Make sure the game isn't inside folders with special characters like ö, á and so on.

Drop the game directly on C:/ and see if it starts there.

Check for more info.

Hmm... The log file show no errors.

"Importing _renpysteam: ImportError('No module named _renpysteam',)"
This is normal for games not intended to be played with Steam support.

"nvdrs: "Couldn't load nvlib." (can be ignored)"
As said, this can be ignored.

Could not open 'cache/shaders.txt':
And that is not really an error. It happen for any game that are launched for the first time, and Ren'Py just build the missing file, like it do for all the possibly missing cache files.


Is it really all you get ? You start the game, and it do nothing, show nothing, just filling the "log.txt" file before silently dying ?

Hmm :/

Perhaps a permission issue, but I have some doubt. The last line of the log file is telling that Ren'Py is ready to display something (what can be an error message at start-up), therefore it's really not normal that it display nothing at all.
At this time, the only possibility is an error that directly crashed Python. I know that there's few persons that have this issue, but so far no one was able to find what it is, sorry.

Your not trying to launch those games from inside the zip/rar file are you? I'm asking because I have actually seen people do that before.
