Renpy issues.

[RaktaBlasta2018]

I'm having issues launching a few renpy games, Drivers are up tp date. the game doesn't even load to main menu. it just seems to be Renpy 7.5. is there a fix

Sat Dec 31 21:45:52 2022
Windows-10-10.0.19041
Ren'Py 7.5.0.22062402


Bootstrap to the start of init.init took 0.13s
Early init took 0.00s
Loader init took 0.14s
Loading error handling took 0.05s
Loading script took 0.77s

so you want our help but just post error log but not the name of the game

we need more information like

game name and hardware spec and does happen with other games as well???

it seems to bee just renpy 7.5 games. Renpy 8 works.

Then load RenPy 7.5 games with RenPy 8.0.x SDK.

Then load RenPy 7.5 games with RenPy 8.0.x SDK.

It will not works.

They are incompatible branches, one relying on Python 2.x, the other on Python 3.x. Therefore, there's risk that the game will not works, or at least not as expected.

As for the issue itself, since the GPU is recent enough, I guess that it's the usual (and yet unsolved) Windows 10 issue. And, well, it's unsolved

Sure it won't work if the game was compiled with RenPy 8.0.x and you try to load it with RenPy 7.5.x, but the other way around should work - at least it did, when I tested it with a game.

No, the compilation is absolutely not the issue.

Python 2.x and Python 3.x are not compatibles. There's not many differences, but even the most subtle are totally breaking ; like by example the way division works. As long as the game itself do not use Python code, or really basic bit of it, the risks are low, but it doesn't mean that you can switch from Ren'Py 7.5.x to Ren'Py 8.x, just that you are lucky.

As example, there's a game that was broken when PyTom started to introduce the transition to Python 3.x ; at this time it was possible to have Python 2.x behave nearly to Python 3.x, and it was enabled for this game.
The error was basic, the game relied on a division to define what image should be shown ; something like scene expression "girl/idle{}.jpg".format( love / 4 ).
Except that 3 / 2 is "1" in Python 2.x, and "1.5" in Python 3.x. This made the game search for images that weren't named "idle1.jpg", "idle2.jpg", but for images named "idle1.347679364.jpg", "idle2.6976646.jpg", and so on. And obviously, those image were missing.

Globally speaking, there's 60% chance that a game wrote for Ren'Py 7.5.x works with Ren'Py 8.x, but for the other 40%, it will be a hell to fix all the bugs you'll encounter. This even if you have a good knowledge of the difference between Python 2.x and Python 3.x

Alright I see. Let's hope the game he wants to play works with the latest version of 7.5.x or 8.0.x SDK.

Drop this file into the game's 'game' folder and try to launch it.
