Same Problem here, also running windows 11. I tried different downloads but still the same crash.

you did as the comment said and set windowed, save right before the crash and continue right? that still didnt work?

yes, the latest is when you select where to cum, but before that the animation already startet lagging.

I’m not sure if the error is caused by Windows 11.
I played through the entire game on Windows 11 without any issues.
The problem might actually stem from newer graphics drivers.
I play using an iGPU—a Radeon Vega 7 with the Adrenalin 24.3.1 driver from 2024—and the game runs fine.
However, issues could arise with other GPUs and newer drivers; after all, the Ren'Py version used here is four years old, and apparently, newer versions of Windows 11 are detected as Windows 8 by this specific Ren'Py version.

I did run into a 3rd crash after the 2 from my original post and i think it might have been this one. I managed to get through it with the same fix I used for those 2 crashes.
If the animation plays for too long, it crashed, so I had to speed through and instantly select an option. After picking an option, game stopped lagging and went back to normal.

Installed the Mac version and the update, but get an error when launching game. Renpy crash with
"Before loading the script.
Exception: Couldn't find file '._special_xmas_2022.rpi'."

Anyone know how to fix this?

I also created a file with that name, that was a copy of the .rpa file of the same title, but now get - "
Before loading the script.
error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check"

Guess mac version is just unplayable?

Ren'Py games often have access issues on macOS, meaning they can't read their own data or save game progress.

Good idea, but I just tried that - they both have the same files.

I've not had issues with any others. Shame because this is a pretty highly rated game but doesnt seem to want to work

Are you not able to take a working mac game and move the actual game folder to that games folder, replacing the files for the working game, and run that? Have you tried rebuilding the game on the same version of renpy but doing it for mac, with the decompiled files? Renpy version seems to be (8, 3, 6) so find a game that matches or is close enough or get that dev kit, compile the game and test. You can google the process of decompiling renpy files and building the game.Are you not able to take a working mac game and move the actual game folder to that games folder, replacing the files for the working game, and run that?
