Chaos;Head

I'm not too far into the game but there seems to be something that is really slowing down the text loading. I first noticed this when his little sister checks up one him. During the scene, sets of text seems to take a very long time to play, sometimes taking 10 seconds to a minute to continue and then when he goes on a "date" with Yua the same long intervals return.
I've play around with the settings and played on different computers but still same issue. At this rate I'm spending more time waiting for the text to appear than actually reading it.
Is anyone else having long text loading times usually during scenes when he with a girl?

OMG THANKS ADMIN YOU LISTENED :p

asked yesterday if you could reup chaos head and you did :p

thanks

What the hell are you people smoking?

Only things you need to do in order to install this:

1.Mount dvd
2.Install Game
3.Install English patch exe (copy it into your installation directory first c:/program files/nitroplus/chaos head)

4.PLAY

Works 100%

I have downloaded the game and followed instructions but for some reason I keep getting this error that starts with Direct3D. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you!

I tried the RC2 and it crashes in the middle of installation. crage.exe has stopped working. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am unable to extract the files. It says part 2 is corrupt, so the ISO file won't extract.

Excuse me I cant seem to install the game. I downloaded everything and succesfully extracted the ISO. i opened the iso with winrar archiver and extracted the CHSetUp.exe. but I can't install because the Japanese installer requires some sort of CD.key

okay nevermind i found the code its 000-702-000-114 those with product/cd key problems just type control F on this page and type key. it should direct you to your nearest comment. Thanks much

If the files are corrupted you just redownload them. I downloaded all 7 parts at first part 6 was corrupted so i redownloaded the corrupted parts and my game is working smoothly now

Am I too stupid? >_< "crage.exe" doesn't work :< The error appears when I try to install the RC2 patch

For some reason around Ch 7 and up , any new save get corrupt, everytime i try to load them it gives me an error and shuts the game. anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for upload this awesome game, but I have a problem with the translation patch.

When I run it into the game folder, it ask me to press a key to continue, I do it an then a window appears saying that crage.exe has crashed, here is a screenshot:

At the end the patch say that there is an error and the patch windows get closed, when I start the game after that the menu screen get all black and I cant even close the window

I need help, please, I watn to play this Visual novel D:!

admin some people are having serious issues running this game. i have tried several methods recommended by others here, and nothing seems to work. i am running windows 7 64 bit, any advice or help?

Ok. I am overly confuzed. I've read through all the comments and mine still doesnt work. I have already successfully installed the japanese version and i am trying to do the english patch. I tried just combining the pastch files into the original game and it didnt work. i still got japanese. i tries reading the readme file and it didnt tell me anything. what is a LCS? also what is the Glorious Instalation Batch that people have been talking about? i have been trying to get the english patch working for about an hour...gave up and is now looking for help...please help.

Anyone? A way to get after the third melt? And start the 10th chapter?

it seems link 5 is still dead. the download won't start for me.
is this only happening for me?

0.) You may need to be in adminmode or have folder right(vista/win7)
1.) download
2.) extract
3.) change to jp unicode
4.) mount
5.) install
6.) crack
7.) move "Chaos_Head_English_Translation_RC2" to CHOAS;HEAD/dx and extract
8.) run setup.exe

Worked for me, have XP SP3.

No errors so far, played the game around 20min.

Is it possible to play this game on Mac? I've been trying for several hours and I can't figure out a way to do it.

Do i need the English patch(RC 2)that is given in this page only ?I find your guys saying about RC 1 and other similar things ? Do i need them to play the game?If they are required, please give me a link to download.

TO ANYONE WHO'S HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ENGLISH PATCH!!!!

FIRST, MOUNT AND INSTALL THE GAME!!!

THEN, YOU JUST NEED TO EXTRACT THE ENGLISH PATCH.RAR
IN C:/PROGRAM FILES/NITROPLUS/CHAOS;HEAD/dx!!!

THEN, RUN THE SETUP BATCH!!!!!!!!!!

I can install the original game and it works perfectly. My system locale is already set to Japanese.

The problem arises when I try to run the patch.
I have copied the RC2 patch program into C/ProgramFiles (x86)/Nitroplus/Chaos;Head and then run the patch as administrator.

This opens the program for the patch which runs normally until Windows says "crage.exe has stopped working" and closes the program. This happens twice and the patch program crashes or closes, I am unable to tell.

