Anyone else getting this error when launching renpy (or renpy games)

[M0d1997]

Hey everyone! I'm getting an error whenever I launch Ren'py nowadays, including any Ren'py games and I can't figure it out.

I'm using windows 11, and this is the error I'm getting. It only seems to be on recently updated games (the one I'm working on is actually alright, just new ones.) sadly though, its causing me to be unable to open or launch Ren'py, making it hard to work on my projects. Any help would be appreciated!


I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 569, in execute_call_screen
store._return = renpy.call_screen(name, *args, **kwargs)
error: Couldn't load stick calibration
