Can't save or load RenPy

[AtomicKilo]

I posted about it months back in the thread for the game but it didn't seem like the dev team was able to solve it yet. Started having this issue with Academy34 were I would load up the game to the main menu but the save or load menus would give me errors and I couldn't properly use them.



I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Does the game work when pressing new game? Maybe your old saves are not compatible with the newest version.

I could start a new game, I wasn't able to save to a new slot or anything, the errors would pop up and basically lock me from doing anything with those menus

If this is an issue only happening with that specific game, then chances are it is probably a game bug on your current version, see if there is an updated version or a game fix in the game thread, if not ask for help there.

Hmm, the error come from the game itself, but difficult to tell from where it come since the line numbers do not correspond anymore to something logical in the code.

The error can possibly refer to the (10+ years out dated) use of ImageReference, that would be recognized as a displayable and not an image. But then the error should happen to everyone, not just you.
Try the last version perhaps that it will works.

Just tried the latest update and I'm still getting the errors

If you are the only person having this issue maybe you have a corrupted savefile that is messing with the game, try cleaning all your cache.

Delete the entire game folder from your appdata:

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\ACADEMY34-v*

As well as the save folder inside the game itself:

..\game\saves

Then try again with a new game.

That was what I wanted to try but I had trouble finding the folder at all the other day, just checked again and I got it this time. Got rid of the original and extracted a new updated version and so far I don't seem to have those issues anymore.

Thank you guys very much for the replies
