The game keeps crashing for me. :( First during character creation, then twice once I created a character and hit "next."

I'm on a Windows 11 PC playing through itch. Help? 

Hey! Argh I'm sorry to hear that! Is it giving any kinda error message, and if so what does it say?

Hiii! First of all, Ebon Light is gorgeous, and beautifully written. I can't wait to dig further into it!

(I found kind of a convoluted workaround with a mobile version I installed on BlueStacks loool.)

In terms of the error message, sometimes it gives me that "rollback" option and works for a bit; sometimes it does the "rollback" thing a few times, but works for a while; sometimes it does the rollback thing, then crashes. Other times it crashes straight to desktop.

Sometimes when it crashes to desktop, a Notepad doc pops up called "traceback." I honestly can't tell you how often a desktop crash is accompanied by a "traceback" doc, but it's not every time? 

But because I never close tabs anywhere, I can tell you when I opened Notepad, eight instances of "traceback" popped up.

I'm almost completely ignorant about most things programming, but I can tell you that at an untrained glance, it looks like the contents of each instance are very similar, but not (necessarily?) identical.

The errors at the top of each are as follows:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

- IndexError: tuple index out of range (6 instances)

- AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'perform' (2 instances)

If it would help, I can post more of what's in each "traceback" file (though I'm currently in final project of final class of grad school hell, so probably not until the weekend looool). 

Anyway, thanks for responding so quickly! I'd love to play without an emulator (once I'm done with this Final Project of Doom, of course lol).

Ohhh interesting, thank you for explaining further! (And thank you so much, and good luck with your project!) 


I'm not having any luck recreating the crash, unfortunately... and if a full delete and fresh install of the game doesn't fix anything, I'm at a loss, but! If you want to email me the full traceback, please do! underbliss @ gmail ! Thank you again and I'm sorry that Ebon Light isn't playing smoothly for you!

Thank you! A reinstall didn't work, but I sent the traceback!
