Just additional information when I open the "log" which I'm guessing is a launch log, it is empty. I don't know if that helps anyone with suggestions on how I can get this running. I looked on Google and couldn't really find anything that helped.
It does feel like lovebombing at times, but given how she just blurts out "I love him" at the therapy session – followed by the most beaming smile I've seen Els show – I think it's genuine and not a deliberate deception. She's just in that "head over heels" stage of starting a new relationship where "love madness" makes a person feel like they are on cloud nine.
Do other Ren'Py games also have this same problem, or is it just STWA that fails to start? In either case, you should make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, since that can cause this issue
Win + R
cmd.exe
C:\Games\STWAUnbroken-P7\TheUnbroken.exeIt seems to be just this game and City of Broken Dreamers also did the same thing. When I bring up the cmd.exe it has C:\User\Admin. Does that matter? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to programs. I apologize
something is preventing game.exe to load, it can be antivirus or microsoft defender.
Don't worry about the command line stuff if you're not familiar with it. If you've followed through the other troubleshooting steps I gave (to rule out display drivers and path issues), then it's probably like cxx said and you should rule out your antivirus stopping these games from running.
I'm playing my main save path as Elspeth "exclusive", but the only way I can think to stop the player from feeling shitty would be to put the other LIs into the friendzone early on in the game. Otherwise, turning them down after they've fallen for the MC is very difficult I'm finding.
At last, my physics degree might actually be worth something! Now I just have to find a way to apply this!
Friendzone the other LIs is the most difficult thing to do in the game, shoot em down but they keep coming forward again and again.
It really did. The LIs have always had a tendency to be pretty forward but it felt a little over the top in this one. Especially with Ines, when exactly did they get so close? She goes from barely being able to show her breast on vacation to hold on while I get completely naked and rub myself all over you oh and by the way I'm totally cool with you cumming all over my face. That part at least felt like the dev may have known he waited entirely to long to progress things with her so he just kind of did. I also thought it was odd that if you are pursuing both of them the MC wakes up with his head in Ines' lap and Vi lying next to them in her underwear and thinks nothing of it?
