Broken Pipe error

Been playing KS for a couple of weeks when I needed to switch computers. The old laptop ran the game fine without a hitch, but the new one is having none of it. I tried re downloading the files, but the problem persists.

Code: Select all

Splash scrren pops up for a second then goes away. The OS is #! statler, a derivative of Debian squeeze. It was using Ren'Py vrs. 6.10, so I upgraded to vrs. 6.13 through the Debian wheezy repos

I'm gona try getting the latest version installed, but that might not even be the problem. The only issues i found similar to this on the forum is a year old now and not helpful.

Ok I got the game going, but not satisfactory. I dl'd the ren'py 6.15 files from the site, since my repos only got 6.13
I also grabbed the renpy-deps and ran the build.sh files. I then moved my KS folder into the renpy folder and ran the renpy luancher script.

From the Ren'py luancher i can access KS through the projects. The splashscreen pops up an hangs for about a minute, then the game kicks in and I can play as normal. Trying to start KS from it's own .sh file results in the same broken pipe error. Not perfect since I don't know why it's broke, but at least I can play.

Hope this helps other having a tough time.
