RPG Maker MV has updated to version 1.6.1! Well, the beta version. You can either update it on Steam or get the standalone download from here. Overall, this is the second attempt to go back to 1.6.x, where RPG Maker MV will use updated Node JS. This will increase performance. Only this time, it looks to me like they’ve fixed the majority of the bugs (others either unknown or otherwise outside of their control).

A large number of plugins have been updated as a response to this, mostly in preparation for 1.6.1’s finalization.
