RE: June Builds Crashing on Start Up
🕑 Added 2021-06-04 13:57:08 +0000 UTCFor those whose games are crashing on launch with the following traceback error: Exception: Shader (u'renpy.geometry', 'renpy.solid')
The issue is an old file from the 7.3 version of Ren'Py in your game directory. This file was removed from the game as of the 4K update released at the beginning of this year, but if you've been overwriting your Sileo directory every month, it's probably still there!
Please take a copy of your saves folder (/game/saves) and DELETE THE ENTIRE SILEO FOLDER. Download the latest update and extract it fresh. This will fix the issue.
This doesn't apply to Android users. Installing your APK over the top of the old one is perfectly okay. And the upcoming 'b' update will re-enable the renderer on Android and offer users on all platforms the option to disable it if necessary. This should generally not be something you should do, and will not be an option forever as Ren'Py will be removing the older renderers at some point in the future, however we know some people with very simple smartphones can only play smoothly on the old renderer, so we're making this an option as long as it's available in the engine. Thanks for your patience.
