Web build not playing on some browsers anymore. Help?

[Foxpancakes]

Recently I keep getting this error (pictured above) when I try to play the web browser version of my VNs on itch.io. I use Microsoft Edge on PC. I've had one other person report this error to me, they were using Google Chrome on PC. All my web builds were working just fine before and now this error is popping up out of nowhere.

I don't understand what it means. I think it has something to do with the browser the person is using as I got my partner to test one of my web builds on his Opera GX browser on PC and it worked fine for him. I have also tested it on my mobile phone with Google Chrome and it worked. So I'm super confused!

I would really like to fix this issues so people can play my web builds normally again. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix it and what it means?

I have tried to ask on the Ren'Py Discord but no one answered me. Any help is appreciated.

Here is a link to one of my VNs if you want to test it for yourself: https://foxpancakes.itch.io/just-a-crush

Thank you!

I get the same problem with Microsoft Edge. I think it's to do with the render used :


Initializing gles2 renderer:

as that is where the logfile ends.

Alternatively, perhaps there is a recursion in your code somewhere ? Or you need to update RenPy (latest is 4.8.11) ?

Hey, thank you for responding. Good to know it's not just happening to me! I'm still a noob when it comes to Ren'Py so I don't know how to find that code. I have the latest version of Ren'Py installed already 7.4.11.

Oh I think I found it? It looks the same as yours. I don't know if this is what you meant.

I'm at a loss of what to do. I guess this just means that most web browsers can't play the web version anymore. Which is a shame because a lot of people played them which is why I made them.
Maybe it will get fixed in the next update? Or it has nothing to do with Ren'Py and more to do with the web browsers themselves.

I'm beginning to think that it's due to an Edge/Chrome update - none of mine are working either.

I suspect the Web exporting modules need updating at some point - it's possibly no longer compatible at the moment, unfortunately.

Would be interesting to see if the problem occurs Firefox or another one

Update : It is fine with Firefox !

[Foxpancakes]

I think you are right. I hope it gets updated soon!

Firefox works I think. Any browser that isn't WebKit should work.

I wonder what changes were made. Oh well, just have to wait. It's a shame though

Hello! I just wanted to let you and anyone else reading this know that downloading the Prerelease of Ren'Py 7.5.0. and rebuilding the web builds and reuploading them to itch.io worked for me. Now all my web builds are working again! I'm so glad the issue has been resolved and we didn't have to wait too long. I hope it helps you too.

I'd hold off for the final release before publishing stuff with 7.5, as the first prerelease of 7.5.0 has a few bugs I'm working to rapidly address.
