I think that was already posted but i got an error when i start the game with Joiplay.
```
I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/_script/redistributable/ConfigParser.rpy", line 244: invalid syntax
raise TypeError, "first argument must be string or compiled pattern"
^

File "game/_script/redistributable/TransitionConditionSwitch.rpy", line 31: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?
print "Exception - TransitionConditionSwitch.per_interact - %s"%str(system.exc_info())
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

File "game/_script/redistributable/common.rpy", line 173: invalid syntax

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 8.4.1.25072401

Can anybody fix this error or knows how to solve it?
Thanks.

How exactly are you launching the game?
Are you double-clicking the .exe file (e.g., MCR2-32.exe), or are you opening the project through the Ren'Py launcher?

Have you extracted or decompiled any .rpyc files into .rpy files?
For example, using unrpyc or another tool?

Do you have Ren'Py installed on your system?
If yes, which version?

Are you trying to run the game through your own Ren'Py installation instead of using the included .exe file?

What operating system are you using?
(Windows / macOS / Linux)

Can you share the full error message you're getting?

Have you made any modifications to the game folder or its files?
Even small changes might affect compatibility.

In general, the errors you've shown indicate that the game is trying to run old Python 2-style code in a newer version of Ren'Py, which uses Python 3. This causes syntax errors like missing parentheses in print, or outdated raise statements.

Hi,
thanks for your answer. I use like all for my other windows games Joiplay on Android 15. For this game i get and got always error messages like i quoted . In Joiplay i have different plugin versions from renpy installed. Latest is 7.4.1. I edit in the game folder the script Version for other renpy versions (7.3.5, 7.7.1, 8.2.3, 8.3.7) too, but no version runs.

Thanks for the info! That explains everything.


The game was designed to run as a built Windows version using its own included Ren'Py environment. JoiPlay on Android doesn't always fully support games with older Python 2-style code or complex scripting.


Even though you're using various Ren'Py plugins (like 7.4.1 or 7.3.5), the game likely includes some internal code that simply isn't compatible with JoiPlay — especially if it's trying to execute .rpyc files directly or contains Python 2 syntax.


Editing the script version might not be enough — the code itself would have to be rewritten in Python 3 style, which is a big task.


Best recommendation: play it on PC if you can. If you're only using Android, this particular game may not work correctly under JoiPlay unless it's been rewritten or recompiled specifically for it.

I would stick with the models from MCR 1 and 2. Especially the hot blondes and the brunette agent. Just keep pushing out sex scenes with them instead wasting time on a new project. He will be just repeating the same mistakes, until he learns to write fresh and interesting scenarios...
He wasted already enough time on sidecharacters(the horrendous police station scene).
Whatever his decision will be , I hope the "schlongs" will not be so unnatuarly humongous...

In fact, Girls of House and MCR 2 already have excellent characters, such as Mia, Vanessa, Katya, Lida, and Olya. By far the best. A game with these characters is much better than messing around with other projects (which are released late and, because they're done on the fly instead of with the story finished, generate all the problems we've already seen). It's much more profitable to release a game where the characters from Girls of House and MCR 2 are mixed together, like in a Resort where the protagonist interacts with all of them. Furthermore, many scenes with secondary characters were the main cause of delays and loss of continuity. For example, everyone wanted to see Olya, and it took over a year to give her a leading role, and not even with intimate scenes like there were with Mia and Olya. Anyway, let's see if the latest update for MCR 2 turns out well (hopefully with 4 or 5 scenes).
