Hello! Hope you're all doing well
I've been working with older RenPy versions for awhile now, was running on v.6.9 but recently switched up to 7.4.8.1895 and had to switch from Editra to Atom due to Editra no longer being supported.
I normally code with the game open and Auto-reload on, it's so helpful for creating screens and adjusting images. However, I switched to a new PC and ever since I've been experiencing random crashes with RenPy when saving in Atom, the program will autoreload as normal but then the whole PC black-screens and the RenPy executable crashes. I use two monitors, both go black for a few seconds, then when it all comes back RenPy is gone and sometimes crashes again if I try to reopen it.
I see this in Event Viewer:
The description for Event ID 1 from source NVIDIA OpenGL Driver cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
A TDR has been detected.
The application must close.
Error code: 7
(pid=15008 tid=8764 renpy.exe 64bit)
Visit http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3633 for more information.
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table
Has anyone experienced anything like this issue before? And by all means, if anything else is needed, please let me know!

I had the same problem with outdated graphic card drivers. Make sure you have latest version downloaded from nvidia website.

Re: RenPy Crash With AutoReload On, PC Black Screens
Yep they've been fully up to date. This is a brand new PC, which is what makes it odd. It feels like RenPy isn't playing nice with something.
Here's a bit more information, after the game crashes and the screen goes black for a sec:
- The RenPy launcher won't load again. It tries, but the screen goes black again, then RenPy is nowhere to be seen, not even on Task Manager. Rebooting fixes this.
- The crash actually messed with an audio driver, curiously enough. Opening anything that relied on producing sound crashed the PC. Rebooting fixed this.
It's like there's something RenPy does that makes the GPU go "No bueno," and bam it's on strike. Which is odd since the GPU works fine otherwise, no issues with any other programs. It's my little RenPy that's the outlier, but I'm curious if anyone's had luck with any Nvidia settings or anything that could potentially cause this?
