The changes from 16.4.3 to 16.4.4 were pretty tiny, and I know it works for most people. We did switch to the latest version of Renpy, so maybe that's the issue. Without seeing the log file, I can''t really give you much advice. I would suggest going onto out Discord help channel and posting the log file there.
There are a few basic troubleshooting issues that you can try as well.
- Delete the persistent file:
A corrupted save or persistent file is a common cause for a game not launching.
- Navigate to
%appdata%on Windows. - Find the
Renpyfolder and then locate the specific game's folder. - Delete the
persistentfile to clear corrupted save data.
- Navigate to
2. Update graphics drivers.
I've also seen people say fixing issues with Renpy games not starting is as simple as renaming the folder it's in. I'm afraid I can't verify or test any of these this as the game runs fine on my computer.
