Fixed: Addressed a memory leak that caused RAM usage to climb to 98% and the game to crash when toggling video angles (eye button) during animated scenes. Cause: The issue was not in the game’s code, but a known video memory bug in the older version of the Ren'Py engine (version 7) used to build previous releases. Solution: The game has been fully upgraded to Ren'Py 8.5, which uses a modern video pipeline that properly releases video memory. The same dual‑screen and movie‑stop logic now works without leaks. Compatibility: Existing save files are compatible and will continue to work. Recommendation: If you still encounter any issues after updating, please verify your game files or reinstall. Thank you for your patience and understanding – this engine bug was outside my control, but it has now been completely resolved. Enjoy the game!
