Cannot build distributions, errors detected but no actual errors in game or lint

#1 Post by fullmontis »

Using 7.3.2.320

I get the following screen when trying to build distributions for my game:

However, the game launches just fine from the launcher, I've played through the game a few times, checking anything that could go wrong, but there aren't any kind of errors or problems coming up. I also tried lint, but there is no error being pointed out.

What's weird is that I've built distributions of it just a week ago for work with a translator and it didn't have problems. I haven't done any major changes to the code, so I have no idea where this could be coming from.

What could be the problem? Help please :oops:

Maybe RenPy is bugging or something? How about you try download the previous version like 7.3.1. And see if the error is gone.
I am a friendly user, please respect and have a good day.

You could try:

Delete Persistent in Launcher
Delete all .rpyc files from folders in your game (just the .rpyc ones, not .rpy) Maybe make a backup of your project first.
Force Recompile in Launcher (to rebuild the .rpyc files from the .rpy ones)

You might also do well to check the .txt files in the project folder (one up from ./game) just to see if any issue was reported there.

After deleting and recompiling the .rpyc files it seems to work now :D Thank you for the help!

I generally see this issue when deleting persistent.

Luckily, I've always known what caused it and can fix it in seconds, and I know how to replicate it so it happens guaranteed, but I always forget once I fix it ;/
