How to Make the Game Full-Screen

By brod

If you're like me and frustrated with the 2023 release not natively supporting full-screen with the border and hud around the main game, you've come to the right place. This bothered me enough I learned how to dig into the game's code to modify the result. Granted, I've never done this before and most of my "modifying" involved taking anything that seemed like it might have an effect and (a) plugging the code into ChatGPT to see what what would change, or (b) deleting the code. So far, I've been able to play through the first two chapters with no crashes, so it works in that regard. But enough about me, here's how to make your game full-screen.

How to do it

Navigate to the folder your game is installed. You can do this by right-clicking Corpse Party in your Steam library, Properties, Local Files, Browse... and that will take you there. If you want to navigate there manually, for most people the location on their computer is C:\Program Files (x86)\steamapps\common\Corpse Party RF, or wherever your steam library is located on your machine.
Once there, go to CorpseParty_Data\Managed.
Download the file Assembly-CSharp.dll from here [drive.google.com]and paste it into the \Managed folder you're in. Before doing this, I recommend making a copy/backup of the original Assembly-CSharp.dll in case anything goes wrong.
Open the game and if you haven't already, go to Config, and turn off Playtime Paint and Button Information if you don't want those things on your screen, as well.

After navigating through the main menu, your game should now be running full-screen with no borders or distracting HUD on top of everything. Of course, given I was essentially deleting code to make this work, there are some drawbacks I've noticed while using this mod.

Drawbacks

Unable to see characters' health
Items you have don't display in the inventory
Opening the menu while in-game, nothing displays

I last played this game years ago, and from what I remember these things shouldn't be a huge deal, since (1) when you get killed in this game it's usually instant, and (2) the game isn't very heavy on items, so you could either keep a mental note of what you have or at worst write down what items you acquire during your journey. As for the last drawback, it is possible to navigate the menu blind if necessary. It's not preferred, but like (2), you're likely not spending much time in the menu anyway.

And that's it! If I missed anything, let me know, otherwise enjoy playing Corpse Party full-screen!

Thanks for the mod. The new UI completely kills immersion and the drawbacks for the mod are minimal.

I managed to finish the thread I was talking about. It's on the discussion page.

I don't think anybody other than a developer should read the whole thing. I had fun making it, though!

Got a bit exhausted by the time I reached Chapter 5, but even if they never see it, I'm glad I made the attempt. Feels a bit like QA they should've done themselves, to be honest.

3 years.........If it took them this long to port the game to Steam in the first place they might never patch it ;-; Let me know when you finish! I'd love to read it. And no worries, I was just wondering haha

I've been looking at SteamDB as well, and I don't think the record updates are actually patches for the game. It seems as if there hasn't been any updates at all. It says the last branch update was 3.1 years ago, which was the games release date.

I'm actually updating a huge bug report thread on the games discussion page at the moment. It hasn't been completed yet, but I'm not sure if any developer will ever see it, so it might be a futile effort.

It's mainly about the SFX and audio mixing problems, but I did mention the lack of a true fullscreen mode. Should be finished in a week or so. If only I could reach them somehow...

And no, I don't speak Japanese. Sorry!

No worries! Yeah, sorry about the drawbacks, I'm not very familiar with editing other people's code, especially when what I saw didn't have comments to label what was going on >.> I guess this game is on the back burner for them, though looking at SteamDB it seems to still be getting updates every month or so, so I'm not sure what's going on. I sent a message to XSEED through their website asking if this could be implemented before I did it myself, no response as of yet. Do you speak Japanese, by the way?

Thanks so much for this. It's how the game is supposed to look!

Shame about the menu being hidden, though.

Honestly, it's disappointing this version has yet to receive a patch for the sound issues, and a fullscreen option.

They should've been able to implement an official version of something like this, especially if a user can make their own fix!
