Halloo
 
So, after a number of minutes troubleshooting this and scouring the Internet, I have arrived at a semi-solid solution for the Muv Luv crashing problems faced when running the game on a Windows 8 platform.
 
I'm posting this year at the risk of repeating the information elsewhere because I nearly tore my hair out trying to find it.
 
The crash purportedly occurs in two places:
 
 - on Sumika's date following the food contest
 - on Sumika's route at the ending credits
 
Obviously, this poses a game-breaking obstacle to unlocking Unlimited.
 
Here are the steps I took to get the game working on multiple machines:
 
0. Prepare your save just before the crash.
 
1. Navigate to the Muv Luv Plugins folder.
ex. C:\age\マブラヴ11\Plugins
 
2. Move the mlhookv2.rpo file (cut, no copying) to another location; say, the Desktop.
 
3. Return to the C:\age\マブラヴ11\ directory and rightclick on the マブラヴ11.exe application, then navigate to the Compatibility tab.
 
4. Set the following options:
 - Run in Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3
 - Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
 - Reduced color mode, and set to 16-bit (65536 color)
 
5. Run the game - it will be in Japanese now. Fret not. Select the second option from the top, and load your save.
 
6. You might crash occasionially. This is somewhat expected. Fight on until you navigate to the scene when Takeru, Sumika, and the snot-nosed kid watch the power rangers show at the amusement park.
 
7. You should be able to navigate successfully past the part where the camera pans upwards to see the fighters standing on the sign. YOU MAY HAVE TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
 - set it to auto
 - CTRL-skip
 - simply click
 
8. STOP advancing the story once the power rangers appear and save the game.
 
9. Replace the mlhookv2.rpo back in the Plugins folder.
 
10. Restart the game (returned to English) and load your latest save.
 
11. Voila! You may proceed.
 
It is very reasonable to say that this fix will also prevent the game from crashing as Sumika's credits roll, allowing the game to save the completion data.
 
If anyone has problems with this or is also successful, post a reply. I'm curious to see if anyone still can't get past the scene using this ugly trick.

I like this! But to be honest, when MLE crashed on me I simply said "screw it" and downloaded an Unlimited save. Cannot say I really regret anything

Nice! Thank you for putting up with the trouble of finding how to fix this
I'll add this guide to the FAQs and replaced the old "doesn't work on Windows 8"

I feel bad for anime-only watchers because the character development just isn't there in this adaptation. Like the whole




