Hi everyone,

Days ago I finished Mask of Arcadius, so, naturally, I wanted to play Liberation Day.

Everything went fine (installing, launching ...) until I got into the first battle, and renpy showed the following:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading <'Image' 'Battle UI/start_hexgrid.png'>:
File "game/combatlabels.rpy", line 104, in script

self.result = ui.interact()
error: Error reading the PNG file.

Linux-5.11.0-35-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5
Ren'Py 6.99.8.959
Release 3.01

After several attempts I was about to open a thread here asking for support, when I remembered that I downloaded a version of renpy's sdk.

[How I solved it]

Simply I made a copy of Liberation Day into the folder of renpy-7.3.5-sdk and launched the game from the sdk's launcher.

Hope that this helps somebody in trouble.

Sorzo: Stepping away from the Discord for a bit to clear my head. I've been spending far too much time on there lately, to the point of it being detrimental to my work. I'll be back at some point, though whether that's a few days or a few months I can't say. Mar 2, 2023 12:25:05 GMT -8

matti: I can't access Discord server. My account got hacked and it spammed links to another Discord server. My account likely got suspended because of it. I've changed my Discord password and it isn't problem anymore. May I be allowed back on Discord? matti1739 Feb 18, 2024 11:04:50 GMT -8

Nemjen: matti - Sorry for the slow response, currently on vacation. I have removed the ban but please keep in mind that we'll need to keep a closer eye on your account in the interim as a precaution. Please feel free to dm me if you require more feedback during Feb 24, 2024 16:34:03 GMT -8