After this I try to open Chaos;Head and the translated disclaimer pops up and then there is nothing but a black screen instead of the main menu but I still get sound. When I try to exit the program the dialogue box that asks if I wish to exit pops up but contains no options and I am forced to end the task through the task manager.

The original untranslated .npa files have been moved to a backup in the directory but there are no new files to replace them causing the game to function incorrectly.

There are folders that mirror the files that have been relocated in the CHAOSHEAD directory. Upon further inspection one of these does contain the translated cgs and I assume that the other two contain the translated script and the system configurations. However, it seems the game will not recognize these files.

If anyone can help I would be most appreciative.

I have Windows XP and I can't find the "Glorious Installation.bat" file I keep reading about and every time I try to run the patch it says game not found

There is sometimes a fatalerror when you load a save, the game will crush when the error pops up.

To work around it simply load a previous save.

People seriously need to reply to some of the issues at hand one in particular is Kotomibro who is speaking for MANY of the people here who are having problems with the game. Crage.exe keeps crashing for some of us trying to install the game and we want to know why and how to fix it.

OAO i cant play it!!!

the game when opened (not patched yet) just says not enough space and closes itself!! (when i opened it) HEEEEELLLPPPP

Admin do you have the underwear patch? If yes can you by any chance upload it :P

sigh...just....sigh ive tried and tried and tried followed these directions...those directions...and they all result in the patch saying "THERE WAS AN ERROR the game is not here"

screw it ill just go watch the anime.

game running ok.. just the patch translation.. that translation no yet complete.. its just translate opening scene and menu only.. other word all still in japanese.. please add new patch translate english please

I was having probles too, my solution is: Install and use the AppLocale and run the game with it. It worked for me.

After working on trying to get this game to work for quite a bit I think I've figured out a few solutions to problems people are having.
1: Patch not installing because game is not there. My guess is you didn't copy and paste the patch into the game folder, this is so far the only thing that has ever prevented the patch from working for me.
2: Unpatched game refusing to open or patched game's menu is just a black screen. Make sure you're replacing the exe in the game files with the cracked version that's in the first file.
3: The game gets past the first bit and plays the intro video only to crash when you get to the room. My guess is this might be caused by your computer being bad, I tried with all my might to get past this on my windows xp netbook, but nothing I did would fix it, my windows 7 gaming rig never ran into this issue though. That might not be the issue, but changing my computer is the only thing that fixed it, and the room seems to be rendered in 3d so that could be why it's not as easy to run.

I should note that I got the underwear patch installed, so I don't know if that effects anything since by the time I got the game working I was just installing each reinstall, if you really want it there's a torrent I found using google that contains it.
To summarize installation steps:
1.Download everything (plus the underwear patch from another site if so desired)
2. Extract the first rar.
3. Set computer locale to Japanese (proabbly can run installer using aplocale if desired but I didn't try that)
4. Run underwear patch if you have it.
5. Put English patch in game folder and run it.
6. Replace the exe with the cracked version
7. Launch game (Locale needs to still be Japanese)

I think that covers everything and I hope it helps.

out of all the games in this site... this is the only one i cant seem to make work...

It appears that a fixed version of the patch has been uploaded. I have installed it and the game runs perfectly as far as I can tell so far.

Gotta say, it was worth all of this effort so that I could see the un-adulterated, not de-gored for TV version of Chaos;Head.

And with that I bid you fellows adieu. Many thanks towhoever uploaded the fixed patch.

Game crashes when I get to a certain point... Is there a way to fix this? I seem to be unable to go past this point. Game simply closes.

I'm kinda curious I recall a patch that made the female characters be in undergarments is that included in the patches link?

Links are dead. Is the english patch still buggy? I installed it a while back and I had a lot of trouble with it. For example, you couldn't save on the 7th chapter and the patcher wouldn't let me patch the game on win7. I had to use my old winXP to patch it and transfer the entire game file over using an USB.

Y cant they just do it like the other ones i downloaded and have it already patched for me? this is making way to many problems

mediafire links are dead! please re-up thanks :)

all links are dead

ive replaced the normal chaos head.exe with the one from the patch and its still in japanese, can anyone tell me what ive done or am doing wrong

where i can download a the underwear patch

I can't go any way beyond the menu. This never happened to me before. o.o

All the MF download parts are down, can someone please reupload this? I'd love to play this game. thx in advance.

What does the underwearpatch do?
