no regular version and i have tried deleting the game and redownloading
Download the Universal RenPy Mod, extract and place the RPA-File in the game subdirectory of your game. After starting and loading a old game, you will be able to start the mod by pressing <ALT> + <M>. After the short message about the mod, the mod's main window should look like this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
At the right top, there are some chars (R P O U W), at least the char O should be green, R shouldn't be green but red. The other ones do nothing if enabled or not.
On the left top you will find the search bar, insert images_sexting_4xx (exactly like this, all lowercase as RenPy differentiates between upper and lower chars) and click on the search button. Now it should look somehow like this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
For me, Faye is the first one listed (could be other on your result list), if you found her, you can click on the small arror showing right beside Faye's entry left of list in the column Value (is should say 2 items like in the pic):
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Normally, is should show the indices of the pics which will be sent during sexting, Faye can send 2 pictures with the indices 400 and 401 (the numbers will be used in the code to adress the right picture).

Take a look at this first, if the indices are missing, there could be a problem generating the arrays during initialization of the game. If not, we can continue to the next step of troubleshooting.

A small warning: PLEASE, DO NOT CHANGE ANY VALUES HERE USING THE MOD, IT COULD BREAK THE GAME. Use it only for others helping you, if you want to change values, use the mod on the initial post of this game.

Keep in mind the last BOLD statement. If you are not 100% certain about what you are doing, trying to change or mod any of the game's coding is a disaster waiting to happen. Far better, at least in my opinion, to wait until darkhound1 releases v.0.3.8.1 which will be a bugfix and more than likely address the issue. He has already posted on his Patreon page that the release will be in the next day or two.

Yep, this is why i wrote the line, but in his case, he has a problem that shouldn't be (i once had a similar problem, there was an initializing failure and some array wasn't created properly). If it's like i assume, he has to start his game again, losing all the progress he made until now in his save. Loading the save, even after a fresh install won't do a reinitialize if some data is missing, so also the 0.3.8.1 won't help.

Upload a save game with this problem and I will have a look. I need a message I can open to check the black image.

I think that the android version got the fixes, but there wasn't anything that necessitated a bug fix immediately since a lot of bugs were fixed before the release. When the next update comes out we'll get the fixes.
I'll send out a thank you to all the Beta testers for their hard work finding stuff that didn't work right. Also, a word of thanks to the Creator who quickly fixed the problems so the update could be released to all of you as quickly as possible.

(Note that while I was a Beta tester, it was the other guys who did the heavy lifting.)

I don't know what you did, but it works perfectly normal on my system when I create a new message for Faye.
Open the console and type this:
faye.add_queued_sexting(500,509,1)
After that wait half an hour and a message from Faye should pop up including a working image.

Took a quick look at your savegame yesterday, seems that some pics are expected as JPG (but they are all WEBP), didn't find the source of the error as the pic including the file format is normally checked to exist.

Can only happen if the message was created with an earlier version of the game where the image was still in jpg format.

I also thought so but as i saw, you made a function to make sure the file exists, no matter of the extension. How i read the code, you only set up the index numbers for the pic and join the link when showing the pic (i didn't found anything where the whole link is stored), so also using a save from an old version shouldn't break like this.

But my best advise is, like i always do when the new version is released, start a new game and enjoy from the beginning (also called the MS Windows solution ;)). This will prevent the run from inconsistencies cause of changes made in the new version.

The full image path including the extension is created when the message is send. So if the message is send with a game version that still had jpg images and you try to open it when the images have been converted to webp, you get a blank image.

OK, missed this, thought is is created when opened (Not to myself: never look at code when you are tired). So, like i said already, best way is to start a new one. Thanks for information.
