Yeah. Better than trying to use visual novel reader,ITH or other way to understand (a little bit) of what is being said.

What's with SakuraGames having a fetish on crashing for no reason? I can still handle bad translations and I'm not really one to complain but I thought this is only an issue with OneOne1 games.

Guess I was wrong.

one cause of the crash:
missing pictures. The game crash because some pictures are missing. the root problem is that someone linked the pictures wrong in the english version of this game (or someone renamed them wrong or anything like that). If you replace the missing pictures with anything else it works but its stupid work and i cant recommend doing it.......
I can think of 1 Solution for this Problem: find the original Pictures and place them into the folder, but its not that easy. I think the original Pictures for \Graphics\Pictures\Surface are encrypted in Game.rgss3a but i cant open i :/ (Mainly because i dont have any Version of RPG-Maker) BUT IF the stupid son of a Ubisoft who edited that game renamed the Pictures/Link we are still screwed and cant use the original Pictures to solve this problem :/

You're right, I copied some of the image and renamed them as the game asked. Less crash, but you have to encounter them at least once to know what image to copy and how to rename it. There are some other game-crashing bugs that have something to do with the script, which is far beyond my knowledge.

this is an rpgmaker game so in theory you could repair it yourself by comparing the broken engrish version with the jpn or chinese versions but really why should anyone have to mess with that.

Maybe they are doing it deliberately?

maybe the machine translation had a few errors, i think we will never know..........

At least the last 1/3 nearly no crash so you can enjoy the story and gameplay.

most crashes happen in combination with 2~4 character. So if you know there is a scene with a green haired man (Dr. Rasta), a little blue haired girl (Spardia) or the blond Archer/with the eye patch Save it. + only a few with the Spider Queen,

you can "repair" at least the man with the green hair copie \Graphics\Pictures\Surface rase.png and rename it: rachee, rachel, rachele, rachelee, at least you can cover a few with that............

(the wrong linked pictures can be a translation mistake, if the machine translated the jap/chinese letters wrong (yes they are translated too, i downloaded another version of this game only to see that ^_^) )

Some crashes occur if fading/overlay messages appear, (string convert to nil error) i still dont know how to fix that, its one of the bigger ones.......

To fix those crashes Rpg Maker Decrypter and VX ACE editor are needed. Decrypter to unpack the Game.rgss3 file and editor to open the game and run playtest. When crash occurs, editor usually pinpoints the script and line where it happens. In most cases it's enough to add a string check above the error line in game scripts, for example one of those in メッセージ機能拡張 script for early game crash:
Code:
if (!file.is_a? String)
  return
end
name = SUI::MESSAGE::SURFACE_DIR + file

Well, this game turned out to be disappointing. All the scenes are pretty meh and from what I can tell most, if not all, the ''bad'' ends only have one CG. Two or three at best. First one I got described so many things happening but never reflected that in the image. Sigh. It's better than no CG, but it's not worth the hassle with the crashes. Guess I'm just spoiled by games with more art. The OneOne1 games had annoying crashes too, but at least they had a shit-ton of scenes and art to go through. It was worth the trouble.

Such a shame. I was really into this game. One of the best I've played recently lore-wise. I didn't want to abandon it but alas, one Sakuragame work was enough for me to vow to never endure that crap ever again.
