjs to version 0.29.0
