And to think, I just started to watch the anime version.
I haven't seen the anime yet, or read the manga version and I'm a little on the fence about downloading this.
story wise i loved it, its greatly insane and serious just when it needs to be and fun to watch.
though im basing this completely on the anime.
time to download!
haven't played yet (still downloading) but chaos;head was good and they belong to same series. + i've heared this is good.
So: If you liked chaos;head, try this too.
If you didn't like chaos;head, you have something wrong in the head, but still try this one.
thanks I'll go download it! And I guess I have to watch the anime at some point too. =D
@nobody11,
I've never played Chaos;Head (though I guess that means that there still is something wrong with my head.=P) But if I like Steins;Gate, I'll be sure to try it.
If you want to help out, then spread the word.
Is this the full translation?
didnt notice before >_<
i love kurisu's voice actress
Does anybody know how to make it work properly?
But I'm gonna play Katahane and then watch the anime first.
I put the patch in the game folder,but it doesn't work. The game doesn't start,normaly and patched. How can I resolve this problem?
(I'm an Italian sorry for the grammatical error. P.S.:Good site!)
cause on the site of the translation,they said they are re editing the images and text to be 100% sure
enjoy the story bro :D
Also - i'm keeping patches as separate downloads, so when there's newer version of patch released ( edited/fixed typos etc.) all you have to download will be about 15MB.
El.
Psy.
Congroo.
and i would like to play it again.
http://masterwiki.net/steinsgate/index.php?plugin=attach&refer=%BC%C2%C0%D3%A1%A6%B9%B6%CE%AC&openfile=SteinsGateChoicesAll.png
Check downloads.
OK, I'll take them all!
It's here!!!!!!!!!!!
can som1 answer this question when daru is explaining sern does any1 else's stop working.. Steins Gate has stopped working windows is finding a solution
I put the patch in the game folder,but it doesn’t work. The game doesn’t start,normaly and patched. I have the japanese local setup.How can I resolve this problem?
(I’m an Italian sorry for the grammatical error. P.S.:Good site!)
If the game merely freezes after you execute it, it may be a codec movie problem (just download and install the latest codec pack).
ofcourse i bought the game so i dont know what u get here i only got the patch here and the cosplay patch through torrent
First install the 110 update, then crack, then finally english patch.
Installed the game, update, crack, patch... the game opens, but nothing happens when I click on "Start" :(
Sadly, even after getting the initial game to work, it repeats indefinitely just as Okarin puts the bananas into the microwave.
I've tried uninstalling it but it still happens. I don't know what to do. Help please?
AT the beginning of chapter 2, when Doru starts talking about STERN the game crashes always at the same point. he says something like:
"It's close to the border of switzerland and france at outskirts of Genova at birthplace of famous-"*Crash*
It seems to be because translator messed up a part of the script, but i'm not sure... Anyone else has this problem?
Also, where are the savefiles located? so i can reinstall it without losing 3 hours of reading.
chaninging the nss file to original and getting past that line SHOULD work...(haven't tried yet)
press ctrl
Most likely the "STEINSGATE-patch.exe" formats its saves differently from the original but kept the original load function so you can load files created before the patch with the patched version but not the other way around. But that's just a theory. Think of it as trying to load the save from the wrong game or something.
can anybody help me with something?
i kinda want to sort of extract the CG in the game and well does anybody know how and if it will work on other VN to?
extract as in be able to view it with out opening the game
How? Extract the CG-file in the game folder/CD.
How to do that? No idea.
Can anyone tell me what kind of video codecs does this VN need?
I can get passed it if I remove the vids from the gamefolder, so it's definitely a video problem
PS Thanks for another great game Admin.
If that the case you should say it's a trial patch and not a complete patch.
But i wasn't able to delete my comment :)
But you can only advance to the next scenairo buy answering certain phonecalls (you get many and most of them are meaningless), while only specific calls will let you reach the true ending^^
Regarding the chapter 2 SERN explanation crash, I myself have confirmed it. At this point we just have to wait for the English patch fix, as proof I got 'FONT incolor="#ff7080" outcolor="#000000">HTML...' message in the game text box when it crashed. So the speculation about the translator's input error regarding text color syntax causing the crash is probably true...
will help me a lot
i've tried to mount the game, but for some reason, i get an error saying can't mount the MDS file either.
Does anyone know a solution?
As for those who're having problems installing it:
1. Set the locale of your system to Japanese (might need to stay in it while playing too)
2. Extract and install the main game. When this is complete, and it automatically starts up a new install process for the authentication software, quit.
4. Update the game to version 1.1 (possibly optional)
5. Apply the unedited English translation patch by copying the extracted files into the folder the game was installed in (should be something along the lines of C:/Program files/NitroPlus/STEINS;GATE).
6. (optional) apply the menu screen and/or subtitled opening video by copying the files into the folder the game was installed in.
7. Launch the game through the STEINSGATE-patch.exe file that came with the English translation patch (i.e. not the shortcut it might have placed on your desktop).
It's what worked for me on Windows 7 x64. Though I can't really guarantee it'll work for everyone, nor that it'll fix that "libvorbisfile.dll" problem some folks seem to be having (never ran into that one myself).
Thanks again for all your effort with this game and the site in general. Really appreciate it.
Seems like people who get this error simply doesn't have any codec pack installed, as it's part of like every codec pack in existence.
This is what the error said:

Anyone know what should I do with this?
P.S. Sorry if my English is bad, English is not my 1st language
Try staying on the main menu without doing anything for 1-2 minutes, and it should autolaunch a trailer for the game. If that one doesn't run either, then it's probably a lack of support for the video files the game use.
You could also try to download the English movies subtitles patch, which translate the opening video, and see if it'll launch using that.
