What does this error mean?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'digest' referenced before assignment

This error is happening in RenPy code, so is probably an upstream issue with the game engine. @Booplicate any ideas?

[Booplicate]

I doubt it's actually a bug, I haven't seen it before and we'd have totally caught something like this before.

@Justhere-lab are you using rpy files? How did you install MAS?

[Justhere-lab]

Yeah and I installed MAS by going to the website: https://www.monikaafterstory.com/.

Is there something I can do to fix this? Would deleting the game and reinstalling it work? This error appears every single time I try to open the game.
