Ren'Py 7.4.3 Released

#1 Post by PyTom »

I'm happy to announce Ren'Py 7.4.3, the third patch release for the 7.4 series. This release improves the compatibility of Ren'Py 7.4, and adds some new features. New to Ren'Py 7.4.3 are:
  • Windows improvements that should increase compatibility and reduce the chance of false positives from some antivirus software.
  • Improved compatibility with Android devices.
  • A number of focus improvements, including marking frames modal, and focusing the mask part of an AlphaMask.
  • The ability to render Emoji found in fonts.
This release includes feature improvements and updates translations. Everyone should upgrade.

Downloads of 7.4.3 can be found at:

I'm not sure if it's just me, but after the update all my screens that I call with call screen can now be skipped through with the ctrl key / the skip button when previously that wasn't allowed.

Greetings!
Thanks a lot for this update, lots of appreciable news! :D


I've also run into a little problem (not sure if this is the right place, but since it happened after I updated renpy today, I'm putting this here)!

The game I'm working on got a custom cursor, until now it looked like this:

But since the update it looks all weird:

Nothing that makes the game unplayable, but it's still pretty noticeable so I would be glad if it could be return to its nice smooth original self. :D
It's a PNG file, maybe that's why?
I checked among the lastest incompatibilities changes but couldn't find anything. I probably missed something...

Many thanks in advance! C:

Hi Py'Tom

I updated to the this version and this happened to our Live2D models. I will revert back to basic 7.4.1 if I am unable to resolve this. The Hiyori model works fine but for some reason my team's models end up like this so I'm starting to think this might be an issue on how we rendered the sprites.

Can you send me the live2d, please? It's likely some change I made, probably something to do with textures. By having the model, I can bisect the changes and figure out what went wrong.

I'm not sure if this happened in the latest update, or some time earlier, but trying to use Gestures returns an error now.

Maybe it's somehow related to my issue after updating to 7.4.x some time ago? We couldn't resolve it. What system are you on?

Oooh, it does seem like the same issue! :o
I'm running on an old Linux Mint 17.3, with MATE 1.12.0

I've run the game today on Windows 10 and the cursor was displaying as it should. c:
