Cant open Ren'Py games

#1 Post by Orion45 »

Having an issue with Ren'Py games. When I open them, they show up in processes but don't open at all. I am trying it from a new computer, are the any software I might be missing?

Built Ren'Py games should come with all required dependencies. You should only need to open them like any other program/game.

Can you specify which games and how you tried to run them? Did you put the folder in the ren'py install location (incorrect) or run the .exe/.sh/(mac) file?

Running the .exe. Just tried some other games. One called BAT which was released recently which also had the same issue. I then downloaded a game from 2007 called The Silent Maiden and it actually worked! It seems to be an issue with more modern releases?
