Also technically Key haven't shut down anything. ClannadMan himself did (probably to save his face, if there anything left that can be saved). I don't think he actually violated any of the Key rights or even theoretically could by simply filming some locations in Japan (haven't looked at the prises he offers though). But the whole stuff of "I wanna go to Japan, gimme money" is still a fraud. Go there, film everything - then feel free to sell your video and return the money.

That wasn't part of the letter project... letter was already finished for quite some time. This is his personal initiative...Bakatsuki even stated that from now on they won't work with/support Doki fansubs anymore

I might be able to make a proper installer for this patch, if there is a demand... (without pythons or anything)

If this is about new TL, patching isn't hard at all.. in fact after putting files in folder and doubleclicking on BAT it just works. But this TL isn't good and old one shouldn't be replaced with it. I was looking forward to it myself but... oh well.

Of course it is. This project was laughed on yesterday. By everyone, including executive director of the Visual Arts :DD This is started from VisualArts' director tweet where he said "ナニこれ。私は聞いてない。ということは、新しい詐欺なの？"

Yeah, this is what I thought too. They are just giving some info about what we may see in 1st volume, story-wise. But lately I'm a bit behind anime-related news. I thought maybe I missed something and there was official info about new adaptation.

Sorry, I saw that, but still don't follow... Are you saying that if there will be an adaptation it may be as big as 60 eps? Or did they stated somewhere that adaptation will be for sure? Edit: but anyway, volumes 2+ will be just routes. If there will be another adaptation, they'll just skip some of them and we'll end up with 24eps

60 episodes of what? This is about Visual Novel which will have 6 volumes. Or have I missed something? And 1st volume may be as big as CLANNAD.

If I were to pick between these 3: Grisaia - no. Not until sequel is translated. Otherwise I'll die from not knowing "what happened next" and by the time they'll translate sequel I'll forget half of it. And from what I remember, koestl already started TLing it. Higurashi - they look awful, but after stuffing some patches on them to upgrade graphics - might be good enough. LB - no. Not until LB EX fully translated. Otherwise I'll have to re-read everything from scratch or read only new routes. Both variants sux. Unless enough time passed for me to forget LB by 80%, then re-reading can be an option. But for me to forget it to this extent, some years should pass. I really want to believe these lazy asses will release the translation faster. Hopefully by the end of the year... P.S. I saw that you picked VN, but still wanna post it ^^

Runtime error? what exactly it says? Maybe you just need to install correct VC++ runtime or update the one already installed? Anyway, you don't necessarily need to download anything S;G to obtain libvorbis. I'm sure there should be plenty of the downlands on the web since this is a file from very famous opensource project. Or maybe downloading statically linked libvorbis.dll and renaming it to libvorbisfile.dll will work, dunno.

Can't be helped then. I'm pretty sure they do work fine. Most likely you're doing something wrong or your files corrupted.Edit: the last version of the patch is 1.1, make sure yours is not older.

Or pick it up and host all the stuff somewhere where they can't take it down. Huh? Nice joke. Unless Doki upgraded to the official company. But judging from their speed it doesn't looks like they're getting any money from it :DD Edit: On the other hand, Planetarian has an official English TL. Or so they say, I don't live in iLand.

1st video starts right at the end of the prologue before they show you the main menu. This might be the problem then. Try removing codec packs and stuff, reboot, then install LAV Filters with all settings to default. You can try something else too but I don't know a single case where LAV failed to play video in any given VN. Go to the extra/movie menu and try to play back videos there. Also just try to load somewhere before the issue and press+hold left control to see if you;ll be able to get past that point. ^that probably won't help you. While 1st video can be skipped, skipping UBW video is not allowed. Instead you can try to wait 1.5 min or so. While you can't see it, video might actually play at the background. Alternatively download this. Put it to the Fate folder and rename it to the patchX.xp3 where X is the number-of-already-existing-patches+1. This should remove UBW video. (though haven't tested, it might not work at all).

Eh? here screenshot? Where 【・ヘ・?】 Also this "green shows up" sounds pretty confusing, that's why I want screen... I don't remember where exactly starts UBW video, but if this is the problem, you should be able to skip it. So again have you tried workarounds mentioned in TPB comments? They may not be exactly for the scene you have problem with, but might work. Edit: also video after prologue or in movie menu works? If yes there is no reason for UBW video not to work.

fickledorf What you don't understand? All of the releases you refer to are equally crappy. Edit: in fact the second one you linked (from 2009) you really should avoid by all means. 1) get original, untouched, unmodified fate ISO, without any pre-installed patches. 2) go to the official websites of the patches you want to have, download latest versions of them and install. Whether you need to install Fate from ISO first or not depends. Refer to the patch install instructions. I think MirrorMoon's translation will install it for you. Edit2: also post screenshot of the problem. And have you tried workarounds mentioned in TPB comments? Yeah, but it can't be helped that almost every second version of these patches is broken and the only ones that known to work fine is a MM translation 3.2. And, IF you need/want it RN patch with update that was released this year (don't remember date).

