So I tried following the guide for editing to make characters futa but the texture just doesn't load for some reason. Should i be making the changes in i different area than what the how to says or what is shown in the images?

(flat-chest small penis characters who count as girls and use girl personalities). Reread your futa guide again, check out this traps guide, and see if you can find a pattern for how to do this correctly.Sorry first post has to be like this, been playing AA2 on and off with various versions and install methods over the years, so I'll preface this with yes I've followed the guide and tried all I could find in over 100 pages of this thread, the github, the modern guide.
Yes I've installed all the prerequisites, included in modern download and others and I cannot figure this out.
Recently got a new pc, it's win10. My old setup copied from my old pc doesn't work here either (was an older mini that worked on my last win10 machine)
This happens before the launcher appears, seems a couple people have had this around page 90~100 or so but I saw no fix I hadn't tried, re-tried, whatever.
Tried entirely fresh, tried updating AAU from git, nothing.
So trying again myself, anyone? My kingdom for a working AA2 on my new PC.

Well, I'm no expert -- I only started this game within a month's time from now -- but I'll try to walk you through since my AA2 on a Windows 11 PC works great with no need to enable the Windows 10 fixes mentioned in the guide.
First, we must acknowledge your AA2 may not be he newest version uploaded based on AAU. If your game doesn't run after the next step you're rebuilding AA2.
The guide specifies you should only try the Windows 10 fixes if you are already having problems, so try that.
If that doesn't work, you can redownload AA2 using the miniPPex version. Ideally your mods will come in ppx format not pp or pp2 format. The current version of AAU is functionally different than years-old versions of AA2, so if Windows 10 is making it impossible to play then upgrading your game install is the way to go.
Note that Windows 12 is coming next year. Be prepared to upgrade again soon since Windows 10 is End-Of-Life. While Windows 11 it not amazing it will get support some years into Windows 12 release. Be prepared to revisit AAU-AA2 in a year or 2 as the new OS builds up.

kirisakii The bitch of the problem is that, if we take you at your word, and you have, in fact, completed all the steps properly, then the complexity would likely require access to your system to figure out, let alone solve...and that is not the level of access one should give to anyone over a porn game, unless their mental capabilities are at the level of people shown in black-&-white infomercial intros.
1. based on experience, including my own when I switched from Mini to MiniPPX: are you sure you installed ".NET Core Runtime" and not ".NET Framework"? Unlike Framework, Core is not a core (pun not intended...maybe) component, and is thus absent from "fresh" systems.
2. full path to the game - is it short, like, "D:/Games/AA2", and not a long one? For example, people believe running "portable" applications from the desktop is okay, not knowing that the path to Desktop is not only longer than they think, but it also is likely to cause issues with access permissions due to the folder being a system folder as far as OS in concerned. To re-phrase: short path, not a system folder.
Honestly, depending on how savvy you are with computers, and how comfortable you feel poking around the system, what I would do if I were in your shoes is fire up Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs -> Application, then make AA2Play.exe crash, and check the log for whatever information it can give. That might give at least a general idea of where to look: access permissions, graphical driver issues, missing files, etc.

Good points Tsugumi. I always forget the importance of short system paths for games with deep directories like games made by Illusion -- I borked up my first Honey Select 2 install like that. Also had trouble installing mods to games that were deeply nested in directories like that. I learned my lesson and have few directories with short folder names for my games.
Also yes, installing games in my Windows 11 build when it was then new led to many problems with missing prerequisites. kirisakii, if you want a mindlessly easy way to a working AA2 follow the new user guide and build from scratch--there may be a prerequisite missing, something installed incorrectly (conflicting components from a choose-one-only install scenario), or a core mod that's unstable in newer Windows versions than Win7 but got fixed later.

0xc000007b is a component error, a component required for running the program is not there or broken. It can be anything ranging from not having the component installed at all to having viruses that break the component. The first thing you need working are the requirements of AA2 and AAU which are 32bit C++ redist and directx9c. After that you need other stuff in your system to actually work too: drivers, system components, etc and that's beyond the scope of AA2. I already told some other guy in this thread to use DISM and SFC, you do the same thing provided installing directx and c++ redist fails. If you don't know what those are, you can use google.
After both the required components are installed and DISM and SFC are used, it should work. If not, well you have a problem.

Yeah I can confidently say I've done a nontrivial amount more than the average my-game-is-bork posts, including DISM but I'll do some more playing around and see what turns up. Started on this some hours back by this point.
Will report back after sleep and work, thanks for the responses.
Ah to clarify to those who responded -- and just to be completely clear but also not be that guy; above average level, literate internet user with a hobbyist softdev background but by no means an expert or professional. Prefer to save you all repeating the same things I've read the last like 2 years of this thread and adding bloat, you know? Now I sound kind of arrogant though.

Well ultimately the problem with your problem is that in a way you're seeking help from the wrong place. Your system is borked and any generic "how to make AA2 run" type of advice would be unhelpful. You need advice specifically tailored to your system to figure out what is causing the issue and how to fix it. Or a Windows reinstall.
I checked discord since I know I've seen people with this issue before to see if there was anything particular of notice, but I can't really find any success stories at all. I think there was 1 person I helped that managed to get it to work. From my understanding they reinstalled windows, but they were Korean so the language barrier makes it a guess at best.

Hey there. Can anyone share 02_uncensor_CIV_v1_2.ppx? I somehow can't download it from Patreon, it downloads at 30-80 KB/s and after a 30-40 seconds drops to 0 KB/s and later throws a download error. Tried it with several VPNs and browsers but no luck.
Do you mean a systemic issue where color sliders do not work at all? Then you should try verifying your installation of AA2. I got it working no problem so the issue of pale skin and lack of ability to change it is not familiar to me.
You might have missed a dependency for the game somewhere earlier. Read the install guide very carefully. It sounds like you missed one of the Microsoft Visual C distributable installers.
im not really good with that kind of things, can you told me what i need to do? or where i can read the install guide? thanks for your patience ^^
Sorry, I should have linked the guide when I said that.

. You'll bump into a bunch of links over time.I think a "gotcha" moment that probably results in broken games is that newcomers download the AA2 from this F95 thread instead of from the site linked near the top of the Modern AA2 guide. That's right, F95 has an outdated copy that may be the source of your problems.
well i re download all the game but now i got a 0xC0000005 error, i can't open the game i alway got a white screen, im really tired to deal with all those problem ahah

I started the game on Windows 11 using the guide I linked above within this month. It works fine for me. The tricky part past the game version and distributable C is downloading all the components from MediaFire and making sure not to install any duplicates. Shadowsets take attention to install without issue because if any of the directory+file paths are the same then your game won't work. So make sure to take extra care not to have duplicates in your shadowsets.
im done i dont understand where that problem came from, the game was working before i delete it to re download, now i can't play at all, i alway got a white screen when i open it

volg6576 For white screen specifically - when does it happen? If you see the Illusion logo and THEN you get white screen - more than likely the game is missing files it needs. For example, if you forget to check the AAUnlimited tab of the launcher to make sure it has PP2 option disabled and PPX enabled (or vice versa, but that should not be used - PP2 version is not being developed anymore; that is what JustAl meant by "F95 has an outdated copy").
On the other hand, if you get a white screen and never see the Illusion logo - the game does not even detect the main data file. And that would be...weird, to say the least, files going missing without you doing anything.
P.S. Which Windows version are you using, by the way? 10 or 11?
