Hi, so I did a few tests and here are the results:

1. So this bug happened during my very first playthrough (so white text, and no Skip prologue/play prologue first choice). I tried with a new save with the same choices (but this time since it's not my first playthrough, text was gray and first choice is Skip prologue/play prologue) and indeed, this time the choice appears! But I still have a save (my very first playthrough) where this choice is missing. My theory is that this choice does not like being in the 5th position. If it's 6th due to the Skip prologue/play prologue choice, it's happy and showing, otherwise no xD. 

2. This one is very mysterious to me now. I also cannot recreate it, even though I used the same save it happened with??? It used to happen anywhere in the story, regardless of the chapters: as long as I rolled back just before clicking on Flowcharts, I had the error. But now it stopped happening for some reason. But if you say that's a typical Renpy error, then I guess you cannot do anything on your end anyways. It's not very important, I could go back to where I stopped by clicking Rollback on the error, so nothing was lost. It's very strange though.

Thanks for replying!! I'll keep an eye on both of these to see if they pop up in any of my tests going forward.

If the second error was indeed caused by rollback, I'm not surprised you can't recreate it. There was a weird game-crashing error related to rollback that I experienced during the development of Gilded Shadows and it could never be recreated consistently in the same place with the same actions. We had to eventually chaulk it up to something with Ren'py and move on because it didn't seem to be related to my code specifically.

But hey, I get to mark 'mysterious error' off my indie dev bingo card in my journal! A silver lining! 🤣🤣🤣
