Da Capo 3

The sakura that bloomed year-round are now a thing of the past and Hatsune Island is now known as an island that shows that beauty of each season.

Kiyotaka is a second-year student at Kazami Academy who is part of the news club along with the school idol Rikka, his younger sister-like childhood friend Himeno, his mixed-race cousin Charles, hard-working junior who skipped a grade and is in his class Sara, and energetic in spirit but weak in body Aoi.

Unlike in the past, there are no more mysterious things happening on the island. That was until one winter day when the sakura began to bloom. All the news club members got a message on their cell phones telling them to do something at a promised place when the sakura begins to bloom. They couldn’t make out the rest of the message, but are surprised that it was dated 1951. Rikka was extremely curious about the message and the sudden blooming of the sakura, so she called on everyone to solve the mystery with her.

How many heroines are there? And are there also unlockable ones like in d.c 2?

Kyomon23 Jan 2017Reply

5 girls and a "true route" like DC2, i think there is also side episodes but i havent unlocked them yet

Tigrisss23 Jan 2017Reply

Allright thanks and yea there are side routes you need to have al scenes etc

Mike24 Jan 2017Reply

There is side episode! More so, you can unlock it in the CONFIG menu if you already know the game and want to skip.

Game freezes on title screen and nothing happens, anyone know a fix?

admin22 Jan 2017Reply

You don't have codecs to play OP movie. Install "CCCP codec pack" or "K-lite codec pack".

The Krypt Angel30 Jan 2017Reply

Unfortunately the cause is not a simple outdated/missing codec least not in ky case of pink screen. I have the klite pack installed amd still get a pink screen i even uodated it to the very latest version to be absolutely sure still stuck. Furthermore i kmow it's not codec related because the video file themselves play fine if i run them from the movie folder directly.

hellmyhand21 Jan 2017Reply

Oooooh!!!! I've been anticipating it, but never thought it'd come this fast!!!!

Klonosz21 Jan 2017Reply

Is mikoto a heroine or something? Because i can call her at "free time" but she is not listed as a main character on vndb.

exaccuss21 Jan 2017Reply

She might have a side route, although they are extremely short.

Excalibur21 Jan 2017Reply

Thank you so much, seriously !

I'm has waiting so long time for his coming, now he's there...

You are my respect X )

Zeifer21 Jan 2017Reply

I just reached the opening cutscene and noticed that the sound is REALLY low, does anybody know a solution to this? I already use the K-Lite Codec Pack.

Da Capo most low energy game ever, still downloading because why not

HuckleMyBerries22 Jan 2017Reply

Does anyone know what summary mode is? I turned it on but im not seeing anything different. Is it a mode to summarize what happened in Da Capo 2?

The_Great_Beyond22 Jan 2017Reply

When you have already completed a scene, replaying that scene in the story will give you a summary of what happens rather than going through the whole scene again. It's useful when you need to go back to the beginning to do other characters' routes. If you want to view the scene in its entirety with the summary mode on, simply right-click and choose scenario.

I'm having the same pink screen problem. The game loads and I can hear the music but, I can't click on anything. Please help.

Sorry about that my tablet glitches while I was sending message.
- Has anyone found out how to fix the pink screen problem this really sucks every time I run the .exe file to run the game the screen that pops up is pink and you can hear something being said which repeated over and over please help find a fix.

The_Great_Beyond22 Jan 2017Reply

I have seen this question multiple times so I want to know what locale and system you are using, is it windows 7? It's hard to help when everyone just says that all they have is pink screen when no other information is provided. I can't say I ll be able to help but I can look into the problem.

fran0022 Jan 2017Reply

i have windows vista

zero22 Jan 2017Reply

I'm using windows xp sp2 I was told it was comparable so I have no clue to this pink screen error I even tried it on my other PCs thinking it was just my computer but that's not the case I hope it gets solved soon.

The_Great_Beyond23 Jan 2017Reply

Here are the specs for it, works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, OS X, Linux, Windows 10. Required CPU Core 2 Duo Or Better
Required Memory:512MB

Do you at least have the minimum requirements and have you tried downloading the latest CCCP codec pack or K-lite codec pack?

The_Great_Beyond23 Jan 2017Reply

My apologizes for how it looks was typing on my phone and it did something wonky

HuckleMyBerries22 Jan 2017Reply

Does anyone know how to fix the audio when the movie plays in-game? I saw other people say to download the latest K-lite codex pack and I have the latest mega k-lite codex pack but it still doesnt change anything. When I went to the folder itself and played the movie files they worked as they were supposed to but when it plays in-game the volume becomes muted/super low.

