constant crashing

[Ariochaotik]

I just bought the game earlier today and installed it.
first, i was playing in full screen. I was having errors every few clicks. I decided to go back to windowed mode maximized and it was better.

Still im having similar errors very often. they are all like this one with that same error "bool' object is not callable"

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/Chapter2.rpy", line 170, in script

I cannot think of any reason why this should be happening. It's absolutely not code related because there are no boolean calls being made here. I would try verifying your files and, if that doesn't fix it, try a complete uninstall/reinstall. Ren'Py is obviously unhappy about something, but it's not an error I've seen in hundreds of hours of beta testing on any of Windows, Mac or Linux.

Sorry for the frustration! I hope a verify fixes it for you.

Game will not load, constant crashing at start. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

I apologize for how annoying this must be, but this is the first time we're seeing this particular error. As annoying as it might be, I'm actually going to suggest that you ensure your system's drivers are up to date. I can't even imagine why your system should see the game crashing while Ren'Py is loading the images folder.

Sorry for the trouble, but I am unable to reproduce the error and have not had any luck googling a possible answer.

[608xperience]

Following up, CHOPP3R, is the output of the error the same every time or are you seeing different exceptions each time?

[hush]

got also this error, already uninstalled and installed it once.

There is no Steam support for Android. I have no idea what you're seeing, but it's not based on this game's code in any way, shape or form.

Sorry for not being helpful, but this really appears to be something up with your system. The errors don't represent anything that is happening in code at all. It's been my experience supporting various Ren'Py games that these differing and unexpected base Ren'Py errors are often fixed by some system maintenance. Especially consider checking to see whether there's a BIOS update available.
