for the background thing, try holding shift upon clicking to open the game (but before it's actually opened) and picking the 'force angle2 renderer' option. it happens on most ren'py games for me unless i do that so i figure it's my laptop lol.
w h a ti will try that next time i open the game, thanks a lot!!
it worked, thank you so much, you are truly an angel!!!
glad to help! my old laptop never had the problem but my new one does even with the same games so i looked for a fix a while back :D
