Other information

RPA files

Assets for games made with Ren'Py are sometimes stored in .rpa files. These can be extracted by using an RPA extractor.

Multiboot

When you install a Ren'Py game on Windows, you'll often find a binary for Linux in (game folder)/lib/linux-x86_64 that you can run on Linux without having to install the game again. The exact path may vary.

Renderers

Older versions of Ren'Py supported a software renderer, but this has been removed.
Ren'Py suggests trying the GL and ANGLE renderers. The GLES renderers may not function on desktop hardware.
Ren'Py API Notes
gl OpenGL OpenGL 2.0 or greater.
angle DirectX DirectX 9 or DirectX 11
gles OpenGL ES OpenGL ES 3.0

Issues Fixed

Display Problems[1]

By default, Ren'Py will automatically choose which renderer to use. Sometimes there can be issues, such as a flickering black pattern or other anomalies.

  1. Enter the Ren'Py configuration menu by pressing Shift+G.
  2. Select a different renderer
  3. Click "Return"
  4. Restart the game and see if it's working better.
