Only Windows XP users are fucked by the new RenPy 7.4.x version all other users are fine. RenPy SDK doesn't do anything on your computer, other programs like Steam, Adobe, ASUS software etc. are far more dangerous than RenPy SDK.If you have a shitty older computer like me and have problems playing the vns using this new renpy version I know of one trick that doesn't include downloading a bunch of shit and messing with other programs.
Your "trick" doesn't work for major RenPy updates eg. RenPy 7.3.5 -> RenPy 7.4.x, because since v7.4.0 RenPy bundles scripts files into a file named "scripts.rpa". RenPy v7.3.5 can't read this "scripts.rpa" file - that's the reason why you have to use UnRen first. Afterwards you can backport the game to an older RenPy version that still use software instead hardware renderer.If you have the last update delete everything in the game folder. Copy the new updates game folder and then paste it into the last update.
And not everyone is a hoarder who keeps older versions before downloading a new update.
However, your trick works for games that use the same major RenPy version (v7.4.0 -> v7.4.8).
Imo it sucks more that users don't know shit about their systems and aren't capable fixing minor problems on their own. Sometimes it might be tricky but there is always a solution.Fucking sucks devs changing Ren'Py versions mid game but so far that trick works.
