i tried everything i can think of. I even tried hold shift and starting the game but when the menu you comes up it crashes. My video card is up to date. i am running a rtx 4060TI
I have 64 gb of ram
I tried running the game from windows 8 to windows xp series 2, i tried manually increaseing my Virtual memory to 12000 mb starting to 40000 mb max. I tried running it as admim. i placed the game in my C drive in program files 86 because someojne said that helped them with renpy games. Nothing has fixed this. Please help. It might be something simple im over looking. But i don't see it.

918Devil, is this your first time launching the game, or has it worked previously?

If it worked previously, do you know roughly where you last left the game? Like, what was happening storywise? It really looks like you, or someone, attempted to modify the files locally and broke something.

That... isn't normal engine error by all I can see. Bizarre.

Still, did you try to Go to Library, right-click on Elleria, and select Properties.
Go to Local Files and click Verify integrity of game files.
This will restore any missing or corrupted game files?

Also, if its being run for the first time. Not sure what persistent data it is complaining about, when it didn't store any to begin with?

Still, just in case, try to uh..

Navigate to the folder where Ren'Py stores persistent data:
Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\<GameName>
Mac: ~/Library/RenPy/<GameName>
Linux: ~/.renpy/<GameName>
Delete the folder or specific files related to persistent data (e.g., persistent or similar).

The game has not really worked. i can play for about a minute. one time it played for about 10 mins but then crashed. Now it wont even open for more the a few seconds. Also there are a few other renpy games that do not run and get similar issues.

[918Devil]

Im trying to remember when i crashed i think i met the black dressed evil god lady. The elf was talking about. As long as im not mixing up my games. i cant even get it to start up. Also i already verified the file. after it crashed it always says there are 127 files bad and need to re-download. Then it does i run it again and we are good. I start the game it crashes i do it all over again.

I tried this and it still crashed. So now i am uninstalling. I wiped both the user folder and when into steam apps and i saw there was still a folder left after i uninstalled so i deleted that and now i am doing a fresh install from steam.

[918Devil]

Okay after the fresh reinstall its still crashed but gave me this error now. Don't know if that helps at all.
Also there are other renpy games that do the same thing that used to work on my old computer. I had windows 10. and a GTX 3960TI something like that it was 39XX something. Now i have windows 11 and a RTX4060TI. The only thing i can think of is it has to do with windows 11 and i figured there must be a fix for it. But i cant find anything anywhere. Also what Direct x does it run on. i tried forcing it on 9 and 11 and it wont even load on either when i forced it. Also what windows is it made for. I know when i ran trouble shooter on it i was able to get it to play for a little longer before it crashed. But then i could not even get it to run anymore. Now it looks like i might be able to run troubleshooter now. But i would really love a fix for this if you could help me.

well i was finally able to get the screen to show so i could use Force angel 2 and it runs fine now. But this is happening for almost all renpy games for me. The shift and open or shift+G window that comes up always crashes out and it took me over 30 minutes to get the window to stay up long enough for me to click force angel 2. how do i get it to just run with Force angel 2 from the outset with out having to do shift click or shift G?

Honestly, no idea. This technical issue is beyond my skills to understand or deal with, gotta say that first and foremost.

This is the first time I've had a case like this occur to someone, I am well aware of the Shift and G method to deal with renderer, it helps a lot of people.

But going through these log files and errors, they give me no answer as to where is the potential issues. And your PC seems more than adequate to actually handle the game.

But I'm glad you managed to solve it, I am still puzzled by whole thing honestly.

Thanks for looking at least. I am still having issues with other Renpy games. Its very frustrating to say the least. some play no problem then there are others that crash over and over again. The only thing i can think of is its windows 11. Because games i played on windows 10 worked fine now i put it on this computer that is way better in all terms and they are crashing all over the place. That or maybe its the more advanced graphics card. Maybe i should try installing my graphics card from my other computer and see if that fixes it.

I have another question what python is this game running on python 2 or 3? I am still trying to trouble shoot why some renpy games are not working and other are. I am thinking it might be because of the python some people are using. I also noted that in windows 11 it does not support python 2. Also that in the language section of windows you need to manually go into region and language there under language there is a check box for beta utc-8. unicode. I am still working on it to see what all this is. im behind the times with all this stuff. last thing i did was coding with java

As far as I'm aware, I'm using Python 3

copy thank you i found a work around by actually downloading renpy 8.3.3 and running my renpy games through it. Worked. But i also found out that when windows updated my computer. They changed my permissions from admin to standard.... yeah so you if i right now changed myself back to admin. I am going to see if that fixes my issues. which i believe it will. Fingers crossed.

[918Devil]

sorry so yeah as of right now i changed myself back to admin. Sorry i am listening to the news right now and i guess i started writing what i am hearing....If anyone else has this issue tell them to check their permissions with windows.
