Katawa Shoujo Forums

Hey guys, need some help here. I downloaded this game and everything seemed fine... I clicked it to start up, and I get to the first screen [Katawa Shoujo; Act 1] and then it closes. This message appears in my notepad:
I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

ValueError: no standard masks exist for given bitdepth with alpha

After initialization, but before game start.

~~ I should probably mention this, too. When I first download it and it pops up, it does the same thing, but when it closes it says "Katawat Shoujo has stopped working..." 1 or 2 times, closes, then "Adobe Reader" pops up and shows me the first few screens of the game. I have no clue what "no standard masks exist for given bitdepth with alpha" means, so I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

Long shot here, but what colour depth do you have Windows set up to? If it's 16-bit try changing it to 32.
