Use compatibility mode winXP service pack2/3 for your SexyBeach3 exe after it ran the first time but refuses to open afterwards


I got it to work with the guide from this reddit user:



EDIT: COPIED INSTRUCTIONS INCASE REDDIT DIES ONE DAY


Instructions:


  1. Find what version of DirectX your game uses.
    1. PC gaming wiki and wikipedia are your friend.
      1. You're probably looking for DirectX 8,9,10,or 11 (listed as D3D9, D3D10, or D3D11)
      2. Unfortunately DXVK does not work with DX8
  2. Download DXVK from github
    1. Scroll to the bottom until you see "dxvk-2.0.tar.gz"
    2. Download "dxvk-2.0.tar.gz" (don't worry that it's a .tar)
  3. Unzip DXVK
    1. unzip "dxvk-2.0.tar.gz" (I use 7-zip)
    2. Go into created folder "dxvk-2.0.tar"
    3. Unzip "dxvk-2.0.tar"
    4. go into folder "dxvk-2.0"
  4. Installing DXVK
    1. Based on your game, go into x32 or x64 folder (x32 if game is 32 bit, x64 if 64 bit)
    2. Grab the relevant .dll for your game (if your game is DX9, grab "d3d9.dll". If DX10, grab "d3d10core.dll", etc.
    3. drag the relevant dll into same folder as your game .exe
    4. boot up the game and it should be running in vulkan.


tldr: directX gets translated to VULKAN; drop the TWO corresponding .dll files ( dxgi.dll + the one for your directx version, here d3d9.dll) you need into your game directory that contains the .exe file

you need this:

edit: latest release is 2.7 (August 2025)

Hey man, if you find something that works with Sexy Beach Zero please do share it with me. I did try almost everything (I did not try a VM because that's not worth the hassle, for sure)

Never found this answer anywhere, and would love it if someone could help me.

If the HF patch is applied (as is the case with the Platinum pack), body mods won't change the girls' bodies at all. Wizzard will show that they've been successfully applied, but when the game loads up, the girls' bodies are still their default bodies.

If the mods are applied first and then the HF patch is installed, the patch changes their bodies back to defaults.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

THIS. This isn't stressed enough. I went through every trick in the book and no matter what, the game just wouldn't launch. Until this. Now it works like a charm.

Here, use this :
Unzip, go to the x32 folder and copy-paste the file "d3d9.dll" where the executable of the game is.
Sorry the wait btw

I don't mind the wait, I am going to test this soon, even if it does not work, you're an absolute legend.

Working on Windows 10 for me.

Navigate to: "...\ILLUSION\SexyBeach3\SexyBeach3" and set Sexy Beach 3.exe to compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service pack 2) and delete sb3_0001.mpg from the data folder.
