Graphics/text not displaying properly when game is launched

#1 Post by Joey »

I recently transferred Ren'Py and my game files to a new computer. When I tried to launch the game I'm working on, the program prompted me to update my DirectX, which I did. Previously before updating DirectX the game was laggy and didn't show transitions like dissolve correctly but all the graphics/text were viewable. However after updating my game now looks like this:

It's weird because sometimes the background shows itself in full and other times it's partially obscured. Sprites show up as black boxes and text appears on and off :'(

I really need a fix for this! Thanks in advance!

You may want to delete the contents of the cache folder inside your game directory in your renpy project and see if this helps...

(1) Please send me the log.txt file from the Ren'Py directory.

(2) Hold down shift on startup, and try the software renderer.