Not sure if this related, but you shouldn't use Start_Game.bat if you're on jp locale. Also make sure that your directshow playback chain is alright. Menas no crap like codec packs. LAV filters work well. This is the reason for black screens.

Regardless of where you DLed it, it sucks (this TPB release sucks for sure). There are tons of Fate versions and even more patches for them. The best thing to do is to have original untouched iso images, go to the official patch pages, download latest versions of the patches and apply them. Everything else is outdated. Edit: TPB says that release is from 2011. I'm pretty sure latest update for that version of Fate was in 2013. Edit2: As you can read in TPB comments "To fix the issue with tainted berserker, hold ctrl to skip through that specific screen. Not ideal, but works." Not sure if this is the same scene you talking about, but you can try to do the same anyway. Still that release sux.

Well, I'll try to read all of it. It didn't met my expectations at all, but I can't say it's that awful. Pretty average I guess. Ageha's route wasn't that bad with regard of Tobioka-sensei (maybe because I was able to skip some of it?). Also there was no Hibari or her Father (and no new stupid characters to replace them) so it was far more enjoyable for me. The biggest disappointment for me was... Kotori. I really didn't wanted to see her in a glider again. But I guess this won't change in other routes too. Ageha's drama was stupid indeed, when I found out about her "problems", I though liker "what??? and that's all??". But this thing aside, I liked her character. But more importantly I REALLY liked Hotaru (*°∀°)=3 Too bad she doesn't have her own route... Also I liked H-scenes more than in Kotori route (Though Kotori's cosplay was better ^^) So overall I guess I'll bump my vote to 6/10 for this VN.

Well, I finally finished Kotori's route (it took me one month to do it). It was quite promising at first but then my enjoyment gradually dropped, and later it transformed into annoyance. At some point I started to skip every second line. 4/10. And this is only thanks to H-scenes, cause I was looking forward to see them. Otherwise I would probably just drop it by now. I expected to see way more "pain and suffering" caused by Kotori's disability directly and not her father being a jerk, or sister that has no clue about what's going on even by being there in person, not the place where they have everything "handicap friendly", not all of this stupid drama that they create for themselves like they have nothing better to do. Guess I'll try Ageha's route now. I hope there won't be Hibari, her parents or Tobioka-sensei... cause they are so annoying and poke their noses into something that is not their business, I wish I could tell them about my feelings using some heavy club ( – -)／☆°_。) Basically the flowchart looks like this: intro - they are flying - stupid forced drama happens - they are flying - stupid drama - they are flying, woot, suddenly ending So it the third of it could be easily cut and no one would notice.

B-but that chapter one is a standalone ~6-7gb game. Why would they wait for other chapters? That'll be years before they come out... Besides this is a PC game. XSeed work with PC games? (I have no idea) But fan TL is very possible.

solidbatman wut, after seeing this thread for the 1st time I thought you already played all possible CP's ^^ Since this thread is active again, any news on DEAD PATIENT Chapter1? Where to get it?

Then this is one more reason not to include savedata ^^

Yes, after discussion with Ryechu I see where is the problem. As I never downloaded any pre-installed stuff myself I couldn't think of this, but now here is complete list of the things you need to take care of: 1) you have to make sure that all files are NOT set to "read only". I dunno who, how, what for sets them this way but this should be fixed. 2) save files should not be distributed with game! Always make sure you remove savedata before starting the game for the 1st time. Always remove savedata after applying or removing any patches. 3) do not install,copy,move VN to the system folder such as Program Files.

Okay, bugfix release. Download. Changes in r3: - slightly tuned text pitch - reverted error messages translation (it broke savegame somewhere along the way. too lazy to search where exactly it happened) Well I really hope this will be the last one!

Savedata probably not compatible. If you launched VN at least once before applying patch - clear save folder and try again. Also if you launched it before changing system locale - remove savedata too. Also you can try this patch for FIRST Miku VN. If it works for you, maybe I'll make a remake for Rin patch too.
