1: i dont use bloatware unless forced to. i run the game directly without 3rd party clients.
2: renpy does not "install" games, it creates whats known as a "portable executable", so no, it doesnt make sense.
3: i dont have the time or patience to copy-paste the dozens of exception errors it generates (about 6 for each new screen of the game, and every new screen of the game generates them, and if i did, my extremely lengthy post would probably get flagged as spam or something.
"The relevant lines in renpy exceptions is by the way the last two or three", good to know, thanks.
"reconsider the word’s “install” and “uninstall” for their client", i have no idea what any individual 3rd party apps are doing. im talking about the game itself - the renpy engine it on which the game is based, does not require installation. it is a portable .exe
I was getting a report of this:
While running game code:
ScriptError: Name (u'game/satisfactionUpgradesAndItems/init_satisfactionUpgrades.rpy', 1623503967, 2) is defined twice, at game/satisfactionUpgradesAndItems/init_satisfactionUpgrades.rpy:73 and game/schedules/satisfactionUpgradesAndItems/init_satisfactionUpgrades.rpy:73.
I deleted both and hit reinstall in Itch.io, seemed to fix it for me.
Edit: yeah, getting a lot of errors in game, not sure if it is a save issue or file issue, unplayable atm, don't have time to investigate further atm.
