A player has reported this strange error:

Error message:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Any idea what it could be and how to fix it?

These are lines 390 and 391 in the script:

Code: Select all

init python:
    mp = MultiPersistent("awsw")

There seem to be a bunch of these file path errors lately, chances are that updating renpy or waiting for the next renpy version will do the trick. This does look a bit odd, there seem to be no weird characters in the path...
