Which system are you playing on? I don't know all the details but I've heard that Macs have a harder time playing RPG Maker games than PC.

 

Is there an error message between the game opening and disappearing, or does it just disappear?

When you load up Spork 8, due to enabling debug mode, you have to wait a couple seconds to process all 380+ maps and then the the loading save will pop up.

At the top of the game.exe screen where the Pokemon Spork text is, did you see anything about the maps processing before it closed?

 

Also I edited out the second screenshot of your post because one of the server icons shown with your discord in the background looked NSFW

After loading all 380 maps it should say:

 

”One or more fonts used in this game do not exist on the system.

 

The game will be played, but the look of the game’s text will not be optional.

 

To install the necessary fonts, copy the files in this game’s Fonts folder to the Fonts folder in control panel.”

 

Then you’ll be on the load save screen.

If you have an Android you could try Joiplay, though I wouldn't be able to offer any assistance with any issues relating to the app. It would narrow down whether it's because of debug though, since from what I've seen debug isn't enabled when playing on Joiplay. If it does work on Joiplay than it's likely debug, although if it doesn't I wouldn't have any ideas since this is the first time this has been reported.

 

If you don't have an Android: I'm not sure if it's specifically because of debug, but for the next reupload I've changed how debug works; it won't be enabled by default but instead can be switched on and off by speaking to a tree in Pokemon Centers, if you don't have an Android and are okay with waiting until the next reupload to try again.

Or, alternatively if you still have the zipped Spork 8 folder, try extracting the entire folder.

 

But before you do that you delete the previous Spork 8 folder first, otherwise the screen will ask you if you want to replace 13,000+ files from that folder.

Wait, playing Spork 8 is possible on iPhone?! What app did you use to play this?

I think they meant since they have a iphone, they'll try the file extraction suggestion for PC since Android is needed for Joiplay

Sometimes you just have to create a new folder for Pokemon Spork and copy everything from the previous folder to the new one. It happened to my brother once with another fan game and this method worked. You should test it out
