I tried playing on linux but it crashed on launch, got the error

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  255 ()
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Serial number of failed request:  228
  Current serial number in output stream:  228

though I don’t have a clue as to what that means °w°

(I’ve never had any similar issue with any other vn on my system btw)

Same, I tried "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" neither worked

Go to next-step/game/gui/ folder and check the window_icon.png. It’s just too big in resolution and needs to be resized. I brought it down to 1000x1000 and now the VN runs great.

Oh thanks :D

If i can guess, maybe the problem with the resolution, screen length. It's really hard to programming with renpy if the creator has zero experience, like me. I just figured out. When i will release my vn, i not gonna make a linux version. Everybody says Android is way worse, but Linux is a difficult op system. Let's try it on Android or IOS. :) It's not the programmer's fault, because it's hard to make the game to being compatible on everything. There are also goods on the internet for your trouble. :)

Funnily enough, you’re not that far off. The problem is the resolution OF the window’s icon. This VN uses a 4000x4000 icon and it’s just too big.

On the game/gui/ folder there’s a window_icon.png. I brought it down to 1000x1000 and now the VN runs without any problem. Seems to be a problem with the display server on Linux?

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out what was wrong for weeks now. You're a life saver!

It’s a pleasure to help :) I just really wanted to play this VN, you know? lol, definitely wasn’t an easy thing to track down, very unexpected problem for sure.

PS: I love this VN, can’t wait for more!

Same here, but I managed to solve the problem. Quite a weird problem tbh :P

Go to next-step/game/gui/ folder and check the window_icon.png. It’s just too big in resolution and needs to be resized. I brought it down to 1000x1000 and now the VN runs great.
