Hey folks,
question, every time I download this game and run it, it runs fine for one time and one time only. The next time I start it, it stops after the splash screen loading bar hits ~90%. There's no error log, no crash log, log.txt doesn't show anything useful, nothing. Doesn't matter if I add the extra or other mods or not, if I unren it, even unrpyc it, run it through ren'py or as stand-alone, it only runs exactly once. Then some days later a fresh install might work again (rebooting doesn't make a difference), nothing really consistent :/
Have searched this thread but did not find much. Any ideas?
The only reasons I can think of are corrupted savegame/permanent files or write access problems.
1. go to your Appdata directory (I think %localappdata%), look for the RenPy diirectory and BBAS in it. Rename/delete the BBAS directory.
(edit: Also do that with the directors savegames in the game directory)
Try to start the game multiple times now, also create a savegame.
2. It
could be, that in our game directory you have the rights to create files, but not to modify them.
Make sure you put the game on a drive / in a directory where you have full access to without needing admin privileges.
This is a long shot ...
3. Last but not least it could be a question of special characters in your username or game directory name.
I had a norwegian customer where I could create files in his profile, but not run batch files. His name contained exotic characters and at that time I didn't know that batch files had to be encoded in IBM850.
I don't know how RenPy handles such names, but it could be worth a shot.
3.1 Also if the total lenth of a file name including it's path and separators exceeds 256 characters, many programs have problems with it, so make sure that the parent path of the game is not too long.
