I know. I've been reading. It was getting nowhere. That's why I jumped in.
A log file won't generate the issue. The log file will TELL US the issue. That's why I'm asking for it. All renpy games will output a crash log file. That's what I'm asking for. Those logs have tracebacks that will give better details than "file not found."
I know, but just because they're harmless in this situation doesn't mean they can't be an indicator of bigger things. As I've already outlined in my previous posts.
Why do you think I'm the one that's assuming (and, somehow doing a "nu-uh, you") when you seem to think it has to be this game when Adilsary1 explicitly has said that ALL HIS OTHER RENPY GAMES HAVE PROBLEMS TOO?
Like, not only did I use to do tech support for a living, I actually have a computer science degree. You don't troubleshoot by throwing random solutions and hope you get lucky. You get more info to try to narrow down what the issue is. And the best way to do that is to GET THE LOGS.
At this point, we can't even know for sure that Adilsary1 truly turned off his antivirus when he tested. Do you know how many antiviruses/antimalware will give you the option to "turn it off" but not actually turn it off? How many run at the kernel level and can't truly be turned off until you reboot? That's excluding the fact that in the cheat injector threads I maintain, I frequently get people who I help troubleshoot go " I turned off my antivirus and it's still a problem." only for them to come back and go "Sorry. I thought I turned it off. Turns out I didn't." I even had one that had 2 antiviruses installed and didn't realize it. And he had only turned off one of them, which caused the issue.
Hell, at this point, it's completely possible that his computer was compromised beyond what his antivirus can scan and it's prevent all python scripts/compiled binaries from running because it itself runs on python and running another python instance would make the compromise apparent. We. Don't. Know. So we need logs.
And, honestly, if
adilsary1 has more than 1 computer, I would say, drag the original game files over to the other computer and run it there. If there's no problem, then you know the problem isn't a corrupt download and is isolated to the one machine. Of course, you can also run a sumcheck (MD5SUM or the like) instead and check the hash. But I doubt he has any sum checking utility installed nor would he know how to use it. But then, that won't confirm or deny OS or hardware issues. If they both have issues, it's very unlikely to be the hardware but very likely to be the OS (and/or the OS version/flavor) on the two machines. There's a lot of possibilities. The problem is, we don't know. So, again, WE NEED THE LOGS.
