Hpw much memory? 16 gigs of RAM, and I'm not using a VM. I'm actually using Linux.
I dualboot Linux with Windows. I have two SSDs, one for each. Fedora can read my Windows drive, so I basically use it as extra storage since I barely touch Windows. That's where I store all my Renpy games, as well as where I run them from.
I'm not sure what you mean by running Wine under Windows. Renpy detects Windows 8, isn't that what Wine is supposed to do? I suppose I could log in to Windows and test it out.
I have absolutely no clue how to fix your issue, honestly. You are the first linux user (in at least 5 years of doing this) that has ever reported anything. I tested the game in my linux VM and it works fine there. The only other thing I can suggest is maybe redownload it fresh. Did you by any chance copy the latest download OVER the previous game folder from the last version? If you did, that will cause strange issues on any device.
No, I never do that when updating a game. I just delete the entire folder and files and download the new one. However, in the case of Serenity, I just started playing your game like 2-3 days ago, so I never updated anything. It's a fresh install from scratch.
I did log onto Windows and the game runs just fine. It seems to be a Wine issue. What I'll do is go back to Windows, make a save for after the crash point, then back to Linux and load that save to see what happens.
Edit: Made a save and loaded it on Linux. Works fine. Rolled back the game and then went forward again. It got past the crash point with zero issue. Then I loaded the previous save I used and it crashed again. No idea what the issue is, but I can get past it now, so idrc. Thanks for the help though :)
On linux: ~/.renpy/game_directory
You can also look in the game folder itself under: game/saves
With that said, for you it could be different. Doubtful, but I just find it really odd that when you sent me that traceback, it showed Windows at the bottom. When I get a traceback in my linux vm, it shows my linux build at the bottom. It could just be the way you have your system setup and may have nothing to do with anything. I've just never seen that happen before. Glad you got it figured out :)
I know i am 4 months late to the party... but Wine can be setup to use different versions of windows, yours is setup to use windows 8 but could be configured to use windows 10. The error is (From my personal experience amd a quick google search to verify) possibly just due to how wine interacts and translates the game, or certain issues involving wine and encoding. If you have all the right things installed into wine (libraries, drivers, etc...) wine does a pretty good job. However what Wine does not due a good job is installing them as its a need by need basis. Not all renpy VN's come with a .sh file or a linux specific version :P while it won't help you i hope this helps anyone else that has a similar issue down the road
