Just a guess, but I suspect Ren'Py 8 has stopped supporting Win 7? I have no clue though, that's just my guess.

I think you installed windows 32 bit. As far as i know some games here can't run on windows 32 bit without 32 bit .exe .

I don't know what your problem is. Have you tried running it in administrator mode?, or tried another compatibility mode?

The problem is Windows 7. RenPy uses Python 3 since Version 8.x and LoF is Ren'Py 8.0.2. Windows 7 is to old to handle Python 3. If you consider how many security gaps Windows 7 has, which are now known and which will never be closed because Microsoft no longer releases updates for them, you should no longer use this operating system anyway.
so its been over 6 months and I think I'm finally emotionally stable enough to talk about the shit this game ended up helping me get through. so I guess the best place to start would be that I've never played a game that had me invested in the characters as much this one, I was so invested it actually hurt so much when Cece tried to kill herself the second time I cried through that entire event, it almost felt like someone close to me had tried to commit suicide and I actually had to process the grief that came with it. that experience somehow ended up helping me process the emotional turmoil I ended up going through when less than 4 months after completing the game a friend of mine tried to take her own life, she survived and is doing better now, but somehow what I experienced playing through the final portion of this game helped me stay stable enough to offer her my support during her recovery instead of breaking down into an emotional mess.
so thank you DriftyGames for making this masterpiece of a game that ended up helping me through one of the worst times of my life.
and remember everyone your life is a precious thing if not to you than it is to someone else, so please if you ever think of doing such a thing, think of what it would do to those who care about you because weather or not you can see it I can guarantee there is someone out there that will grieve for your loss, and if you just need someone to rant at, then I'm sure anyone of us here would be willing to listen.

This illustrates a point I made earlier in the thread perfectly. If they could make a modified version of the game that removes all of the sex and other R/X-rated content, but keeps the basic storyline, I think it would be an excellent tool for High School health classes as part of their lessons on suicide prevention. This game is more powerful than anything some celebrity could say in the usual videos they show in class.
Agreed. I loved music from both so much that I ended up using the music restoration mod but changing my script files to be a mix of my preferred songs from each version.
I'm currently between playing other large completed games (trying to decide what's up next) spending time trying some in-progress games but I'm considering finishing another route in LoF before moving on since I realized I haven't done a playthrough this year. I did the Cece route in 2022, all Lexi and Holly route variants in 2023, and so it's about time to pick it back up for this year's soon. I still have at least Linda and Steph routes that I really wanted to do. No matter how well I know the story I always need to be in the right headspace and have some extra time to put aside to play again.
You sure that's the issue? I'm on Win11 now (love the machine, hate the OS) but I played LoF versions 1.0c and 1.031s (Steam), both of which use Python 3, on my old Win7 machine without any issues.
That is honestly something I wanted to mention but didn’t think I should bring it up as part of what I had to say in that post, thinking on it now I probably should have.

It's alright. It's been brought up a few times, and Drifty even flirted with the idea briefly, but I guess he decided against it in the end.
Interestingly, one of the games I play (Mythos) just announced their final steam version would have a "Faux-SFW" switch you could turn on in the settings ... I added the "faux" cause I don't remember if it removes all NSFW content or just full-on sex scenes, and I think it just skips them (That said, I don't actually remember if there's any NSFW content outside of those scenes either, now that I think about it.)
Still, this is just a switch you can turn on and off in the settings, it's not a separate version of the game, but still found the timing amusing.

I'm sure you used the 32bit version which is compiled with Ren'Py 7.4.11 which uses Python 2. Since Leap Of Faith V1.0 the 64bit version is Ren'Py 8.0.2 as Drifty stated in the Changelog from 09/09/2022.
Dunno - I booted up the old Win7 system to check. The versions I mentioned run as 64 bit and the log file reports "Ren'Py 8.0.2.22081402" and script version 8.0.2.
I may be missing something here though (I'm not really familiar with which versions of Renpy or Python are compatible with which versions of Windows anymore) and I have no idea if the current version posted here is different from the versions I tried. All I'm saying is that for me the latest version from Steam (as well as the old 1.0c non-steam build) still works fine on Win7 64bit.I see a few devs making that. They call it ''Streamer mode''

Maybe the Windows 7 installation version is not the latest, try looking for the latest updates.Dunno - I booted up the old Win7 system to check. The versions I mentioned run as 64 bit and the log file reports "Ren'Py 8.0.2.22081402" and script version 8.0.2.
I'm going to assume Sancho's mod does not work with the latest version? And the search feature on the site keeps giving me errors. I wanna play this but I'm lost without search.
Or am I better off as this game is seemingly gonna take me into depression? :")
