Simply put...when I click on Launch Project, very frequently 2 or 3 copies of the game will launch. Just start to happen recently, for no reasons. And it is too frequent for it to be the case of me accidentally clicking multiple time.
I am not even sure what cause it. It start to happen after that one time where the launcher screen suddenly teleport everywhere on my screen for a few seconds, so that might be a clue or not.
As far as I know, this happens randomly. Haven't cause me any problems except for annoyance. Anyone got it before and know how to fix it? Thanks.

I still got this problem, can anyone help?
If it comes down to it, I probably would have to reinstall Ren'Py to see if it fix it. Would doing that affect my project?
Sorry to say I don't have a clue on the actual issue, but reinstalling should go smoothly so long as you know which files you have to copy over. For me that's:
*.rpy
images except the ones in the 'cache' folder
music and sounds
fonts
icon.ico and the README if you have them
I think everything else necessary gets made at compiletime. It's not a bad idea to use some kind of version control program to select which files you want to keep. I use TortoiseSVN myself, though I'd guess Git may be better for larger programming groups.
At least this way we can confirm whether the sdk itself is working as it should be. Good luck!
I finally found the confident to redownload it, making sure I made backup of the old version and all the projects. Unfortunately it does not fix the problem, so now I am not sure where it comes from anymore, but it is not Ren'Py. But thanks anyway for the tips on how to reinstall Ren'Py safely.
Guess I would mark this as solved, though it is more like the problem is never Ren'Py's to begin with.
