PC. And the logo literally flashes for a second and doesn't go any further. Doesn't even appear on task manager.



This is the only Ren'Py game it's done it on. I can play the latest Four Elements Trainer and Rogue-Like with no problems, just for whatever reason since the 20.10 update it won't work.
Audio device doesn't seem to be the issue either, tried it without headphones.
You said earlier it's been since 20.12 ... now you are saying its since 20.10?
To confirm, the last version of this game you played successfully was 20.9?

With Four Elements Trainer, are you using the normal download or the one for older hardware?

Do you remove everything and start from a fresh download or you try to copy/paste folders around when updating ? Might be a faulty download if it's the only game having problems. Or it might be something completely random no1 has ever witnessed and you'll have to debug it yourself

Did you see this splash screen after putting the patch rpa in the game folder?
View attachment 1712613
If you don't, then you might not have put the rpa in the right place.

If you do, why don't you share a screenshot or type why you think the patch isn't working? The patch updated 17 image files in the game, plus does a find/replace on certain names and phrases.

What image(s) and/or words/phrases aren't being altered for you?
I don't have this screensaver and I put the file in the game folder

I just downloaded v0.20.13 and the patch from both sources linked from the OP.
Without that patch, it is normal game.
With either patch, I get the same results. I do not see that splash screen either, which I find interesting. HOWEVER, my experience with each patch was successful - as seen from this image:

If you have tried deleting your entire install and the save files in %appdata%\renpy and then working from a new install and still get no result, you might just need to use your imagination while playing the game.

I downloaded v0.20.5 of Summertime Saga to see if there was a change with the Ren'Py versions.
Both v0.20.5 and v0.20.13 use
Ren'Py 7.3.5

Here's the difference:

Hmm this splash screen means that the patch works or I do not understand correctly?

The splash screen may or may not show if the patch is working correctly.

The image (did you click it to look at it?) I included in my last message shows the beginning of the story line with family descriptions for Debbie and Jenny (mom and sister) which shows that both patches linked on the OP worked - no matter which I used.

So the problem is on your end. Good luck.

Hmm interesting I have the same text in the game that you sent as a screenshot I have 2 versions now 1 in English 2 in Russian so this patch I applied to the English version of the standard and the second is not, but in the second version here is such text and sex scenes with his sister are displayed. strange I did not apply the same patch where they can be.

Translations shouldn't work with the wincest patch (since they both change text, doubt they did a Russian version of mom/sis just in case you used that particular language)

You are using srksrk 68 's . A search for the word "camera" in this thread would have brought up the following posts:
Hey guys, yesterday I installed Summertime Saga 20.12 + Naughty-Tribute 1.14. When I took a look on the cellphone-tool, I noticed two new button: a camera, and a book. The book is linked with an online walktrough, but for what the camera is fine?
As written in my thread: There you will find the screenshots you made in-game.

Searching this thread for "screenshot" answers the question with ALT+S or SHIFT+S
Searching the thread, similar answer.

Just about any question you might have about the game can be found in this thread using the search box in the upper right corner of any page of this thread. If you can't find it here, there is also a Summertime Saga Wiki linked on the OP. If it's something to do with any mod you have installed, you should search in the appropriate thread there or ask there if you don't find it..

Gotta wonder how people manage to miss blatant icons on the main menu. Is it that hard to click around and see what stuff do ? Not like you're gonna format your HDD by clicking around the menu in a pron game. Being too blind for the changelog link is another matter

Are there any traceback or log files being created in the game folder when it crashes like that?

Glad you found and fixed it. As said, make some screenshots and your gallery will no longer be empty. You can access it in-game with that phone icon you were wondering about, or from within the new button in the cookie jar.

Dude don't talk like this is a literature forum, 90% of the people who are here are here to jerk off. Don't be surprised next time
Dude, don't generalize the population based upon your desires. You don't have the data to back up your claim.

There is a lot of discussion on many threads on this site about the necessity for a story-driven experience in these games and VN. Otherwise, why have a game or VN - just go to pornhub or the like. This is about creating an experience and part of that experience is the writing,: conflict, crisis, resolution. Is everyone here for story? No. But 90% aren't here just to jerk off.

Ah is this what you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself that you are "having an experience" when you play? As well as the story is written the characters etc it remains a porn game. I don't criticize your opinion of playing do whatever you want but don't elevate yourself to those who just want to masturbate.
