Lol you guys are awesome, thanks again for all the hints! So add to the list of things that didn't work:
- Disabling Integrated Graphics
- Installed in C: instead of program files
- Bios tricks
- Compatibility Mode
- Gaming mode was already enabled
And yes, quite possible I did get lost in the cleft of Amy's cleavage and recently came up for air...happens right?

I'm not an expert at graphics drivers, but I would make sure there are no updates pending for your drivers (start with the basics...). Just a sanity check there.

Dumb question 1: Have you tried playing WITH the onboard graphics? I play HI on an I5-3317U with Intel 4000, so it's not impossible. It would also rule out the card as the culprit.

It doesn't LOOK like the old graphics problem, so we'll pass on that for now (unless someone thinks differently?).

Can you confirm that in your preferences for the game you have either the manual size or 1280x720 active? I was able to force an "out of memory" when attempting the 1600x900 resizing with a resolution of 1366x768, but that was right at game start. The "log.txt" file in the root folder of the game would show this, so if you could attach one of those if may provide some insight.


After the first assignment of the medic, sperm cans do not appear in the inventory.
Even when you visit her? The doctor provides more when you need them...

OK so I tried running through Integrated Graphics and yeah it crashes and gives me that 100% spike as per the performance tab on task manager, similar to running through the Nvidia GPU. Also made sure that it's set at 1280x720. I've attached the log. Also gave the compressed versions of the game a shot, and yeah still crashes. Weird.

I play other games through Steam and Gamepass, and nothing else crashes like this game. Seems like the latest high res animations are doing my computer in, like the Desire night bar scene, the aforementioned Jennifer pec scene that will always crash, and any of the recent Amy scenes when you spend the night with her as well as arm wrestling reward are prone to crashing, though they're a little more 50/50.

OK, one possible thing - Open the game, hit Shift+G, and in the upper left instead of either "Auto" or "Force Angle...", pick "Force OpenGL". Select "Return", then quit and restart the game.

I have heard some rumors of Angle not working with some Notebook cards for weird reasons, so it's a longshot, but we'll see.

If it DOES NOT work, make sure to go back in and set the Renderer to what it was originally.

EDIT (2 parts): 1: Nvidia updated the 1660 Ti driver on 2/25. Might be worth checking if it's compatible (even if it doesn't have a bearing on this issue).
2: With the Shift+G option, you could also pick the "Force Software" option. While it will probably be choppy, if IT works it totally proves there's something up with your Ti.

Unbelievable, Force OpenGL worked! Your longshot paid off!! Thank you so much Zengarden! Everything renders, no shut downs, only thing was my screen got noticeably brighter after having turned it on so I had to change my TV's settings to dim the screen a bit. Could be a product of the TV, however.

So just curious, and I'm pretty ignorant on this stuff, but you said Force Software would prove something's up with my Ti....is it likewise true with Force OpenGL? Or is it just a less demanding way of rendering things? Wonder if I can just Force OpenGL on all my games to make them all a bit less taxing on this laptop which tends to overheat under load for actual gaming...

Again, thanks so much Zengarden, and thanks everyone who pitched in ideas, really appreciate it :)

At the risk of this being off-topic to the game (but certainly on-topic to the discussion):

ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is a library that sits between OpenGL and DirectX to "translate" the OpenGL commands to the hardware acceleration API available on the system, Direct3D being part of DirectX. It's supposed to be for WebGL in web pages (or at least was originally), but it's been used elsewhere along the way (I've never developed graphics applications, so someone may have better specifics). Your log showed the renderer chosen was Angle, so "Force OpenGL" removes the middleman as most graphics cards (Nvidia, Intel and AMD) now support OpenGL directly.

Since OpenGL works, the issue may be the drivers for the card or something with the ANGLE library on your PC (or maybe DirectX, for that check your Windows updates). darkhound1 may know something about how that works with Ren'Py and his game and his images (since you seem to have no issues in other games), but since we got it working I'd let him work on the game :).

If OpenGL did NOT work, but Software DID, I would be concerned something was corrupted on the card or driver since NO path to the cards commands was available.

NOTE: Again, this is based on a basic understanding of how this stuff works since I've not done it personally. I coulda just got lucky :geek:
