Startup error on Android

Some users have reported an error starting the game on Android, this could be due to the app not having permissions to write to (external) storage. If you allow Sisterly Lust permission via information screen it should run properly.

I'm investigating and working on a possible fix in future versions.

Does your device meet the minimum system requirements? Do you have any luck running the compressed version?

I'm preparing an update for the game, that might resolve things for some players.

I have a problem with this as well.. It says some about a file missing... Like what am I supposed to do? 


[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/incest_patch.rpy", line 2, in <module>
  File "game/script.rpy", line 12, in set_special
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/storage/emulated/0/com.perverteer.sl/../RenPy/Persistent/perverteer.new'

Full traceback:

"Some users have reported an error starting the game on Android, this could be due to the app not having permissions to write to (external) storage. If you allow Sisterly Lust permission via information screen it should run properly." 


I either see "Parse Error" then I have to free up space and re-download or it says Staging which takes a minute then "Do you wish to install this app? It doesn't require any special permission." Click Install then there's a Big Triangle ! mid screen and the file collapses. I extracted external memory so it doesn't need any read/save permission. So after 20x downloading freeing up space running cache clearing operations and trying to Run it just doesn't work. 0 success.

""If you allow Sisterly Lust permission via information screen"" I don't see this Information page anywhere. Lesbians Rule. My philosophy. My Screen name. However this is Cataclysmically disappointing. The only "Permission" request was Install Unknown. It makes No request for External Memory access. If this game doesn't work at all for Android I guess I'll never be able to experience it.... Maybe you'll release a Stable version that DOES operate correctly sometime. Then maybe I'll think about Funding. It just makes No Sense to pay for that which is non functional. Perverteer. I wish you luck though. Then we'll see.

I'm very sorry you can't get it to run. The Android version is however quite stable for a lot of users. The only known bug to me is the startup error. What you're describing sounds like a failure when installing?

Possibly. I just told you the errors I received. Beyond that I know nothing. Release 2.0 Public then I'll try again. Otherwise it's as effective as pounding my head against a brick wall and having billions appear around me in showers... TY for your timely responses.

I'm not sure if a new version will fix the install error you describe as those are very hard to reproduce. Which version of Android are you running? I've heard of devices running Android OS as old as 5.1.* running the game successfully, so this might not matter. Have you tried to completely uninstall any older version of the game on the device, including the game data (if present)? Game data is normally stored in devicestorage/Android/data/com.perverteer.sl.

I also came across these common causes (and possible fixes) for parse errors on Android: https://android-fix.com/android-errors/34-parse-error.html But maybe you've tried those already.
