It's probably a driver issue. Seems to happen more with high end computers for some reason. Check this guide.
I did follow all these directions, and got nowhere.

Fished an old Windows tablet PC out of a cabinet -- a tablet! -- and played the game fine. So I'm caught up, and not pestering for a fix.

But more than a few people seem to be having these issues. With, as you say, high end computers.

I extracted the RPA and loaded the game in Renpy 8.0.3 and forced the Render GL2, the improvement was immense, the game is super smooth, even the lag when changing name that I mentioned before is gone.
That's it, it worked for me.
I recommend everyone to test it, especially DEV.

PS: My save loaded without problems.

if you'd make a bit more detailed step guide for that, it'd probably be appreciated, as it stands now - its like:

Step 1: UnRen
Step 2: ???
Step 3: ???
PROFIT

:D

Can anyone help me with this?
I've been stuck in these events with Priti for months, I even tried to restart the game from scratch, but it's a lot and it gets tiring with these lags.
I'm on the non-punishment path with Priti, is that the problem?

Edit:
About the lag, it's not just with images, I just changed my character's name, and it was super slow to write the name. I tested the render options but didn't feel any difference.
(Ryzen 5 1600AF, 24GB RAM, RTX2060 12GB, game on SSD)
What does the clue say when you click on those? (On the right of the screen).

1 - Extract all RPA from the original game, and delete the RPA. (Make a backup!)
2 - Create new project in Renpy SDK. (Any name)
3 - Delete the folder named "Game" from your new project.
4 - Copy the folder named "Game" from the game "The Headmaster" and paste it in the folder of your "new project".
5 - In Renpy SDK, launch the game. (No need to compile the game)
6 - With the game open, use Shift + G to change the Renderer, I used GL2, see which one is best for you.
7 - After changing the renderer close the game, and open it again.
8 - Profit!?

I switched to the punishment path with Priti, and finally the rebel appeared.
Solved!

1 - Hint: Follow the student quest log for Priti. You will only see this scene if you chose certain options for Priti.
2 - Hint: Follow the student quest log for Priti.

UNLOCKED EVENTS =
1 - Priti's Desregard for the Rules.
No hints.

2 - Baking in the Buff.
Hint: This scene will have different dialogue depending on the choices you made.
PS: It is written "dialouge", there is a grammatical error here. ^^

honestly the places this is uploaded to are a fucking joke, all of them fucking slow and mega is limited size

anything beyond a few GB simply isn't going to work on free download services well, offer a torrent.

Mixdrop does it in 2-3 hours, the time you spend on waiting to get a torrent link even mega could download it on the second go.

I almost download all files via torrent today. I usally have more than 10MB/s sometimes even near the upper end of my bandwith limited. Go either direct to or wait until one of them (Daxter250, rpdl, LoneRanger11 or who else is also on there) post it in the threads.
If you have questions, you can ask them or go into their thread: https://f95zone.to/threads/rpdl-net-discussion-questions-torrents.96535/

13.2 windows version

running on 8 GB ram computer

crashes when switching to a different view when spanking Lucy the maid (version 12 always crashed here, also)

crashes when inserting dildo in Rachel at the end of the punishment session when she is level 7

crashes when watching porn movies with Rachel, for example: watch japanese porn, then when switching to handjob, crash!

It probably crashes at other places, too.

After the third crash, I gave up for now.

So, it is crashing not only on the high end new computers.

It seems to me 1 grafic is missing according to this error, (only in replay?) :

THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN UPDATED. CHECK PAGE 305.

Hmm... Okay, so I did this. Mostly because I was bored because I saw some people confusing the girls.

There's info. on all the girls. If you click you'll see these questions answered:
1. Where can you find her?
2. Can you see her naked?
3. Can you punish her?
4. Can you have sex with her?

There are some events I didn't take into consideration, like the "first dream" scene. Everyone (except for Ada) is there and the "How to Discipline a yong woman" scene ("HTDAYW" from now on) 'cause everyone is there. I mentioned "HTDAYW" only if there's something worth mentioning. There are other events, like the class when Donna teases Debbie and get punched, or the scene where Debbie gropes Nurse Robinson (A scene that I haven't seen) that cannot be replayed so I couldn't see who was there. If you notice an error, or you want to add info, just let me know. If this is deemed useful I can update it when the time comes.

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A WALKTHROUGH. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD ONE ALREADY.

Edit: I added some things I had missed for Maxine and Faye.
Edit 2: In case anyone is wondering; Girls in the the ending scene "The student revolt": Maxine, Charlotte, Debbie, Liz, Cassandra, April, Nina, Harriet, Alice, Rachel, Emily.

Here I go...

Buy a fucking VPN, and protect yourself from downloads off pirate site; plus your downloads will take a fraction of the time.

The pre load explanation also does not explain why some people have lag and some do not.
Good point. Still odd that it seems to be linked to choices, which is precisely where preloading struggles.

I extracted the RPA and loaded the game in Renpy 8.0.3 and forced the Render GL2, the improvement was immense, the game is super smooth, even the lag when changing name that I mentioned before is gone.
Using the newest version of Ren'Py is generally a good idea. Looking at the changelog I spot an interesting fix in 8.0.2.
An issue that could cause excessive CPU and memory usage when a store had large number of variables in it has been fixed.
No idea if this might affect the lag when mixed with certain hardware/drivers, but either way it sounds like a good fix.

Will you be updating the mac version for this game anytime soon? I miss running this school :)
Many moons ago I converted a windows only Ren'Py game to mac. I can't remember what precisely I did, but it was something like the approach to upgrade Ren'Py yourself. You can try the approach mentioned below and use the mac executable instead of the mentioned exe. Odds are that it will work, but I will point out that Ren'Py has been updated a lot since I did this and as such I haven't tried it with the version you can download now.

This shouldn't be specific to The Headmaster and as such if you can get it working, then you should be able to get any game made with Ren'Py to work on mac even if it's not released for mac.
