[H-VN] Canvas 2 ~Akane Iro no Palette~

[omega supreme]

I have the same problem but i play with the screen of the TV and it work well with that so i never searched a solution

Sorry for the slight necron on this game but yeah.. I only just started...
Anyway, encountered a minor minor trouble... ... Im pretty sure the fault is at my end tho, but im not sure on how to fix it... It being a new computer and all... >_>

Anyway, I usually play my VN games on Fullscreen. That's one of the benefits of having the whole room for yourself and being able to use the 'lock' on your door... but anyway... Canvas 2, along with some other games do not make me fully fullscreen it...

What happens after I click on the 'fullscreen' button, basically my screen just went black and kinda refreshed with the game staying in 'window' size while there are black borders on my screen making up the rest of the so-called fullscreen...


I've tried Canvas on my old laptop for afew minutes, before it went boom... And Im quite sure that its able to go fullscreen without any problems on that old thing... >_>

Graphics card compatibility perhaps???

... Currently running on Win7. Resolutions 1280 x 768. Radeon.

I'm assuming you're using decently recent catalyst drivers. They have three different settings for full screen for software that uses less then your current desktop resolution for fullscreen mode:

1. Stretch: graphics card stretches resolution over your screen, ignoring source aspect ratio. In case of 4:3 aspect ratio games, and 16:9 screens, image becomes stretched. If you're using an LCD screen, you will also lose some accuracy unless your monitor's native resolution is divisible by game's full screen resolution (i.e. 800x600 game with be good on screen where native resolution is 1600x1200 - multiplier of 2, but blurry and stretched on 1280x768).
2. Preserve aspect ratio: Same as above, but aspect ratio is preserved. You'll see full screen, but on wide screen monitors when viewing 4:3 content, there will be black spaces on left and right sides, while on 4:3 monitor while viewing 16:9 content there will be black lines on top and bottom. Blurring problem is still present.
3. Preserve original resolution: mode that you most likely have on. In this mode, game places your full screen image at the center of the screen in its original resolution. So in case of 800x600 game on 1280x768 screen would occupy 800x600 pixels at center of the screen, and rest would be black.

The "boom" is most likely driver crash, which reset driver settings to 3. Rather strange though, usually catalyst drivers have VPU recover function enabled that will automatically reboot the driver with its current settings just fine. You may need to enable it though, perhaps it was disabled?


P.S. @ Manayagami: your problem is most likely related to old bug in nvidia drivers where they incorrectly identified PC monitor as a TV and output incorrect size, causing either overscan or underscan. It could be fixed by specifying that you're using a PC monitor for output in nvidia control panel.

I'm actually using a TV, anything above 640x480 displays properly through HDMI.

Dont worry about the 'boom' thing.. That happened to my old laptop... Which is really really old...

Just bought this new laptop, which is in fact widescreen... So this is a problem I've never encountered before. And no, I am playing it on my laptop and not connecting it onto some TV or anything...

So I guess the question is...

How do I switch from,
3. Preserve original resolution: mode that you most likely have on.

to,

2. Preserve aspect ratio:


... Thanks for the help so far.

If I remember correctly, you need to go into catalyst control center and in there find either monitor or resolution controls. It should be there somewhere.

I can't check the exact path because I gave my ATI-based machine to my parents a few months ago and am currently running nvidia.

This works... kinda... i have to manually shift from 800x600 every time I want it to be full screen.. and back to my defaults once Im done with the game.

Thanks anyway.

You misunderstood - there is a dedicated option for this.

Two minutes on google produced this path:

Specifically: Monitor/Digital Panel Properties  > Image Scaling.

hello!! first off thx 4 uploading the game and 4 the translation
but i got a proplem with the instalation...i open the luncher and klick on instal but nothing happens it just load 1 sec and then nothing...i just dont know what im doing wrong.
i woud be very grateful if someone could help me

[Green_Tea]

Change your regional setting to Japanese Locale if you haven't already, or use applocale

[Rain]

im doing both i think the proplem is the   c2dinst   data  at the beginning it opend and i even got the the instal window but now it does nothing if i press on it it only loads 4 1 sec and then nofing
but i dont know why 

[Green_Tea]

Administrator rights? And why would you use both jap locale and applocale?

[Rain]

because i needed it to instal e different VN (got error unless)
and yes im andmin it workt @ the beginning i got error in the instal so i deleted it becurse i could only press the start game button soo i extract it extract new and since then it does nothing

While it would work for other games either/or I'm pretty sure Canvas 2 only works with Japanese locale.

[Rain]

well i somehow got it i opend the packaged data with deamon tools and somehow got to the instal window

after dis i can choose betwin  HDD 700 MB somthing and  HDD 2.2 GB somthing (its in jap cant read it   ) i choose the 2.2 GB but after that i must choose again 

it begins with C: (agin all in jap) whatever i do i get en error after that...

btw the error s also jap so i cant tell whats wrong

[Geckoey Lurker]

The only thing it should be asking after that choice is where to installs the game and if you confirm your choice and then the installation should follows, simple as that.
