Screen randomly flashes black?

#1 Post by thetiredone » Sun Nov 07, 2021 9:15 pm

Hello everyone, I've been having an issue where at random times when playing through the script, the screen will just flash black (the textbox stays, though). It usually happens when you click to go through the dialogue and it happens at random times ie it'll never happen at the same location in the script. I honestly have no idea what's causing it and I haven't seen anyone have this issue when looking around so I don't know how to fix it. If anyone does know, the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Try the newest versions of Ren'Py, as there have been several fixes for problems that manifested like this.

Hello, I currently have the latest update installed. I probably should have mentioned in my base post that everything is up to date.
