Post Getting DokiDoki Little Landlady to work on windows 7... Quote
Is it possible ? I've tried everything suggested in http://lah.li/forum/viewtopic.php?p=218490&sid=d42cbc462448427d78c650692e049fae, barred getting xp virtual machine because it would be too much of a hassle. Tried setting japanese locale,downloading latest k-lite pack,and windows media player classic(already set it as default,of course). Nothing seems to help it work.

The game would start out fine,then went black screen right before what I assumed to be first sex scene(where you can choose to go next,etc.) At this point no matter what I do the game will crash and I am forced to close it.

I already did everything suggested in the list,actually it's the first thing I did whenever I would install and play these H games. All others work fine,this is the first game I ever encountered this kind of problem.

It's a game using livemaker engine, have you managed to run other livemaker games?

Have you tried run it in winXP compatible mode OR administrator mode?

Ensure that you have
- Updated video card driver;
- Latest 7zip if you dl'ed from my reup list (an extraction with no errors doesn't always mean a successful extraction);

I'll try to run it on a clean W7 environment to check if you need anything else. Though, as there have been many reports about problems with this game, seems like it may have a hardware incompatibility.

What version of win 7 is that ?

Edit : Nvm,I finally got it to work after re-enabling the supposedly problematic "vid acceleration for wmv"(the one recommended by devs to disable it,herp)

Which is kinda weird considering I've been tinkering that option for like 20th times...guess I got this one by pure chance since I still have no idea what the heck made it work or not.

You mean MPC/Mega Codec pack WMV hardware acceleration? The only difference is that it takes some workload off the CPU moving it to the GPU in cards that support it, which may provide a better playback rate.
It is probably "not recommended" because CPU (software rendering) is usually enough to render 1080p or higher res with nowadays' CPUs, and obviously the devs can't test/foresee how every card will handle WMV acceleration. When hardware acceleration is not available, I believe it'd fallback to software rendering mode anyway.

The one that's advised in game's readme.txt. And like I said,I've tried re-enabling and disabling it a couple of times before,only now did the game manage to work. So I still have no idea what's the deal but at least I can now enjoy it.

Wtf are you serious? Are you still able to work it properly? I've tried copying it to the desktop, renamed both the folder and the exe to just "dokidoki" and I even turned off the 3 options at the bottom

I just downloaded the LiveMaker ver.02.12.02.28 (hxxp://www.livemaker.net/download/stab/) a while ago, and it installed LiveCinema and LiveNovel. I THINK I remember back then on Vista or XP that there was a process that ran every time I ran dokidoki little landlady named "Live Player.exe" or something. Is that what I need? I'm using Win7, my WMP is ver.12.0.7601.17514, I have CCCP installed, no VLC, no K-Lite, my DirectX version is 11, what else am I missing?

I hope I'm not too late here, but I figured out how to fix the problem for myself at least.
At first I had the black screen issue as soon as a video would play in the game, but (I think) the music was playing in the background.
However, I noticed that a LAV splitter icon appears into my toolbar when this happens ( I think it has something to do with the subtitles ), and my MPC uses this. I use MPC with the CCCP thingy.

So I suppose the game was using MPC to play the videos instead of windows media player, and I found no way of forcing the game to use WMP instead, until I went to rename my MPC (or more specifically, the CCCP) directory to make sure MPC isn't found, I tested this by trying to run a video file.

After the directory path changed, and MPC could not be found, the game was forced to use WMP again instead, and it worked like a charm for me.

I hope this helps.

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT WORKS

IT REALLY FUCKING WORKS AT LAST

HOLY SHIT

SOMEONE PIN THIS GUY'S POST

I did the same thing you said you did. No, there was no music. For me, right after the intro dialogue, it turns black and becomes "Not responding" EVERY TIME. I went to my Program Files x86 (since I'm 64-bit) and moved the 'Combined Community Codec Pack' folder to my desktop and renamed it just for extra insurance, and I tried opening the game again. I Ctrl'd through the dialogue like always, AND FINALLY I SEE THAT LOLI SITTING, LOOKING UP AT YOU.

I took the liberty to make this simple guide, thanks to Seony:

Close the game if ever it is open. Find your CCCP folder, which should by default be in your Program Files folder. If you're using x86 or 64-bit, then it should be in Program Files (x86). Temporarily move it out of the Program Files folder, like the Desktop, and for extra insurance, rename it to anything, like "glak". Rerun the game, and no more black screen and "Not responding". When you're done with the game, close it, and just rename the CCCP folder you rename back to the original name and put it back in the original location. If ever you didn't do any other tasks, you can just do Ctrl Z.
