Hello
I am in windows 10 and the 0.55 version of this game. When I try to run it I get an exception error like this:
===========
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Before loading the script.
Exception: Couldn't find file '._music.rpi'.\

== then at the bottom after of the traceback ======

Exception: Couldn't find file '._music.rpi'.

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 7.2.2.491

============

I ran a different renpy game it runs. I did not see anthing in the discussion about this problem. has anybody else seen something like this?

looks like you missed the thread, as you missed the OS you have/playing on.;)

Any smart person here that can tell me what's up? It seems like half the games these days have these stupid errors and I have no idea if it's on my end or if the devs mess up.

Hello Abhai
here is the traceback
Thanks

thanks, hmm, it could be a corrupted renpy build.
did you have similar problems with some other renpy games (supposedly they all are in C/documents/)?
have you tried to download the game again (from some other file-host), or to use a compressed version?

Hello,
I down loaded a new copy using a different service, same error. I have seen this kind of error on another game too, but not many. I am wondering if there is a setting or somehing I do not have. Is there. a base installation for renpy games?

Very odd, since I seem to be the only one having this issue.

More investigation:
I found several renpy games that fail on starting. All wtih can't find some file. Others would load. I started looking at teh rnpy versions that did load, 7.2.2.491, 7.3.5.606, 7.3.2.320. I think this game according to the trace back uses that last one. It is not a version issue, not a can't run any renpy game issue, but something ins different in some of the games....

Nope, there is no need for any additional renpy installs, those renpy games usually come as all-included.
Yes, thats odd, particularly if you have those issues with a few games only, supposing all renpy games finished downloading ok, all were unpacked ok, and all of them are in the same directory c/documents..?
Could you try a compressed version, or any of those downloaded already (supposing you have them as rar/zip), to extract it somewhere apart the C partition (on D, E..)?
You could also check renpy version being used to compile/build game (text file named script_version in GAME/game/) and then try to replace complete renpy folder (GAME/renpy/) in game that doesnt load with renpy folder of the game that loads properly (compiled in the same renpy version). Regarding those versions, for renpy 7+ there usually should not be problems if you use a newer renpy scripts/files when replacing the older ones.

I have tried the normal version on several drives, same result.
I also tried replacing everything in one working renpy game with the game and other directory's / files from the full version, same error.

In Time Loop Hunter which I can run the normal the version, in the script file is (6, 99, 14, 3)

Just now I tested the crunched version, and it works!!!! yeah.....
I will look for crunched versions of the other games too, one of which is good girl gone bad,

I have now d/l 3 other compressed versions of games that would not run normally, all run.

Full disclosure, this is a mac running windows through bootcamp. As far as I know when booted to windows it is no different than a normal windows machine, except for this was all set up and loaded in the last few weeks with the latest windows 10 load I could get. I set this up becasue I was tried of rebuilding game versions for the mac, and some games, just could not get to convert. ;-)

Thank you for the help. Still odd though.
