directx not available due to SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2022 11:16 am
Hi,
I had a bug I was able to solve. I would like to share the solution in case somebody also has it.
For some reasons I had the system environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER set to 'directx'. This is probably due to a previous installation of pygame. This made renpy crash (see below). The solution is simply to delete the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable.

Code: Select all
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
