The engine upgrade seems to stop me from launching the game. I'm getting a consistent error log, can you look at it and see if it's something you can fix? Here it is:


I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading the script.

Exception: G:\MiscGames\Itch\town-of-magic\Town_of_Magic-pc/renpy/common/00layeredimage_ren.py and G:\MiscGames\Itch\town-of-magic\Town_of_Magic-pc/renpy/common/00layeredimage.rpy conflict, and can't exist in the same game.

Always extract the game in an empty directory.
After launching the game, pressing SHIFT+G will give you the option to select ANGLE2 Rendered which is more suitable for older graphics cards.

I assume that you updated the game (like myself). Make sure that your save is backed up then uninstall and reinstall worked for me

Thanks you two. Reinstalling the game worked, Occam's Razor and all that. Thank you Deimus especially, I've racked up 25 hours in this game already. Amazing work, I'm glad to be able to play it again.
