Launching Editra Failed?

#1 Post by dmasterxd »

Okay so I opened up renpy and then when I clicked on the script for one of my games it was blank. But when I clicked on launch project the game worked fine (complete with all of the script I wrote) I went through all of my games and it's the same for every one.

I'm just so confused though because when I click on the script files they're all blank. And the home screen says launching Editra failed. So what's up with this? Can I get my script back? Because I still have some things I need to edit. Any help would be appreciated. Please and thank you.

Funnily enough, just got that error a few minutes ago and was starting to panic thinking I lost all my code. Fortunately, it all showed back up when I restarted ren'py.

Sometimes my computer does this, but all I have to do is wait. After a few moments, Editra launches without the script (just like you've described). Once Editra is running, I re-click on the script name in Renpy and it loads just fine. For some reason my computer occasionally can't handle loading both the program and the script. Maybe your computer has the same problem.
