RPGVXAce.exe is unpacked wrongly (SteamStub x86 2.1 issue) #154
Description
Steamless, version 3.1.0.5 (unmodified), found in releases, claims it succesfully unpacked RPGVXAce.exe. See screenshot below:
However, it turns out that something is broken.
When I load in a project file into this software, the program crashes.
I tried to replace the original with the unpacked exe, renaming it; this resulted in the same problem.
I'll attach the original exe file.
Some data:
The program's name is RPG Maker VX Ace. It is an upgraded version of RPG Maker VX, which you have already tested. It is a tool used to make games.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/220700/RPG_Maker_VX_Ace/
The tool was offered up for free, but I bought it a while back on Steam. It is currently for sale for a week. 90% off, in case you need the whole thing.
I used Steam's validation feature to fix the mess I made. I should have probably backed up the original exe indeed.
