i did several times but it wont work
Game is working when its rar file but it wont work when i extract file. As you see that error shows up:FacePalm:
Putting games in your OneDrive directory is not a good idea. OneDrive is only meant for transferring data.

Rename the folder "?????" use Latin and numbers
That's his user name. Ren'Py or the .exe launcher doesn't display it properly. Maybe it's just missing characters in the font.


Does Ren'Py use Unicode? It should not be a problem then.


sharingan But try to extract the game files to a different directory anyway, like d:\Games

i couldnt find that ???? folder but i got idea with help ur comment. I create a new folder and put game to that folder.It worked
Thanks for help <3
Do NOT try to rename that folder (you won't be able anyway). This is your users home directory. Either Ren'Py hides your user name for privacy reasons or it's just a display error.
Folders like "??? ???" don't exist, the character is just a place holder.

Yeah i figure out that ???? was my username but i dont have any idea why my username is like that. The game folder was on my desktop. So i changed folder place and put it in Downloads folder and it worked

There can be several reasons for that. Most likely because Ren'Py uses a different character set or hides the name in screen shots, who knows.
The screenshot showed that the game was in the OneDrive folder, so I guess you have onedrive set to synchronize your desktop. But that's just a guess.

Glad that it worked.

ps: If you don't use OneDrive in the first place, deactivate it. It just consumes disk space.

for starters SHORTER path like d:\games\photohunt and trying w/o language mod.
The path is ok, it's just over a 100 characters. Up to 200 should be no problem at all. File paths up to 256 characters (including file name) are supported.

But problems with a mod ... that sounds about right :)

I thought the update was supposed to be coming at the beginning of August? Any time after the 10th and I would argue that we're closer to the middle of the month than the beginning. Any news on its release?

Edit: hmmm... I went back and looked at the post. Looks like they were aiming to start testing on the first days of August. I'm not sure if we have a date for release. If someone knows I'd be interested.
