Making this post again because no one saw/replied to the last one I made so I ended up deleting it.

Ever since EP17 came out I cannot launch the game. When I do all that appears is just a black screen that never advances to the main menu. It just stays black forever until I force quit the game. I have tried downloading every update since then hoping that the issue would somehow be solved, but that hasn't been the case. I really have no idea what is causing the issue. I can boot up any other Ren'Py game and it works just fine. I have tried to find all associated files with the game and have deleted them thinking maybe something got corrupted, but still no change. Maybe I missed some so if someone knows of an easy to miss location where game files are kept I can maybe try to look there. If anyone can help out at all I would greatly appreciate it. It's been a bummer not being able to keep up to date with this game as I enjoy it quite a lot.

Edit: I play on PC.

you need to provide more info "im playing on pc" is far from being enough.
for example, are you using windows or linux, and which version?
your pc spec - poor, great, moderate?
what other renpy games can you play "just fine" (if this is the only one you have problems with)?
if you are starting fresh with every build (meaning deleting the old one and launching the new one from the new fresh folder with no traces of the previous build), and you arent loading old saves, there is no need to check for "corrupt" files elsewhere.

Here are my PC specs in the spoiler. I can't see any of this causing a problem but there ya go. As for other Ren'Py games that I can play, literally everything. This is the only game that I have this issue with. Just for posterity I'll list a few; Eternum, Grandma's House, One Day At a Time, Mythic Manor, MIST. Those are just a few I've played recently, but seriously I've never encountered any issues with any other Ren'Py game, only Away From Home. Yes everytime I download a new version I delete the previous version before launching the new one. Like I said this has been a reoccuring issue since EP 17 but I did download and try EP18,19, and now 20 just earlier today and they all do the same thing. I can't even load earlier saves, that's the whole problem. It won't even get to the main menu. As soon as I launch the game it just goes to a black screen and stays there, never progresses.

Have you tried deleting the saves from [user name]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\AwayFromHome-saves

yup, as pds72 pointed out - most probably rendering/graphic problem
try those recommended steps, and see if that resolves your issue.
if not, well, try to use some older pc, the one you are using atm is too high tech (per my standards at least)

You're a wizard! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had already deleted the save files in that location but I never knew about holding shift while the game was launching. That solved it! Just had to force it to use OpenGL instead of DirectX. Even swapped back and forth a couple times and it just refuses to work with DirectX.

Oh FFS, I get back after half a year and play the updated version, to see how every second sentence has to add MOM, MOTHER, YOUR MOTHER, MY MOTHER, MOM MY MOM, HIS MOM, and NOT HER NAME!
So I thought, HEY let's mod it so I don't HAVE to read repetitive shiit right?
WRONG now it's LANDLADY, you know the person the MC hasn't SEEN for 12 years is his LANDLADY, and STILL no name, she DOES have a NAME, doesn't she?
Lol it must be SO HARD to code in their respective names rather than cookie-cutting it to be one OR the other.
Save your facepalms btw, this is a rant, I am venting to a game that will NEVER change something as "Menial" as this, like a few others, I wonder if they take ANY advice or feedback.

Edit: a MAID lmfao one of these NAMELESS people are seriously labeled a fcking MAID, good old loyal MAID, and LANDLADY, we haven't met anyone NAMED "Next-Door-Neighbor" yet, how about that tried and true NAMED "Childhood Best Friend"!
Oh is there a pet in the nouse NAMED "Dog/ Pet/ Animal"?
I'm SURE we are going to meet someone NAMED BOSS, it's SO ODD how so many parents are mentally challenged to actually NAME their children like this, wow they much have had it ROUGH throughout school huh?
"Hey Next-Door-Neighbor, have you seen Childhood Best Friend around?"

There are 20 episodes so far,
How many more episodes the developer intends to make before the game finishes?

I support the game. five stars but as it stands now you get 3.5 stars. But I still gave it five stars.
look dude listen
criticism
1- your animations are mediocre
suggestion
Do something so that everyone who plays your game will look more sexy at the women they are interested in, kiss more sexy and make love more wild.
There are animations in the same rhythm for every woman, you break this taboo in almost all games! animations effects sounds very important
2-90% of the characters are mediocre, not beautiful, not sexy, not attractive.
suggestion
Don't make the characters sloppy hair color, skin color, eye color, make-up, clothes, so make improvements to the women you created in your spare time, except for laundry(mom), the characters should be much better, I like the last character, now I can't remember the name of that fat boy you made love to in the car woman with
3-don't mess with the son or cousin of the house while the main character is with other people's family, either it is secret or no man in the house is disturbed by it, showing the main character as dishonest or much worse
suggestion
Since the main character is an adult game, he can have sexual relations, but the main character is virtuous, fair, intelligent, funny but does not hesitate to use brute force when necessary.
General recommendation
Do not do anything you are not satisfied with, if it is not your signature, then you are an imitator.
thanks for reading

I haven't seen this bad of takes in a while, just no. The animations bad, you clearly haven't played many games on here to know what bad animation ACTUALLY looks like, and LI's not attractive? I would hate to see what you DO find attractive, maybe this is more your speed?

Spoiler: Warning - you may need eye bleach!

I am kinda new to this game....all i wanna know is are we heading into the mom/aunt 3some(or cousin/mom/aunt 4some)??? or is that already been rejected by the dev????

In the 3rd SS in OP, think that was the only 3-way. That is aunt and her friend. It is possible for a mom/aunt because in non-patch they are just friends, but aunt/cousin won't as they are mom/daughter. The cousin did say she'd include her friend, but we haven't seen the friend since.

why is MC such jerk to Cody? I kind of don't get it storywise. Cody was never bad to him, mc looks generally like a good guy... but he is basically a bully to Cody...

You can always choose the non-bully options with Cody if you're bothered by it.

I'm also not a huge fan of messing around with the cousin (except messing with Lily ), but dev seems to like it, and since Cody isn't a real person, it's not that much of a problem for me.
