The normal d3d9 doesnt work for a lot of people, if you are one of those people like me then this d3d9 taken from dgvoodoo should work just fine except you will have to live with the watermark in the bottom right. leave it renamed as _alt next to the old one so it does not stop subtitles. Took me a very long time to find something that worked a while back so i hope it works for everybody else.
Thanks a lot for the dll, i tried so many and finally the one you shared worked for SB3, i added the config software and removed the watermark in gratitude. For Sexy beach 3 you have to remove the _alt from the dll.

Glad it helped but the guy who made it is the real savior, just make sure people know it was him now that the watermark is gone.

Windows defender is giving a virus positive. False positive?

Also there isn't any censorship that I can see. Nao's va is top tier, great as a tsudere.

i'm uploading the full installed game currently maybe you could try that when it's up. should just need to run the regfixer (but not 100% sure) will take approx 30min thanks to my shitty up speed. will ping you when it's up.
edit: tried the version i'm uploading on a vm and other than an error message wich doesn't stop the game from loading it worked without insalling

just click ok if/when the error pops-up
Alright ill forsure try it when you post the files, Sorta wild to think about even though the internet is semi permanet shit can and will still be lost to it in time, hell even if windows 10 didnt fuck up almost every older illusion game for most people practically all the mods for them are lost in time due to Hongfire/Mega upload both being shut down

it's up check my comment above.
Sooooo i downloaded it but to no avail. Except i then tried running in windows vista compatibility mode and it worked! I appreciate you posting the files n ur efforts i wouldnt have tried that otherwise n feel kinda dumb, i shoulda just tried that from the get go.

So to anyone who tries to run the game using the dll and it wont run, Try all the compatibility modes with it and see if that fixes it. The dll might also work for other older titles while keeping the subs, Ag3 and Schoolmate 2 for example (didn't need compatibility modes for those)

Just to clarifying this iso is kicking off virus protection, windows defender, could I get few answers on this? It's the 'htrn.exe', last night when I tried this I just let WD kill it, seemed to work fine put I only tested a little of the game to see if it ran with the dlls posted earlier. Should I report this to get a clear answer? I'm unsure how to handle this other than asking.

EDIT: Windows Defender notifies me on completion of the installation of the game.

Tip: It's possible to force anti-aliasing:

You'll still be able to see that the game is old, there's no cure for that, but it will look significantly better. Look somewhere in your GPU configuration (it's different depending on manufacturer), it should have option to select game exe and override parameters for it.

glad you got it working in the end.


the htrn file is just a cheat engine trainer (used to cheat in-game) so 100% not required for the game

Thank you soo much. I had an idea that it was the cheat engine, the game ran without it and no one else said anything about a positive hit. Thanks for making it clear.

Subtitles don't show up during H scenes, is that normal? I only get translated conversations. I see this on startup:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Then there's that watermark. d1Polterghost's d3d9 from AA2 fixes the slowness, but adds a watermark, changed it to d3d9_atl.dll and it's one I'm using now. Skyward and CrimsonAwoo's file causes the characters to somewhat T pose, clothes to not render or render off the models, mc has no arms or legs, characters generally look like eldritch abominations. mistermiyagi24 and TFKLR's file crashes on after running, and unlike warmgummybear compatibility mode doesn't change anything. TFKLR's full game download still produced the same crash. Any ideas on how to drop that watermark?

this game is from like 2012 or something. Illusions most recent game is honey select 2 i believe
It is much older than that. I remember playing it when i was 15 or 16 year old. Now i'm 23....
Back when Illusion cared about story, gameplay or the fact you can freely walk around the map instead of having every in menu and graphics that are not unoptimized like Ai or Honey Select 2 or whatever they are creating nowadays.

The last good illusion game in my opinion was Play Home while it also lacks of story gameplay but the fact that its graphics are above average for a 3D H-game and very well optimized with good animations, customizations (u can create beautiful characters with it) and plenty of poses make up for it...

For anyone still having issues with the watermarked d3d9.dll or ones that dont work, making Home Mate run slow or not at all. The try the d3d9.dll and d3d9.dll_alt combo posted here:

https://f95zone.to/threads/schoolmate-2-final-illusion.58946/page-3

Link to file:
SCH2.zip

I did some light testing, just did the morning H, masturbation scene, walked around the house a bit, and basic H with one of the characters, and it works. With no watermark. As per normal backup your files, cause reinstalling is no fun.

EDIT: Cleaned up the post and added more info on the testing and file names.

Does anybody else have problem with lag? For some reason, it runs on 10 fps for me, my computer is pretty powerful, so it shouldn't lag this much and I remember playing this game a long time ago on my old computer, which compared to my new can be considered shit, I tried changing some settings and stuff like that, but it's still the same, what am I supposed to do?

Dragon Sins: It's some kind of incompatibility or something. You need the right d3d9.dll. Scroll a little back, some were posted in this thread.
