I apologize for offending you. It's a very typical support scenario when people have done something that caused software to break and are so ashamed about it that they refuse to admit it to support, even if the admission would help solve the problem immediately. This particular scenario just made it so blatantly obvious that the file had been edited that I couldn't hold my tongue. Again, sorry.Who's pretending ? Did I say at any point that I hadn't ? I edited options.rpy to enable the console... As much as I appreciate the help, you might want to skip the patronising attitude. And no, I admit I don't know what to "fix" I admit to that .. What puzzles me most is the fact that since enabling the console the game has been quit and restarted several times with no problem... Also, it's been mentioned that there is now incorrect spacing in the Python script.... And since I know I never altered it, it's something of an enigma.
As for what actually caused the problem, I blame Notepad++. It probably got tabs and spaces mixed up, and Ren'py really doesn't like that. It might have "fixed itself" if you saved the file again or something. As you say, it's something of an enigma. These things can be pretty frustrating.
