I use Arch BTW. ;)
Me too. To be precise, I use Linux Garuda. This is a particularly user-friendly Arch Linux variant optimised for games.

User-friendly in the sense of automatic system updates and in 5 years I've only had to type a solution from a forum into the console 3 times because programmes got stuck during an update. Everything else is done via menus as with Windows.

Sooo, thanks for all the suggestions, first of all i've tried to change the path to the game, did not work, then i tried turning off the antivirus with internet, still did not launch, removed the RenPy folder and even that didn't solve my problem :(
So - I have an imperfect solution: Download BlueStacks (or another android emu) and play the android version. I miss the 'right click menu opening' but it seems to work fairly well otherwise, and if they figure out how to get it to work in your Windows, BlueStacks allows you to copy the save files to Windows, so you don't have to start all over again.

BlueStacks can be found here:
and WTS android version is on page one :D - drag and drop installs the game, so at least it is easy (even though BlueStacks have a LOT of ads)

How is arch? I've heard a lot about it over the years but never really had the time or computers to try it out. The few people that I know that really, REALLY use arch have been kind of intense about it. Something about, "If you really want to know how linux works, use arch."

I don't have any comparisons, as it's my first Linux. I switched directly from Windows 7 to Linux Garuda. Everything in me was reluctant to switch to Win10.

I was lucky, a friend helped me with the switch. At first it was a dual system with Windows 7, but I only used it to play Star Trek Online (which wouldn't run on Win7). But I was in Garuda longer and longer until I got so used to it that I didn't even start Win7 anymore. I could access my Windows discs from Linux without any problems. All data. The other way round was not possible. Now on my new PC (also already 2 years old), I only have Garuda on it. I play everything from WTS to Cyberpunkt 2077 on it.

As I already wrote, Garuda is very beginner-friendly. I have no idea how it works. I would describe it like this, I have a car that drives great and works perfectly. But I've never looked under the bonnet. When I had problems, I googled it in forums and entered the solution in the console. But I have NO IDEA what those lines of code meant. After that everything worked normally again.

I'm sorry if I can't be of much help in comparing arch linux to other Linuxes.

There's nothing in the logs indicating a crash or any other issue. Cache warnings are benign and will be disabled in the next update since they are only useful to me.

Isolated hardware-dependent problems are usually out of our control, especially if it happens with other Ren'py games. It's very possible your computer lacks certain instruction sets for the newer versions of Ren'Py. For example, 32-Bit systems are not supported for well over a year now, and Windows 7 is on the cutting block as well.

So, my question is, what version of Windows 10 are you on? 32-bit?
Nop, i'm on 64-bit version
You asked him to post HIS log file to an AI engine to search for an error that didn't show up in YOUR log file? And I'm the one that assumed? And I did read that and it made no sense. Nevermind. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.


You have no idea what's going on so it's a waste of time to get more info. Right...

And yeah, we have better info now. We know it's not using integrated graphics which is what cxx suggested so we can rule that out.
Code:
Initializing gl2 renderer:
primary display bounds: (0, 0, 1920, 1080)
swap interval: 1 frames
Windowed mode.
That tells us that it was able to initialize the graphical engine and was able to determine the desktop environment specs. But weirdly, there's no display info. That's a little worrying but it may mean nothing. But also, it was able to run the rpy file which means that the python engine is working.

In the same folder as the logs.txt, were there any other .txt files? Like errors.txt? If so, can you post them. If there isn't please tell us.

But also, definitely do what cxx suggested. But, if possible try the game with ONLY integrated graphics and then ONLY the nvidia card (if possible). According to the logs, you're already on the dedicated graphics card (nvidia), but there might be some swap over interactions that might be causing this. Trying both will tell us if it's the graphics cards or not.

Also, do what F1forhalp suggested and move it OUT of the desktop folder. I've never personally faced that issue, but I also haven't really been using windows since windows 7. It may make no difference, but at least we'll have cross that possibility off the list.

Also also, if you can make a list of what other games doesn't work (and their version) and what other games do work (and their versions). That way we can try to narrow down if it is an issue with a specific renpy version (or if the games that don't work have some common library they're using.)
I've tried to use it in other folder but it didnt work. Rick and morty another way to home doesnt launch, Queen trainer, witch trainer launches fine and game of whores too, i'll try swapping graphic cards and there is no other txt files beside log

Don't apologize. You actually gave me exactly what I was looking for. When I said those users I knew before were intense? I mean INTENSE. Like "I don't download packages to install. I download source code and compile it myself before I install." intense. The other one personally vets the source code before he installs anything. As much as I wish I can do all that, I don't have the time. So it's nice to know there's a user friendly version of arch that even a linux newbie can pick up and have no problems.

But yeah my experience wasn't that different than your's. I met a debian maintainer at work. She recommended Debian (pre systemd). Used it for years via dual boot with win7. Spent most the day on linux. At that time though, wine didn't run Final Fantasy 11 nor Final Fantasy 14 well so I had to switch back to windows to play those games. Nowadays, FF11 runs well on wine and I don't play FF14 anymore (looking to get a private server for FF14 1.0 set up, but that's a different story). I still keep a win10 partition on this computer for work and "just in case" purposes. But otherwise, I try to never look back. But yeah,renpy games great on linux because python (python is such a mess to install/configure on windows, at least, last I looked).

But yeah, next time I need to reinstall a machine...actually, literally as I'm writing this, I have one machine that randomly freezes with the latest devuan version. I think it's the new kernel or an overheating issue. I might try arch on that one to see if it works better. Last I heard, arch had less overhead (hence less work and less heat) so it might work...hmm...

So yeah. Thank you for the insight.It literally helped.

this game still runs on Win7, as of yet. won't change that 'lewd box' toward anything else since it's still working, and the win partition doesn't even have a browser, or other interwebs access, aside from like 3 certain games which get isolated (fix IP, fix port etc.) access on case base. it's dual boot with Parrot (that's Deb rolling) and the win7 can't see other partitions. keeping it around for some few games, that about it.

Parrot on the web box as well, gotten used to it. kinda like LoafyLemon, moved to Linux when W7 went off service.
noone really needs windoze for just surfin' teh webs.

cho @ cheeks heavy_blush "Он {size=-2}и {size=-2}половина {size=-2}команды...{/size}{/size}{/size}{/size}" ("quiver", "narrow", "worried", "downR")
File "game/scripts/characters/cho/common.rpy", line 120, in cho
renpy.store.character.cho_say(what, show_side_doll=side_doll, show_nickname=renpy.store.name_cho_genie, **kwargs)
Exception: '/size' closes a text tag that isn't open.

there's the error, the line has 3 times {size} values, and 4 times {/size} close, it's one too many. you could manually fix it when you go into that file hufflepuff_match.rpy, find line 2035, and remove one of the four {/size}, that should do. i think if you don't have a special editor, that could even be done with notepad..? right click the file, open with, Notepad (or Editor in some versions).

are there any news regarding the next update?
I'm also a bit confused that for almost 2 months, there has been no news. Before that, they talked about the new artist joining the team. Maybe they have some summer vacation, I don't know.


P.S. Any advice on your favourite games? sry, my bad
