I've got a major glitch. this only happens with the main executable, but sometimes the 32 bit is also affected. 

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

    call _splashscreen from _call_splashscreen_1

  File "game/script.rpy", line 20, in script

    with Fade(1, 1, 1)

NameError: global name 'name' is not defined

This is a fairly common (but not fixable on our end) Ren'Py version error. The best fix is to go into the folder of another Ren'Py game that you know works properly on your computer, copy the /renpy folder, and then replace the /renpy folder in the Bare Witness files. Hope that helps.

Alright, will do!

I figured out a much easier way to do this for anyone who is having the same problem. The only thing I had to do was to replace the renpy folder from the game with a renpy folder from another game that worked. That was it.

Oof. I just realized I had said /game instead of /renpy. My apologies, that was the worst kind of brain fart. I've fixed the comment, and I appreciate you correcting it.
