Hi there! I'm having a strange visual bug...

It started as simple as looking like this when you save over a previous save:

But that was the extent of it for my first run (Ari).

I've started up a second run to move on to Caissa and skipped through some of the common bits I had already seen, and now my main screen looks like this:

Sometimes the dialogue is also funky and unreadable. Loading a save will clear it briefly, but then suddenly the MC will lose her eyes, or something as drastic as Jack happens as above.

I thought perhaps it could be something to do with my PC, but I haven't ever seen anything like this before, and it was almost perfect on my first run (bar the saving screen) and only started during and after skipping.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I just wanted to add that I've restarted the game already too.

Sorry for all the replies, but I wanted to pop a fix here in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.

(only a Windows fix unfortunately) once the game is running, hit SHIFT+G and there should be options for RENDERERS. Mine was by default set to "Automatically Choose". I have now set it to one of the options and its fixed.

Yikes! That is.......so bizarre!

But thank you for posting the solution. "Automatically choose" is the default selection for Ren'py and it causes issues for me as well - though nothing like what you saw. @_@ I just get weird flickers and flashes of dark areas.

This happens in every Ren'py game for me - not just Gilded Shadows. I always have to set the renderer to a specific one when I download a new Ren'py game.
