The issue that you're experiencing is likely due to running a 32bit OS, such as an old copy of Win7 or XP. Sadly, you'll never be able to run x64 versions, because they're designed to be ran on x64bit operating systems. Right click on your computer icon on your desktop and select properties. There you'll see if you're running a 32 or 64 bit OS. The only way to resolve this issue is to upgrade your Windows. Understandable if you don't want to or can't, if you're using a really old laptop, for instance.

Im running a x64 OS, I could play normally, one day suddenly it stopped working when i click on game exe. It tries to load but it doesn't open.

Okay, I'll probably be proven wrong again, but maybe you're running 64bit Win7, that isn't supported by newer Ren'Py versions? If not, it's possible that you need to update something pertaining to Python, Ren'Py is very much dependent on it. A lot of people run pirated OS and shun from Windows updates. Alternatively, it could be file corruption, a permissions issue, or something else entirely. Ren'Py does create a .log file if something goes awry. One should be present in the root directory of the game folder. Go see what error it gives you. Maybe you'll understand what went wrong by reading it, otherwise post it here and we might be able to provide more insight.

I immediately noticed 2 things. The first one is the following line. Faled to initialize steam: AttributeError("function 'SteamAPI_SteamIPAddress_t_IsSet' not found") Perhaps this has something to do with the game version? Maybe, if it was taken from Steam, it hasn't been cracked correctly if it had incorporated some kind of DRM? No idea what the 32bit one would work then. Perhaps some weird conflict. The second is this line nvdrs: b"Couldn't load nvlib." (can be ignored) - something about NVIDIA drivers or settings, I don't know the details.

Try running a 64bit version of some other Ren'Py game, maybe one you've never played before. You can find plenty of small Ren'Py games on the site. This is to test if it's a broad issue or if it's specific to that game. If you've done this already, it might be a driver issue. Try updating your graphics drivers. Perhaps you even enabled some kind of profile or setting for some other game that you played, that for whatever reason isn't compatible with Ren'Py? See if you can save your current graphics profile settings, then reset to default and see if that changes anything.

Nah, the Steam and nvdrs warnings are normal and don't prevent running.

I'll second checking graphics drivers - there should be more to the last paragraph in the log. Like this:

it's interesting that the exact same thing with the exact same logs happened (happens) to me, so i'm waiting for someone to help with this issue, because so far it has no practical solution that i know of.

Same thing for me. Worked just fine for years and then stopped and seems to be graphics card or drivers related. I am however using the PC in RDC only (from my laptop) - that PC is like a media server without a monitor.

Wow. I'm on W7, recently RPGMaker games can't start because of googlechome plugin and whatnot. You're telling me it's the case with Renpy game too?

Wouldn't surprise me, W7 support is dropping across the board. But it looks like he's running windows 10, even if it's an old version from back in 2020.
