ironzu001 With patience. Lots of patience. Keep in mind that if your gender matches the preference of the "leaning homo" character, your Like point gains are halved (Love points are not), and if your gender is the opposite - vice versa. Hate and Dislike are not affected.

is it just about the point? i also checked on Qtedit like in this screenshot, the love point was high enough but the love stat still at "some".
i know i can edit the love stat here, but i enjoy the vanilla way sometimes

It's the "Count" that decide characters relationship, points are used to add the respective counts when they reach certain amount. IIRC it needs to be 20+ to reach the next level,

ironzu001 To add to what they said: in terms of relationship, the game keeps track of only 30 most recent interaction results (12 + 17 + 0 + 1 in your case), after that the game removes the oldest result to accomodate the new incoming points. So ultimately...yeah, "just about the point".

omfg this game is such a dipshit :') thanks to u guys now i figured out how to do it.
because "lean homo" halved the love point with opposite sex, and the total maximum lldh count is 30, like point will always higher.
hence i only need interaction that only raise love which is "lewd talk" ("love talk" raise both like and love, and failure make dislike count)
so all i need was spamming "lewd talk" and 1x praise some time to make the girl stay in mood.

Windows 11 Fix Guide
since the people here are losers and tell new people to read guides -- usually not telling them which one, and not just saying it here so people can search for it.

Step 1: under scripts use wined3d instead of win10fix.

Step 2: Press the windows + r key at the same time. type in ms-settings:developers. Next to "Terminal" select Windows Console Host from the drop down. -- courtesy of dantallis

Your game should run now, but it's likely that borderless full screen won't work.

Step 3: Right click on AA2Play. Click properties.

Step 4: At the top of properties, select "Compatibility". Make sure "Disable fullscreen optimizations" is ticked (THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL.. try it if the next steps don't work)

Step 5: Still in the compatibility tab, select "change high dpi settings". Check "override dpi high scaling behaviour ... " and make sure application is selected. Press OK.

Step 6: It should now work on windows 11 and full screen should also work. I think depending on your mods the low poly characters will turn pitch black when you are in the interact screen for someone, but that's not a big deal.

you can find most of this out by just following the modern aa2 guide, but wording for options you need to select are different so I thought this could be helpful.

edit: still, these fixes can still end up leading to crashes, so it might just be best to play in windowed mode.

voidsocks What "guides" are you talking about? There is no "which ones" - there is only one guide, the one

linked, which resides on the very same page you download the game from...and the one I keep pointing people to since they ignore every single spoiler in OP, anyway.

Name-calling just makes you look like the proverbial pot.

This step should almost never be taken, it's not related to Windows 11 at all and you've listed it as step 1. Actually all but 1 of those steps have literally nothing to do with Windows 11.
Never heard of anyone using step 4 as a solution to anything, step 5 is for people who get a Japanese language AA2 error which states that game resolution exceeds desktop resolution (this happens on any Windows OS that supports DPI scaling), don't know what 6 is about at all.

I have a weird issue. There is the 0% interaction bug I've heard about, however I have this issue not with the entire class, but specifically with two characters I have created. One of their vanilla traits are `serious, class prez, scheming, lucky and evil` only modules are `armed, cautious, detective, family guy, undying and under pressure performance.` they are also both set to homosexual so neither should be turning the other down due to gender preference, it even makes basic chats always fai, but oddly nothing outside that category like suggesting to study.

I am on the latest version of AA2 Unlimited (1.9.1)

FranklinClinton What is their mood/relationship at the time? There are too many factors at play to keep guessing which one is responsible for 0%:

1. A sad/angry character has reduced chance for many interactions;
2. Someone monogamous fails most romantic interactions with anyone aside from their lover;
3. Someone pestered more than 3 times about the same topic during the same period outright has 0% success for that topic until the next period;
4. Result for being a stubborn jerk in 3 makes the character angry -> they dislike you -> you are f......well, in my case, I had single-digit % chance for food/hobbies talks for days. Still walking on eggshells, by the way.

To paraphrase the wiki: "if an interaction has 0% chance, there is a major underlying cause" (2 and 3 are textbook examples of this - the chance is not "lowered" - the interaction itself is "blocked", so to speak). What I would do is try every Influence interaction aside from Praise - you can tell what the problem is by whichever interaction has a high success chance: Calm -> angry, Encourage -> Sad; Grumble -> hate you, etc.

yeah lol. people simply say "follow the guide" without saying which one. I meant, without linking to the guide or telling them where to find it

The game is super laggy with win10fix since after upgrading to windows 11 for me. Using wined3d solves it, but low poly characters in the background turn black when in the "talk" mode. Step 6 seems self explanatory.... granted it's not really a step and more of a statement. Step 5 is because the wording is different for the box you need to check when using windows 11, so I thought it'd be helpful. Included step 4 since step 5 originally didn't work for me until running the game with step 4 also enabled. Wasn't sure whether to include it tho since after turning it off I could still run the game in full screen

WineD3D has the worst performance and vendor support out of all options to deal with frame rate issues in AA2. All 3 of the possible options of Win10fix are more performant, that's why the instructions on the DL page tell you try all of them before ever touching WineD3D.
Also when I said I have no idea what 6 was about, I don't mean I don't understand the description, I mean this is the first time I have ever heard of this issue manifesting. Black low polys are not an unusual issue if you have a broken/non-standard install, but having them show up intermittently is completely different.

They weren't in a negative mood of any kind, at least on the first interaction, after the first one fails they're always going to be put in a bad mood often with a phrase like "If you still don't get it you are a genuine idiot" (testee was a Apricot type), from a few tests they've either been good friends, or at least neutral towards each other. Weirdly enough even the geass script to try and force a 999% interaction will always fail with the same outcome.

It perplexes me since they've even been able to do other interactions outside of the chat category perfectly fine like praising, studying together and even kissing, but the second they even suggest talking about hobbies or daily life it riles 'em up, none of the modules should be affecting it... I hope

Nothing weird there, at least - it is a multiplier, and basic multiplication taught us that "0 * anything = 0". In other words, any interaction with 0% is going to fail, and the rest - succeed.

From what I remember geass will make any interaction succeed even if it's at 0%, the only time it won't is if a module is set up on the card that forces an interaction to fail for example like with a character with Virtuous which will make them auto-reject confessions if you're already dating another character.

Right, my bad for confusing it with the in-game 999% setting - would make no sense to have the geass if all it did was mirror built-in functionality.
