You're fine. It could just be something on my side. I'll keep looking for anything that my computer could be doing.

Also, is there a way I can access the JavaScript console, as the game error suggested? I might be able to make enough sense of everything to find my failed "uncaught loading data file," or whatever else might be happening on my end.

I found the console, and I see the errors. However, I don't know how to fix them. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm honestly not sure at all. I've got no experience with Javascript, and trying to find solutions online hasn't helped. It mentions index.html, which is how itch.io points at the core game files. Try clearing your cache history and see if that fixes it? On Chrome desktop you can type "Clear cache" in the url searchbar and an option will appear automatically.

Hope that helps!

I tried clearing the cache, preforming a hard reload, and turning my computer off and on. This error will not give me peace, and I hope no one else runs into it, as it seems to be a near-permanent roadblock once it shows up.

I know most of this has probably just been annoying for you, and I apologize. I'm just no good at running Linux(as well as the amount of storage it takes up), and I really don't want to powerwash my computer to turn on Dev mode in order to download the Android version. I'll just figure out how to operate Linux and hope the problem fixes itself when the game is updated next.

Again, I am very sorry for all of this bother. Thanks for trying to help and for being patient with me.

Sorry to hear that it's caused you so many issues.

Thank you for your patience too, I can imagine this has been really frustrating to try and get working. I hope the issue is resolved and you can enjoy the game sometime.

Have a fantastic day :)

2Gb of Linux doesn't seem have enough room to unpack all of the game, so I'm still stuck; unfortunately, I haven't completely given up on trying the browser version. I looked through everything some more and decided to look into the console again. I noticed that the errors were showing up as links, so I clicked on them as they showed up, trying to find the exact thing causing what I thought was a butterfly effect of errors.Opening this brought me to a blank page with nothing but the error message that I think is the root of it all:I assume my computer is the "anonymous caller" here. Either that, or the game is showing up as anonymous. Either way, something's trying to access storage, and it can't. I cleared all cookies twice and made sure nothing on my computer was different from when the game was working. If it's my computer suddenly blocking the game from accessing cloud storage, is there a way I can make my computer allow the game to?

Moving on, I looked at the other three links in the JS console errors:In order, from top to bottom, the links sent me to these spots in (I'm assuming) the game code:

A line of "uncaught" code, whatever that is.

Code with the same error message as the game.

And, for some reason, code that doesn't seem to have anything in red, besides the "package" that I believe to be the save data that I don't have. However, the error link sent me to " callback(event.target.result); " instead of ' package/'.

Does any of this mean anything? Again, I apologize for your time, and hope this is helpful in any way. If anyone else is having a similar problem with their browser, maybe this could help them, too.

Also, I was looking through some more of the code, trying to see if I could glean anything else from the code, when I saw this: is "Module.locateFilePackage" the file data the game is trying to get?

Hi! Sorry to hear that you're still having issues.

I've had a look through the screenshots you took, and I think this is what's happening.

- The initial 403 message is because the index file (file that points to other files) associated with my game wasn't present. However, RenPy Web packages are like this by default, and they immediately point to a second file. Looking back through earlier screenshots you took, I can see that this is still working. When you tried clicking the link in the 403 message, you actually navigated to where your browser was looking for the index file on the itch.io server-- since you didn't have authentication to do that, it saw you as an "Anonymous Caller" and denied you access. I've manually relocated the index file so that this 403 won't show up in the future and cause anyone concern.

- "Uncaught Loading data file failed.Error" is the likely culprit. I've been unable to replicate it on a Linux + Chrome test machine though. The links you followed in the error message actually took you to the code to return the errors, not the errors themselves, which is unfortunate. I tried to do a search for the same error, but the only thing that came up for Itch or RenPy was your post, so I don't have much to go on.

I honestly still don't have a solution for this, sorry. It looks like it's on Itch.io's end, particularly with how your browser and their servers are communicating. If you have time, please try playing other RenPy games on the site and see if you run into the same issue. It'd be good to confirm where the error is.

Thanks again for your patience.

It's working now. Nothing on my side; Itch probably just didn't like your game your game for some reason.
