[solved] ValueError: renpy.display.render.Matrix2D

[rinrin]

I searched the forums (I'm pretty sure I've seen something like this before) but couldn't find anything similar, so I'm starting a new thread.

A player just reported that after installing the game, she can't start it. Here's the traceback:

(Sorry about the formatting, I copied it from an email.)

Any ideas what could be causing this?

What version of Ren'Py are they using?

This is the sort of thing you'd get if some of the libraries were from one version of Ren'Py, and some were from a different version of Ren'Py.

Thank you!

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but why would the version of Ren'Py she (possibly) has installed influence a compiled, installed version of the game at all? Since people who don't have Ren'Py can play those, I thought the (compiled) games themselves are completely separate from any Ren'Py installs a user might have on their computer.

Anyway, here's what she says:

Code: Select all

I think I have Ren'Py installed, as I've played other games which require this, but I'm not sure what version I have. 

[PyTom]

I have no idea, to be honest. It's just that this is what would happen if you mix multiple distributions of Ren'Py somehow.

[rinrin]

Solved!

I'll post about it here just in case anyone encounters similar issues:

It seems the cause of the problem was having several Ren'Py games installed in the same directory, causing different versions of Ren'Py to clash. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game in its own folder fixed the problem.
