Its just an option, use animation or not in this scene

First of all, thanks for the quick reply. I thought someone would respond, but seeing the devs reply this quickly directly is really reassuring and gives (from my point of view) a sense of care for the game, which is awesome. Congratulations!
Now, let me explain my question in more detail. I’m at the beginning of Act 1 (I’ll include images):
I downloaded the game, and when I entered for the first time, it asked me to choose the language. I picked English. Then it asked if I’m over 18, and finally, it asked whether I wanted "Live2D animations" or "Default animations." I chose the first option for Live2D, but it said the game needed to restart. I confirmed and waited, but the game froze and became "whited out," like when a Windows app crashes. I waited and eventually it closed on its own and didn’t reopen, when I opened it again, everything seemed normal. I checked the settings and saw that the LIVE2D Animations option was still enabled, like I showed in the image. But when any scene starts, the LIVE2D option doesn’t work. I can’t click it and it says to enable it in the settings, but it’s already enabled, like I showed. So I thought of two things:
- As the LIVE2D option says, it’s only for certain scenes, not all of them. So the LIVE2D option will show by default but only be clickable when a scene with Live2D animation comes up. The early scenes might not have been "updated" for Live2D, since this content probably came later. For example, the scene with the elf visiting you at night, since it’s so early in the game, might not be updated for Live2D yet.
- When the game crashed at the beginning after I selected the Live2D or Default option, there could have been a bug and it’s not recognizing that Live2D is enabled. So it only lets me click the Default option.
If the second possibility is true, could you tell me where the file is that saves the Live2D or Default choice? I deleted the game and erased the save in /renpy/innocent_witchers, but when I opened it again, the option to choose the language and whether to use Live2D or Default didn’t show up anymore, like it was already saved somewhere else on my computer, maybe a "cache" or something that doesn’t clear even if I delete the save or the game. But I couldn’t find it to delete and start to see if the game crashes this time.
Thanks for your patience reading all this. I hope I was clear, and if not, I can explain more if needed.

Thanks again for your patience! So, this didn’t work, but I found a solution. Just to be sure, I "messed up" the game until Live2D stopped working again and tried your fix, but it didn’t work. What actually worked for me was deleting the "PERSISTENT" and "TOKENS" folders from:
"C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\RenPy"
I’m not sure if that makes a bad difference in the game since new folders were created automatically, but at least for this bug, it worked really well and my buggy save is working perfectly so far. I’ll test more and if I notice anything, I’ll let you know on Discord. Thanks again! Love the game!
