Ayakashibito Is Killing Me, Slowly, But Surely.

[Godskrieg]

Ok this has been killing me, when I installed it and the English patch everything ran fine. I launched it and it loaded up the menu screen, this is where problems started. Everytime I clicked something on the menu, config, start, no matter what button my screen went black. Could still alt-tab, but my screen would stay black until I actually closed the game. Wanted to take a picture of it so I could ask for help here, this is when problem #2 popped up (yay), this is the error message i'm getting now, would appreciate any help.

To be clear, I cannot even launch the game anymore, tried re-installing everything to no avail.

The error message is telling you that it failed to create a save folder. I suspect it might be a registry problem. Try following the steps given here and see if it helps.

i think patch doesn't work, the problem is that the version is newer not the old one.

Ok managed to solve Problem #2 thanks to Tenkuru (basically by removing all the registery edits, twice, and re-adding the.). But now i'm back to the black screen issue, anyone got any ideas or do I give up and find a different VN?

As I stated above, game goes into menu, as seen in picture #1 (Sorry about it being so wide, my second screen is also in it), but the second I click anything my entire screen goes black, both of them, computer is responding, as you can see I am alt-tabbed, but can't see anything except the alt-tab. Honestly this rose to the rank of weirdest bug i've ever had, instantly.

Glad that it helped. As for the black screen, try looking through this thread as it seems to describe a similar issue. If all else fails, you can try to download a pre-patched version of the game instead of patching it yourself.

Ok, i've got it working, thanks to the thread, Tenkuru, and a few things I did on my own.

 

I had both a pre-patched Fuwanovel version from a few months back, from when Fuwa still had it, just never got around to playing it. Obviously when the bugs happened the first things I checked was my locale (was already set to Japanese) and then I tried a clean re-install, none of these worked. Well aparently just extracting the ISO and installing isn't enough, you have to mount it and install it from there. Pre-patched versions do not work you have to install it. Now this is where it gets weird for me, I have to run it in compatability mode for windows 98/ME, yes you heard me correctly, BUT NOT AS ADMIN, if I ran it as admin bug happens again, same thing if not in compatability for 98/ME.

 

This, is amazing. I think i've got some paranormal activity going on here because, well, wow. XD
