My game won't open except on my pc

#1 Post by ylvarie »

I published a game on itch.io but it doesnt work on other people's computer, while it does on mine. It gives the errors I attached. How can I fix this?

There are some problems with Ren'Py if there are names in the filename that the system that's running the game can't represent. I'd suggest sticking to ASCII for build.directory_name and build.executable_name, as ASCII is well-supported everywhere.
