I haven't messed aroud at all with the screens.rpy file

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.

can you post your screens.rpy here and post what you have done in your script

best thing to do is look at all of the lines that the error has given you to see what might be wrong or it could be something you have written somewhere else that the screen might have already that's might be conflicting with each other

Thank you everyone, but I managed to figure it out.

Had a character named Lenny. And I defined him a "len". Idiot, I know.
