A quick solution.. Delete the game folder from 0.40 and Copy the game folder from 0.41 and put in the update 0.40...it worked for me... Somebody gave this tip here earlier.
It might work for JOHN but not for other games. And it doesn't fix the actual problem.
I wonder if this is the problem related new renpy engine or just this game... Is there any other game you can suggest which has new renpy? So I can test where the problem lies...
There are a few (reported by other users and which I have tested):
Oopsy Daisy
Avalon
Family Affair
when lunching Ren'Py hold down Shift key or Shift + G
Doesn't work, because game does not launch.
try to use the game folder with the Ren'py Launcher 7.4.2 that has been updated 3 days ago
Stoper already use the latest Ren'Py SDK v7.4.2 for JOHN v0.41.

in any case upgrade the engine in a working progress game is not safe
I think there are a lot of problems...
I suggest to end the game and than start a new one with the new engine if you want to be sure about the udate remain compatible with the previous version

I liked the .4 and .41 update. The scene was the mayor was hot, 2nd best in the game just after the car scene with Mr. Parker.

Moving forward I sincerely hope there's less BF content, I believe 3 of the 4 scenes involved him in some way and frankly he's gotten stale. If you don't begrudgingly have sexual acts with him, the content of the game suffers so much.

While I also think Connor's scenes are too vanilla for my taste I'd rather see him stepping up his game than be gone completely. Wish he would smile more, talk dirty and take the initiative for once because I'd love to see Jessica being torn between him and the other guys. It's too easy to choose someone else for anything sexual at this point and for romantic scenes they don't have enough chemistry. They need to do something exclusive together, like visiting a gloryhole or inviting the neighbor for some DP action.

Hey there, I just downloaded version 0.41 (from two different links). When I start the game, i receive the 'John.Exe is not a valid Win32 app'. How come? I played 0.40 with no problems (and I love this game)

For those having issues, double-click the executable, then hold just the shift key. The game starts now with a debug menu. Change the render setting there and right click somewhere. You're now in the main menu of the game. The game probably won't work if you hit quit in the debug menu as it tells you to do.
