I downloaded AA2 mini, but am unable to launch it in full screen. I have borderless enabled, and I also have my resolution set to 1920x1080p. There is no fullscreen option in the launcher
There is technically no full screen but if you type your monitor's resolution into the drop down no full screen.png it'll work.

Finally got it to work- but playing with the options to get it to quit crashing made me lose my subtitles, and I have no idea if 3D Rooms or JMCP are working.

Now imagine if they had the rainbow trait. lol. I'd move on to a less needy lover.
:rolleyes:

freebirdfreebird What do you mean "lose subtitles"? There are only two ways: either the Script in the launcher is disabled, or "AAUnlimited/subtitles" folder is empty (i.e., missing the actual files). "Enable" is how you solve the first case, "update AAU" - for the second.

JMCP: . "More Cum Poses" part kind of gives away the method to check whether the mod is working.

3D Rooms: right there in the description: "during h-scenes in certain areas". Classroom or Library would be the "definitely works" ones. Although if you forget the JMCP compatibility patch, that fancy overlay is probably going away the second you switch to another position. No screenshot this time - not using the mod.

I see, good luck with that.

I’ll have to check on the subs, though I’m pretty sure I turned them back on in the launcher. I was messing with the graphics drivers to stop crashes, and disabling overlays was another potential issue suggested in the FAQ.

JMCP is definitely on then.

I must not have been in a room that uses 3D rooms.

Thanks’

Right you are - slipped my mind that I actually saw the on-hover tip for "Enable Overlays" at some point whilst playing around: literally says "Enables the display of FPS counter, subtitles and notification overlays".

Does anyone know what engine this masterpiece runs on? Unity? l doubt it unless it really is. Though l wonder about the engine of the Artificial Academy 1 as well, l think that(AA1) runs on the same as Artificial Girl 3 right? I don't know about that game's engine as well.

It's not Unity, unlike the newer games. It's an old engine called Yayoi.

Michealstj Plenty of possibilities: you could have a bunch of characters with detailed textures/meshes, you could have a weak PC, you could have forgotten to enable win10fix in Scripts, you could have simply not bothered with default graphics settings. Plus, the game itself is far from ideal when it comes to performance.

Character translations work fine, but the world translations show blank and you can only choose yes / no. Any idea why?

Edit: Problem fixed. Thanks Tsugumi!

I am also having serious issues with framerate every time I try to engage with another character. I'm running all default models, on a basically empty computer with tons of VRAM and a 3080, on Win11. Any fix ideas? When I enabled the win10fix, the game crashed on start.

Fans_Fun I am twice as useless as not only do I use Win10, I also have no idea how the win10fix script actually works. Maybe someone with Win11 can help you. Personally, though, I would check the AAU Github issues to see whether anybody ever asked about Win11 compatibility, and if not, go to AAU Discord and ask the people there about said compatibility AND whether win10fix does anything at all for Win11 systems, just to know for sure.

Since you cannot run the game with the fix enabled, I lean heavily on the assumption that atrocious (talking about down-to-single-digits, not oh-no-I-lost-5-FPS) framerate is a result of that: you need that fix.

The only thing I could probably suggest testing is: one, if you have things like Software Vortex Processing enabled in the - disable it, see what difference that makes (if any; the on-hover tip itself says "drops FPS", after all); and two, go to win10fix settings and test all three d3d9 variants. Maybe the game launches with one of those. If not - disable win10fix and enable wined3d instead. Seeing how you have an NVIDIA card, I would try wined3d option first - the AA2 wiki seems to indicate there are some issues with NVIDIA GPUs (or, considering how long ago the FAQ there was written, possibly "there WERE issues, not anymore").

Thanks for the suggestions. I guessed that there might be issues when I launched the editor and was getting framerates under 1 FPS, but figured that was an editor thing. In game, it was maybe getting a solid 3 total. Never knew there were issues with Nvidia or perhaps Win11.

jonnsmith156 Could be a bunch of things. Could be their gender preference (indicated by the color of the background on the card): for example, red background means the character is 100% heterosexual, same genders cannot gain Love points with them at all. Could be their Virtue: Lowest has a higher-than-0% chance to initiate sex with any [random] applicable partner without any preparations, whilst Highest require working up to lover status AND one sunday date. Could be your relationship with those characters is bad because of whatever: failed interactions, someone else spreading bad rumours about you, and so on.

You can see that there are multiple factors, most of them being a range of values [rather than a binary "yes/no"], and there is no way to blindly tell why an interaction keeps failing. If you just want the sex at the cost of "immersion", though, you can enable "999% chance for interactions" in Additional Settings in-game, which means insta-success as long as the chance is not 0% - in that case, to paraphrase one of in-game hints, there is some fundamental issue that needs to be resolved first (like calming them down if they are mad, cheering up if sad, or once again could be gender preference interfering - things like that).

Putting this out there for all the Win11 users here: according to the AA2U Github stuff, it works exactly the same as on Win10. Which means you do need the Win10fix, but there is a problem with the default d3d9. You want to change that to the dgvoodoo2 I believe it is. Whatever you change it to, just not the original d3d9, because that will crash the game on start.

:unsure: Tested the three win10fix options myself today with peculiar results: DXVK got rid of all the stuttering for me and kept 60 FPS even in h-scenes (then again, D3D9 being the Internet Explorer of APIs at this point, kinda difficult NOT to beat it). Alas, everything has a price: enabling RTSS overlay crashes the game :cry: Apparently, Vulkan refuses to play nice with RTSS.

Where did you download that 1.9.1 version? I downloaded mine yesterday from the Workupload Racaty link back in page 1 and my version is 1.5.3.
I also can't launch the game on a resolution higher than 1366 x 768, whenever I try to launch it with anything higher than this it displays an error message in japanese and launches the game in 1366 x 768 anyway.
EDIT: mb, I downloaded it from the Racaty link, not the Workupload one. In case this is revelant.

OP isn't being maintained, use this :

Copy the error, ctrl+c works on error messages, and run it through google translate.
