Steins;Gate - Installation/Error troubleshooting

1. Download Steins;Gate game, 1.20 patch and English Patch

2. Change locale to Japanese (XP Vista 7)

3.Right-click on SteinsGate.part1.rar and select “Extract here”.

4. Once extracting process finishes, you’ll be presented with two files: SG.mdf and SG.mds . Mount the SG.mds

5. Setup window will appear. Choose “GAME INSTALL”

6. New setup window will appear - just click “Next”

7. Accept the license terms and click “Next”

8. Choose installation path and click “Next”

9. Click “Next”

10. Wait while the game is being installed.

11. Now you’re asked if you want to create desktop shortcut. Answer “No”.

12. Uncheck the tick-box (you don’t want to run the game yet) and finish the installation.

13. Run the 1.20 patch now. Select the path you installed the game to and click “Ok”

14. After few seconds you’ll get message that the patch was successfully installed.

15. Finally you need the English patch. Download and extract it.

16. Move the patch contents (two files: nss.npa and STEINSGATE-patched.exe) to the game directory.

17. Start the game with “STEINSGATE-patched.exe”.

Hi!
I installed the game without any problems but then the game wouldn't run (I use Windows 7). I tried to "run as administrator" (right click on STEINSGATE-patched.exe) and this way it works correctly.
I hope this can help anyone with the same problem^^

I've done everything that it says, but for some reason when I click on the patched version, the original (JP) version starts up, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,
I successfully installed the game, but when I try to launch the patch executable, I have this error : http://s4.noelshack.com/uploads/images/8251897667706_steinsgate_patch_erreur.jpg
I already tried to execute it as administrator, but it doesn't work either...
Could anyone help me to solve my problem ? Thank you !

Ranclanclank19 Jan 2012Reply

Problem resolved. It seemed the patch file was corrupted. With another downloaded file, it worked.

I make it to the Mayuri part but the text is still in Japanese. I've downloaded/installed/placed everything available O:

ConcernedBystander28 Jan 2012Reply

I replaced the English patch with itself and it worked this time. I suppose that I couldn't >add English patch then update, it had to be the other way around only.

Matthew05 Mar 2012Reply

Uggh, I don't have an MDF, it won't let me extract because there is no DVD/CD and the MDS file can't be mounted.

bro-09 Mar 2012Reply

it's strange, during chapter 3, about loto 6, i don't have the option "not to check", after the change of divergence (sent the loto 6 to the past), the story will force me to check the loto 6 mail. And then, after that, about John Titor, after Suzuha told me to ask John Titor about the future thing, I don't have the option not to send either. The story forced me to send as well.

How to fix that ?

yuiko11 Mar 2012Reply

At the beggining I first installed the English patch, then the 1.20 version, but the game was still in japanese.
Then I re-installed it, first with the 1.20 update, then the English patch. Now the screen is black and only the music is played :/ After a while the opening movie is showed, but the menu still doesn't work :(
Anyone can help?
