I just recently installed Katawa, via the direct download link for Windows, and get this error whenever I try to start up:

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

Exception: pixellate requires a 24 or 32 bit surface.

After initialization, but before game start.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.9.1h

What could this be?

Seems like Ren'Py is running scaled, which (probably) means your display resolution is too low.

Oh thanks, that was exactly it. I had it set to a lower resolution to play some old RPG from 2000.

This is the OP btw, I just forgot to login.

KS requires at least 1024x768 pixes at 32 bit color depth to run. Otherwise it will hit a Ren'Py bug with autoscaling.

Ran into this as well, but running on 1280x1024 and 32 bits. Switched down to 1024, worked, switched it to fullscreen, and back to 1280, works.

How do you do that? I tried everything, I just don't know how to make the screen bigger....

Weird, it runs fine on my netbook, 1024x600.