The_Great_Beyond22 Jan 2017Reply

I believe mangagamer is looking into this problem right now but I don't think there is a fix yet, besides trying what you already did

HuckleMyBerries22 Jan 2017Reply

well shit. If its an official problem then I guess theres nothing that can be done.

Zeifer23 Jan 2017Reply

Did they said something about fixing this problem? Or are you just guessing that they are working on a fix?

Yeichel23 Jan 2017Reply

Go into the config menu and max the music volume setting, that fixed the video audio for me.

HuckleMyBerries23 Jan 2017Reply

You're right, this fixed it for me too but it also controls the BGM volume so now its louder than the voices hmmmmmmm

The struggle is real but I guess I can always turn up the volume externally when a movie plays.

Mike24 Jan 2017Reply

May be try to uninstall all "special", "mega", "super" K-Lite paks and install one solitary CCCP from their site? I use it for years and never have any problems with video/audio. And yesterday I also had no problem with intro in DC3R-Xrated.

zero23 Jan 2017Reply

I have all the requirements but still get pink screen.

The_Great_Beyond23 Jan 2017Reply

Then my apologizes but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it, I saw this same problem in older visual novels but the fix for those are different to this one the last suggestion I have is to try downloading again with your anti virus off because it might be deleting a critical file without your knowing causing the file to be corrupted

Guy23 Jan 2017Reply

For those whit the pink screen problem, its recomended you dowload both versions of the cccp codec pack (32x and 64x), in the past I had a similar problem whit the videos and I already had the cccp pack, I was at a loss because all my media players reproduced the same videos whitout problem but in the game not, so decided to update my cccp but realised there was a 32x version and i had the 64x, dowloaded it and there you go, worked like a charm. I was so confused why the game not recognised my current cccp pack at first.

Guy23 Jan 2017Reply

I forgot to mention, if all of that didnt work, then update your drivers, heck even an outdated bios can be a porblem.

fran0024 Jan 2017Reply

thanks , i fix screen pink update grafic card driver

RANDOMguy24 Jan 2017Reply

I hope someone can find me a solution,I try open the game a few time and this is what happen.1.thought it as a normal japan game use applocale(only sound appear and the game crash after the sound end creating a crash dmp file)2.use ntleast(still same as the previous 1)3.read the forum that I dun need any apps to open try to open without any apps(see the word mangagamer and crash again)4.read the older comments from here install k codex standards version and set it as simple install(try open the game again,sound and video play but stuck at the schooldoor no button to press page and hang)5.install k codex mega version(see the school door page again still no button)
and here my pc win7(not sure 84 or 64 bit),had k codex install,driver is newest(set to recommend update already).HOPE SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME A SOLUTION THANKS FOR READING

Guy24 Jan 2017Reply

Don't use applocale, it's buggy as hell, instead turn your locale to japanese(but with this game doesn't matter which one you use it's english by default), and k codex... Well it install a lot of codecs, sure but what it sure too is you hardly use all of them without mention the more they are, the more they may conflict within themselfs, that's why I only use cccp. Check out your directx version too.

RANDOMguy24 Jan 2017Reply

I also downloaded the cccp(the 1 that look like russia logo) but I still cant play the game.not sure wat was the problem still.but will try again with cccp.thanks

Mike24 Jan 2017Reply

You must not change locale to JP - game fully redeveloped from scratch using Unity engine for EN markets.

hellmyhand24 Jan 2017Reply

When you press start from main screen, you get prologue weather vane zero da capo. There seems to be a space after Da Capo and before back, suggesting something more, but I can't figure out how to unlock it. Can anyone tell me how? I already went through all the routes and scene recovery, though I seem to be missing the 3rd cg in etc.... section, I have no idea how to get that.

jonny25 Jan 2017Reply

Call Mikoto the 5th time you get Free time to get that CG.

hellmyhand25 Jan 2017Reply

Thanks! I got that now. But do you know if there's anything after the "Da Capo" and before the "BACK" button in the start screen? I don't think it is Side Episodes since you can view them in the extras.

Kyomon26 Jan 2017Reply

There is nothing there, it's just a empty space even after you complete the game 100%.

Aids king24 Jan 2017Reply

does anyone have a 100% save to share?
