Way to fix game frozen bug with 0.19 update for Android11

After 0.19 update, my phone can't run the game properly. The game takes about a minute for renpy to load then it will freeze with music still playing in the background. However, after reading threads, I finally found the way to play this game normally again. 

You need to have old version of Joiplay and its RenPy plugin that's compatible with the older version of the app. Do not download ones from Play Store. They aren't optimised to work on Android11 or greater (which is funny since older version is compatible with Android11) and eventually will either crash itself or freeze forever. I suggest try downloading Joiplay from trustable third party source.

The version of Joiplay I'm using to play ToS is 1.00.44 and the version of RenPy plugin is 1.00.19

(no promotional purposes I didn't get pay for this lol)

In case if your phone has problems with installing .xapk files, try installing it via Total Commander

Here are screenshots from 0.19 updates to prove that it worked for me:

I think the reason is you shutdown the program to make it crash. You can just try clean all the data to RenPy program will be OK. It won't delete all your process.

I usually just copy save files and the persistent file before I delete the game to install newer version. Apparently for new game version, I need to delete older version first so I could install new ones. If I remember correctly, it has been like this since 0.15 update. Also, I said I played this game on Android phone so RenPy engine is kind of built-in already. No way to  clean its cache individually. 

I don't understand it :(

What should i do after i install it?

Oh right, I didn't say anything about how to setup the game in Joiplay. 

You can do that via Total Commander. It will redirect you to Joiplay immediately but you have to pick .exe file for that. 

Or

Directly setup the game in Joiplay app by pressing:

This will popped up once you picked the game via TotalCommander or picked executable file with Joiplay normally, no need to properly modify Game Name, Version and Icon. The executable file should be the same as the one in the first picture. 

(After tapped the + button)
(After picked the game via Total Commander)
After done picking a game, tap ADD then start your game by tapping them. 


Then should stay on this screen for a while depend on your device. Eventually you will be able to enjoy your game but if it immediately crashes then you might need to find other version of this app that compatible with your device. 

So.... I thought maybe after an update it would fix itself but... Yeahh nope. And i did what you said and i got this screen. Is there something that i did wrong?


I did try out the newest update for Joiplay (v1.01.701 from Play Store) which doesn't work for me but I have never seen this before. Mine just crash after a few seconds. I assumed that the update you mentioned meant to be the Joiplay from Play Store.

no its the game that updated i still dwnld the joiplay from the link you gave

Please make sure you downloaded the Renpy plugin from the link too. It could be the case that you accidentally only updated the plugin or downloaded different versions of the plugin that couldn't compatible with your current version of Joiplay. (I managed to run into the same problem as you by update the plugin from Play Store only to see if my guess was correct.)

this helped me tysm

can someone help using the another version when opened the game Crash android 9 any solutions ??