Everybody in general still look like they are only acquaintences of each other rather than close friends.

~~~
Only scene I was interested in seeing animated was





 

JAST just put Romanesque up for preorder on their web page several days ago, and the translator says that there is very little left to be done on that project (just some credits images). So there is definitely still activity there. Also, Seinarukana appears to be in the wrapup stages as well. This is just based on Arudoc's blog. It's hard to say what the status of JAST's other products are. Hanachirasu was meant to be the next game released after Steins;Gate but the My Girlfriend is the President fandisc was released and now Romanesque appears to be coming out soon, so... Django and Sumaga are still total mysteries. Both of them should have finished a long time ago but we've heard nothing.

For me:
 
Character-wise
Amane>Sachi>Yumiko>Makina>Michiru
 
Route-wise
Amane>Sachi=Yumiko>Makina>Michiru
 
And yep, I also jumped straight to Amane first. Saved the best for first, I guess.

Eien no Aselia -The Spirit of Eternity Sword-
Gears of Dragoon ~Meikyuu no Uroboros~
Kamidori Alchemy Meister
Ikazuchi no Senshi Raidy II ~Jain no Shinden~
Baldr Sky Dive2 “Recordare”

Well that character hasn't been introduced in Nisekoi yet so i'll have to wait and see ( i didn't read the manga)
But so far i like Gorilla girl just because I can. Aside from  Onodera she's the only other female lead so yeah.
 
And yes my thoughts exactly Kobeni is 100% waifu material. It's like you just want to own your personal Kobeni.

Sorry again. Kobeni best girl this season for me <3



 
 
Sora no Otoshimono is great because of the setting in my opinion. I have a massive poster on my wall with Nymph because Nymph<3 
But yeah tastes are tastes.
 
I never go into romcoms thinking that the romance will be fullfilled really. If it's an adaptation of something on going. Just give up on the romance idea and try to see other good points in it in order to enjoy it.

Typical modern romcom. What were you expecting?
When i was first introduced to anime i would love everything and anything. Heck i watched Highschool DxD and i thought it was the best thing ever created. But as you watch more anime your tastes change. I first noticed this when i was trying to watch some harems that i used to like and now just thought were mediocre. This is perfectly normal.
And i am with you on Onodera is an annoying character. SHE IS. I HATE HER GUTS. But the anime as a whole manages to be at least a bit funny. Here's where my personal tastes come into play, I watch romcoms for comedy a lot that's why i can appreciate cliche slapstick humor, and i already am watching it not expecting it to have a fulfilling ending. The manga is still on going after all. I think the most important when enjoying a show is know what you're getting into.
For example: I LOVE To Love-Ru. Why? Because i watch it for the "plot". Because i know when i first got into it and when i go watch it all i want to see is excessive fanservice.
The same goes for Nisekoi. Nisekoi for me is a comedy with a romance subplot that's poorly written. But i like comedy and thus i enjoy it as a comedy. 
So yeah it's all a matter of personal tastes and it's perfectly normal for you to start disliking stuff you liked before.

Cuteness is not enough for me to overcome her annoying personality. I'm sorry i really hate non proactive osananajimi heroines.

Same here.

PD: Awesome figure <3!

I desperately want to play that game, but the translation appears to have stalled >.<

Well, I'm hoping the Grisaia anime will eventually happen - that, and ReWrite, since that

got me really hyped for how it would look animated. It'd be really hard to do, though, since the routes are completely incompatible with each other - so I don't really trust anyone with it.
 
From what I've played recently, I guess Disorder6 could have a neat anime adaptation. It's mostly linear (just with some endings branching off like in S;G, which could be ignored). A heroine with a split-personality disorder would make for an entertaining watch.
 
Agreed, it'd make for some nice competition to the like of Death Note and Code Geass.

I like any company that is trying to get VN over to the West, BUT I was appalled at the quality of translation for the game Enzai. Seriously, they're charging money for this, and yet it's littered with mistakes. It was like it didn't go through any kind of quality check at all. The only other title of theirs I've bought is Saya no Uta and the translation for that was good, so maybe Enzai was just a one off. I'm still annoyed about spending my money on it though!

I've got a decent amount of figures, mostly Robot Damashiis and Figmas.
 

 
this Eva Unit 01 Damashii was the first anime figure I every bought.  Also, the Tamashii stands fucking suck.
 

 

 

 

 

 
The Chogokin Saber, her armor is made of metal!
 

 
Homura and Inori, Homura being the first figma I ever bought, and is still the most I've paid for a figure.
 

 
And my most recent acquisition, Fate Testarossa Harlaown in her Blaze form.

I like JAST kind of out of a combination of nostalgia and the good games they release are worth playing. On the other hand though their slow release schedule (I honestly think we'll have all seen Avengers 3 on DVD by the time Seinarukana releases) doesn't do them many favors in my eyes. I like Mangagamer better since they have a pretty solid release lineup every year and the fact that they're a lot more open with their customers than JAST helps too. I also like MG kind of has a "can do" attitude about their localizations which kind of helps give them an image as the company to look to for potential localizations of an eroge you really like *coughKyonyuuFantasyseries*; JAST has more of an image of "appreciate whatever they can release" which was fine a decade ago but now...

I'm sorry but you are misinformed. The reason why ef took so much time to be released was not MangaGamer fault. Minori was the one taking care of the builds for it so that MangaGamer could test them afterwards. The problem is that Minori took a long time to send each build. For example, if you look at other titles MangaGamer releases, you won't see them taking this much time.
Oh, and before you mention something about Chou Dengeki Stryker also taking a long time to be released, the reason is because the game is still with Overdrive to finish scripting. Again, this isn't within what MangaGamer has control. But of course that the customers usually don't know this.
 
Regarding Da Capo III, as already said, Mangagamer is working on it. In fact, after the moment they sent the C&D notice it became obvious that they'd be releasing a localized version of it.
 
 
Have you heard about Da Capo III anime? The Da Capo III anime just covers the prologue of the VN. MangaGamer staff already said several times that the script is as big as Koihime Musou. Doddler even twitted about it some weeks ago (December 13 to be exact). Also, for translation consistency, only one translator is working on it.
 
If MangaGamer didn't release nukiges they'd probably be out of business by now or would be just another JAST taking a long time to release VNs. It should be obvious by now that above all, JAST is interested in making profit of each title. To complement, as far as I know they have very few staff members.
 
Going back to MangaGamer, the fact that they release a lof of nukiges certainly gives the impression to newcomers that they're simply a porn company and basically don't release story titles. This is why so many people support MangaGamer re-branding itself which I agree. The current market (reads: people who actually buy story VNs) isn't big enough to support the continuous release of story titles.
 
 
Of course not! Take Eroge! ~Sex and Games Make Sexy Games~ as an example. I'm pretty sure I haven't read to this day a more erotic VN than this one. Oh they were good days!
Btw, it's good the see a fellow Portuguese (yes, from Portugal) around here.

It's always a shame when a company drops a project that's loved by the fans.
 
Honestly i prefer MG due to the service they provide and they're good at what they're doing which is selling uncensored eroge to the world 
Jast usa is not trying to sell uncensored porn and that's the difference so it's hard to compare both but i would say that jast is probably trying to invest in something that will bring them the most profit (like S;G which has a massive fanbase). Keep in mind that, no matter the company, ,the VN industry isn't massive and the western VN market is even tinier.
According to Jast they did not go for this project due to high costs. That in itself explains how small the company is. 
It is sad but money is the winner here and it always will be.
 
 
Is it wrong to have fancy tastes in porn? I'm quite picky with my eroge and nukige too.
Always fap fabulously.
