OK this game straight out does not work on modern pcs at all
Define "modern pcs" - it runs out of the box on every OS since the release date and up to Windows 11, which requires 30 seconds of your time and one setting switch to get it to work on that OS. Or are you referring to hardware?

someone needs to release a patch in order to address it or let whatever community exists die

I'm a fairly new player to this game and I helped other people get set up on this thread earlier. I'm also using Windows 11 and the game works great. This is just one of those games that require significant attention and time to install. Please go back to earlier pages or search my username to find posts in which I either helped others or asked for help myself and received help.

Plus you literally gave this game a bad review after you announced to the world that you were unable to install the game. very literally gives you absolutely everything you need to run this game.

idkanymoreatp Counter-question: whom, in your opinion, was the "Installation" spoiler in OP made for?

If you are willing to spend more than half a second reading, then skip straight to Other Sources -> Modern Installation Guide for the, well, guide - the game version you most likely downloaded from DDL links is outdated. VERY outdated.

hey, can't find help for this. The Harderlinker.bat just...isn't making the extra empty folders. I've tried redoing it a couple of times and still nothing. I have no clue what the problem is. i've followed the little mini guides some posters have put here and still nothing. The batch says it can't find the files specified or something.

The chime button is the button ends the period.
I figure that would be and I've tried it, and it didn't work.


BUT I just discovered a few hours ago that you should set those things from AAULuncher -> scripts -> settings(of the specific script). other wise they won't work since they aren't assigned to a key, another very useful bit of information that a new player could have used.


Man, I mean no disrespect to anyone especially to Tsugumi who has been on this thread for years but y'all fucking suck at helping new players, I personally never seen a more hostile thread on this site and pointless too.

This is one of the very few games were as a new player it's better just to break the game a few times to figure out of how it works rather than asking for help since that goes only in 3 ways:
1.
2. vague answers that only makes sense if you already know how to solve the problem you have
3. No answer at all


It sounds mean but look at the problems I've encounter and how I've solved them:

1705357744399.png

I've fixed audiofiles and faceparts by not installing them, I've thanked Tsugumi for helping me solve the subtitle part but i was just being nice since I already solved that problem on my own, I didn't got any answers on how to chose a PC and that was the "problem" I've spent the most time on (Crazy that Tsugumi answered on the subtitle problem but couldn't be bother to tell me how to chose a PC) for a new player it kinda hard to find out that after you make your roster you press on the sleep button and after that you chose your PC from the exact same place who does something else now.

1705358715798.png

Still no solution and I think there is none, someone said it was because I was raped but tbh it happens with every H-scenes I don't initiate (Even when I spectate) and it kinda random, sometimes I can exit sometimes I don't.

BONUS: I also wanted to ask how do you spectate NPC ON NPC, I've read on previous comments that you do it by pressing "S" which of course it didn't work and I didn't bother asking since by now I figure out I will also be told to press "S" without any additional information that could be useful. so I went to edit some cards (Had lots of troubles with the editor too, like crashing if win10fix is activated, how to edit a card (you don't, you make a new one and select an existing card by "open the file" and replace the existing one) and you won't see the window which has modules because the program it hiding it so I've pressed ALT+TAB to find it, took me a while to discover those things by accident) and there I've discovered that you need to install the specific module on the PC card (The character you are playing with, for future new players who will find this comment) that allows you to do this stuff, in this case the " " one.

1705359073272.png

I've pressed every button on the keyboard until I've hit "T" to reactivate the background voices

1705360387832.png

And this is where we are now, again a vague answer that would have been of no use and would have started an argument most likely if I didn't mess around with the scripts and find out to assign the keys in script. (+ There are more useful informations there)



So I think, from my point of view at least, We can all agree that this community is a little bit disappointing when it comes to helping newbies or helping eachother in general.



Of course there are a few exceptions like edgruberman and Grim who will soon be crucified for the capital sin of providing actual, coherent useful information

Post screenshots of the "data/texture" and "data/texture/harderlinker" folders. Also: you DID make sure NOT to run the .bat as Admin, right?

I did not do that, no. the folders in the hardlinker are all empty. Which is what I thought was right, at the very least.

No, they should not be empty - the step you missed was downloading and putting contents into the "texture/harderlinker" folder.

Basically, the folder on that screenshot and the 7z file you see to the right (with the date in the name) are the same thing, except the 7z is not as up to date as the folder. Word of advice, though: download that folder "as ZIP", because if you pick "standard" MEGA is going to download every single of those 2k+ files separately.

This modularity (sub-folder for each of the outfits) is also helpful in certain situations: for example, when one of the outfits is updated you can simply download that sub-folder separately without having to download the whole folder again; or you can download outfits one by one if you are low on MEGA daily quota or you get slow DL speed, etc.

This modularity (sub-folder for each of the outfits) also makes it easier to update them and/or download them in chunks if you, for example, are out of daily quota on MEGA.
OOOHHHHH. Nah, ok. I get it. Thanks.

Not to make excuses for people, but I think it's mostly because of how... troubled tech help regarding this game has been over the years. AA2 has never been exactly easy to work with, especially back in AA2's heyday before most of the tools came out and it was the 3D H-game for a while.

It's mostly the same few hundred people that are just done with fielding the same (almost) questions ad-nauseum for the past decade. You still have those that are still super helpful, but they are the minority.

Then you have people like me, whose info is horrendously out of date. The last time I participated in AA2 modding was when Wizzard was the go-to.

I understand that with complex problems but mine were just simple problems or lack of information, and of course I've search this thread for answers but turns out that people were this unhelpful since this whole thread begin (So there wasn't a time when they at least tried), the guides are also made with spite in mind, hell even the

The AA2 community has a problem with toxicity and hate towards beginners for sure

I've reinstalled the game for the 4th or 5th time, everything works perfectly, but now the "AA2QtEdit" won't open. Anyone else has had this problem?
Of course, it's the latest version and the other two .exes work well. I thought it could be something related to firewall/antivirus but I've also checked that out.

Edit: it's like the .exe is decorative, no process shows on task manager.

i have the uncensor mod but for some reason all of the penises r one skin tone.
I had a similar problem before, you have to make sure what type of uncensor you have and that the option check of the launcher is activated/deactivated accordingly. For example, if the .ppx file you have on data is "02_uncensor_CIV_v1_2.ppx", you have to go "AA2Play"->"AA2Unlimited"->"MKIII/CIV". And have the box on the left with a tick, if the uncensor is not MKIII or CIV, uncheck.

If that doesn't work, you have to make sure the other .ppx files on the data folder are coherent, for example I have:

02_uncensor_CIV_v1_2.ppx
21_CCC_CIV_v2_3.ppx
21_CCC_Male_CIV_v2_2.ppx

Make sure you have only one type of uncensor (in my case is CIV, but it could be MKIII or the other one whose name I forgot).

If that doesn't work either maybe it has something to do with "hipixel skin", at that point I would install the game from zero again.
