VN Ren'Py Gynocracy [v0.9.2] [Brecleas]

[Bondage - James Bondage]

I was able to play the game a few time, but since a day I doesn´t work anymore.
The game starts, but the game window remains white. When I click on it again, I get “no feedback”.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

I have added the game to my exceptions in the antivirus program and the firewall, but to no avail.

Here is what the log.text file says:



I can open the game in the Norton sandbox mode without any problems, but I can't save any savegames in the sandbox.
Or is there a way to save permanently in sandbox mode? I couldn't find anything on Google.

I see in your message "Steam is probably not running." Maybe that is your problem. If that is the case you can try download the version on page 1 of this thread.

I use only the download from page 1, nothing from Stream.
I also only start the game from the downloaded folder. Even if I run Steam in the background, this does not change the problem.
I don't know if you can link the game in the version from page 1 with Steam? The game was already running without Steam in the past.

Steam is not required. Have you tried waiting for some time? The initialization scans game files, and if something (antivirus...) interferes with the process, it could take a very long time, during which the process will appear non-responsive.

Yes, I waited several minutes but to no avail.
I have added Gynocracy to my exceptions in Norton 360 and Windwos Defender, but the problem is still there.

The sad thing is, when I start the game in safe sandbox mode, the game loads immediately within a few seconds. The big problem with sandbox mode is that you can't permanently save savesgames.

I sometimes have that problem with Renpy games, but as I have more apps running at the same time I have to close those and then it runs smoothly. Sometimes restarting your computer can help also.

You can try to do a marathon run of the game from the beginning to the end without saving .

Then I pity John, the main character

I already had the same idea

After hours of trial and error, I found the solution:

I had to delete all the data under “AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Gynocracy”.
Then I had to restart the game with the “Shift” key pressed and change the graphics settings, save and restart.
Now it works again. I had to test several settings after pressing Shift until it finally worked.

I don't even dare to close the game anymore, lest I have the problem again afterwards

Needless to say, I updated all the hardware and software drivers, but that had no success in getting the game to run in the intermediate steps.

By deleting that folder you have deleted the backups of all your games in RenPy , inside that folder were the individual folders of each game to delete only this one.

I have also had to use the hidden "shift" a few times, these games can run in two different renderers, Open GL and ANGLE, PCs without dedicated GPU or with a very old one usually solve the lag problems using Angle2.

Strange for me: The default setting for graphics was set on Automatic. And it always worked with this setting. Why did I have to change this to make it work again, as I didn't change anything until the error occurred?

PS: I only deleted the AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Gynocracy folder, not all the others
