Castle Fantasia Renewal 2

ive finsished this game entirely and unlocked all the cgs and h scenes but at the credits it always says: "Castle Fantasia II (Demo)" is this the complete game because i think ive seen some cgs that belonged to cf2r that werent in this game.

Is anyone else having issues with the game being highly unstable?

I've installed all three discs, I can start up the game, but it tends to experience errors quite a bit. I managed to get through my first battle, but i can't reach my second because the game keeps crashing at random points before I can get to a point where I can make save that won't put me back to start of the current scene.

I would appreciate it if anybody would let me know if they are having program instability in the form of apparently random crashes, and if so, did they mange to find a solution? (This question is aimed at everybody, not just Admin)

I've currently run the game in English Regional settings as well as using AppLocale to simulate Japanese Regional, settings. I haven't actually tried to switching my computer to Japanese regional settings yet as of yet, though the next time I get back to it, I will try so.

Does this game work on Win7? Had a trouble before with some games that does not work on Win7..

what the total size when u completely installed the game?
mine was 1.1gb

in battle mode , the character face the same direction while moving . is it normal?

hello admin-san , any other game like this ? i'm really enjoy this game!! thanks a lot!!

the end of the game the credit show 'cr2 demo'
is this a demo game?

i want complete save file for this game
im stuck....
the battle is so hard...
i want to skip the battle ....

I'm experiencing random crashes, much like Outpost Omega J. They don't seem to be fixed to any particular point in the game. Message skip seems to exacerbate them, which given that you can only save at certain points makes it extra frustrating.

I'm running Windows XP on a Pentium 4 system. I've tried compatibility mode, but Win2k compatibility doesn't seem to alter the behavior one way or the other and Win 95/98/ME/NT compatibility modes don't work at all.

I've tried all permutations of the display settings in the radio buttons in the launcher but they don't seem to have any effect on the crashes either.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution?

The crashes aren't totally random. I've experienced them in many places but the last 10 times in a row that they've occurred it's been in chapter 5, right after Hewie says "I can't eat that much." I've seen the game not crash there and made it to the start of Chapter 6 once but the game crashed at the chapter start and the autosave file for the chapter start is unloadable.

I'd really like to play this game, I just finished Utawarerumono (which was great) and I read a comment that this game was along a similar vein but it's unplayable with all these crashes.

Make sure you're in japanese locale when installing & running.

If any of the autorun programs for installation aren't working for you, right click the .exe, go to properties, & make sure you change the compatibility to Windows 98. That fixed it all for me.

I’ve heard there is a second version for this game, you know something about it?(forgive my english).

I cannot install this game, when I'm in "autorun", I have 6 buttons but only 4 are availible (the exit button, the "go to site" button, the reinstall directx button and the middle left button.. What can I do ???
Thanks !!!

If you have problems instaling game just follow what H1111 said in his post. Solusion for crashing problems are:

1) go to properties of CF2R, than in Compatibility tab tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" - choose Windows 98 / Windows ME - as is said in the Readme file going with the crack
2) if game repeatedly crashes at some point of the game just go to sound options in the game and pull the sliders to the zero - that will allow you to pass that critical point and then you can turn on sound again. This advice I found in the Install instructions going with the game trough torrent.

I've just finished one path (ended up with Judy)and was pretty touched how the story developed at the end. Reminded me of Private Nurse and Nocturnal Illusions, the games that unlike other h-games I played were not deprived of humanity. Playing games cannot substitute for life, but at least these few games, and there must be others I do not know about, can inspire you to be more understanding, gentle emotions driven, to give you hope, even for a moment, use that moment wisely, don't let it diminish use it as a spark.
Sorry for this emotional outburst. Thanks very much to those guys that translated it and bothered to share the solutions for technical problems.

Please note that the game often crashes, especially if the music and dialogues are on. This seems to
happen often during some scenes and never during others.
If it does, you can either disable the sound temporarily (simply set all the sound bars to 0) or try again.
One thing, save often!. The saved game will not start exactly form the point where you saved it, but from
a "save point".

I recommend the game, it has a good story that touched me.

admin, are the links interchangeable?

I noticed the "Bug Fix" download. Did that show before or after August 17, 2011 at 3:01 am (The second of the two posts that I made regarding the random crashing)?

If it showed up before, I'm going to be vary embarrassed with myself given I tend to squawk at people who ask questions like "How do I fix XYZ" and there is a download link already there labeled as "Fix for problem XYZ".

the filesonic links are not working help?

got everything to work except the music for some reason. when i try to mount and run the third disk to install the music files i get "the application failed to initialize properly (0x0000142)." error. i dont know how to get around this. thx for all your help and thx for another great game ^^

might just be me but part5 seems to be the only one I couldn't download. the webpage and download button come up fine (not removed file error), but when I click on the download button, it just tells me the link is broken.

Anyone else having trouble downloading file six? D;

Yes, now on my fourth attempt at downloading file 6. All the others downloaded smoothly but there seems to be a problem with this one.

disk 2 "voiceIns.exe" gives an error no matter what circumstances its run in. H1111s method does not help this. could anyone offer any insight? or even tell me what the error message says, since its in japanese. If i knew what it said, I could surely fix it.

does anyone has a problem with stacking text box??

How to install with everything

1. use japanese locale or applocale to run setups (cd1 and cd2), important !
2. install from cd1
3. install voice from cd2
4. copy music from cd3
5. aplly english patch
6. apply bugfix

7. play, now you can run it without applocale

What about the second branch after "don't make love to Somia"? It's lost...

is there anyone can't play char voice?.. i already install char voice but there is no char voice when i play the game.. they say i must install mp3 codec.. but i already try several codec and still the same...

I think disk 2 (voice) is corrupted...
and I tried to re-download it but the result is still the same... can you fix this please

The text is stacking and the character images that should be showing are blackened. I can still their outlines and if I turn off opacity I cannot see them at all. And the chat still stacks.

Solved problem by turning of "Smooth Edges" in Effects. Those who are having trouble try it! 3: For a loss in image quality it no longer stacks...

For those who can´t install the second CD. Simply copy the two files (not autorun, though it won´t do anything bad too) into the game folder. Worked for me. (I am not sure about the need to copy the exe file, but just to be sure...)

i have problems with this game i cant seem to save my games and when i try to load autosaves the screen turns black can anyone help me?