Can you give me full adress
AppData is a hidden folder by default, but you can simply navigate to your user folder and add \AppData to the path at the top of the window. Or go to control panel, folder settings, and enable the showing of hidden folders.
Sorry for double post.
I don't believe that'd help though.
wtfamireading.jpg
someone help!
Does anyone know how to fix this??
I'm doing more testing, but if anyone has any answers or suggestions, I'd be very grateful.
Why does this only happen to a few people too :(
thanks
Keep up the good work! erogedownload.. hope the chapter 2 error will be fixed by tomorow
when im on the title screen and try to start new game it doesnt start at all and stays at the title screen please help
In fact , but only some rare times , it crashes when I try to load .
pleassss help
I can just play the game with the normal exe but with that i will be missing a lot of stuff, for example : stuff that appear on the phone become remained untranslated.
I already finished Chapter 2. If anything just try playing again from the beginning and skipping up until the SERN part and then play normally.
it can't be download
1. Mount ISO
2. Install the game normally
3. Install Update 1.20
4. Copy english patch
5. copy the rest
Ps. Name of the game Sensei 2
Steins;Gate.part5.rar Packed Data CRC failed in Steins\SG.mdf The file is corrupt.
Can't unzip them.
However, errors like the chapter 2 SERN error may occur, so if you don't wanna encounter stuff like that, just wait for 'em guys to finish checking everything.
Probably it's something that they still need to fix.
We have to wait, even though we love the game so much.
whenever I click "Start" it throws me back to the main menu
I tried the patch, translation patch, system patch, and run as admin
any fix for this problem?
I'm using Win7 64bit btw
Cause i download from both sites, filesonic and fileserve
Savegame might still contain corrupted scripts in question so you might need to load earlier save or start over.
what a difference from ver 1.1?
when i already update it to be ver 1.2
then im replace it again with English patch?
CMIIW please
need info about that
cause im still not really understand
ty
needed also a walkthrough for this. if there is any
whenever I click “Start” it throws me back to the main menu
0- Extract game
1- Load/mount iso
2- Install game successfully
3- Patch to 1.20
4- Extract english patch files (patched exe and another file)
5- Extract movie subs patch
6- Extract menu/etc patch
7- Run patched .exe
8- I can enter every menu but when i click on -Start- it takes me back to the main menu where i had pressed -Start- after 1 or 2 sec
The only thing different i noticed from the steps that were indicated in the guide is that the version is not 1.1 but 1.20. Or am i missing something else afterall? Thanks for your time and awesome job at translating btw.
For the translation wise should i wait until further update?
And for the patch update? is this a final version?
Sorry for asking so many question at a time
As some other guy mentioned before who is also having the same problem, i'm running windows 7
Game works fine now
I mounted the SG.mds file onto my daemon tools and I installed it.
I went to the crack and it says cannot find libvorbisfile
okay, so I check the Update110 and it says http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t231/dimsumboy22/haker.jpg
dunno what that means... oh well..
So I get the Stein;Gate English Patch and put the whole folder into my Stein;Gate folder in the program files...
I double-click on STEINSGATE-patched.exe and I get the same error:
"it says cannot find libvorbisfile"
okay, I have libvorbisfile in my steins;gate folder and to double check I put another libvorbisfile in the steins;gate English patch folder... still can't find it.
so I'm stuck... any suggestions?
when i go to config menu , then i back again to tittle menu
it always crash when exit or load to the game.
did anyone have some problem like me?
it just appcrash
is that normal?
but that happened while i try to go to config menu then leave to tittle menu again. when im try to load game or exit the game
it always crash. stop working something like that.
any solution?
If so, then it's probably due to that. These aren't finalized versions of the patches, so if you're able to play the game by not messing with the config menu beforehand, then it doesn't sound like much of a practical problem.
than apply the new ENG patch(See above post start)
"HF pAppLoc.exe" for the people asking how to make this japan local you just need this file to run the game.
It's working fine for me.
~El Psy Congroo
When I install it everything seems to install fine but when I press Start it goes black for a moment then comes right back to the title screen. Somebody on one of the forums (Hongfire) said that this is what happens when you don't have the v1.20 update installed, so I suspect that using the v1.10 update file is likely my problem.
Do you know where there is a proper v1.20 update patch?
Oh well, I will try Chaos;Head and see if that works any better for me, though I loved the Stein's Gate anime!
Thanks admin
I'm really waiting for this game
You're the best!!
You're supposed to download 5 files, but they all have the same files in them, what the hell? Or at least the names are the same so they overwrite each other, what exactly am I supposed to do with these multiple .rars? Extract 'em all or?
Anyway, I tried extracting all files and letting 'em overwrite. I installed the game, replaced the "nss.npa" file with the one from the english patch, and tried running STEINSGATE-patched. It got an error, but when I copied into the STEINS;GATE folder it worked, but not in english. The normal/original startup didn't work at all.
Same thing happened when I tried only extracting part 1 and installing, though I got a little more moonrunes that I can't read from the installwizard.
I really don't know what to do, can anyone help? (and yes, I changed my locale so it's not something like that)
1) download all files
2) extract part 1 to whatever folder
3) mount .iso with damon tools (if it's a virtual CD), otherwise skip to step 4
4) run installer (if game didn't come preinstalled)
5) copy patch into main directory
6) run
Make sure you're system's locale is set to Japanese if it crashes.
If you did, it'll somehow revert the translated patch (nss.npa) into a untranslated one (You can see the date changed when you do it, it changes from 9/20 into 9/1)
So if did got the game working but not in english, and SGupdate120.exe is giving you moonrunes (Like the problem it was giving me), then try overwriting the nss.npa patch again and run the game. it should be in English this time around!
Hope this helps you like it did with me.
I played it a bit but got stuck in chapter 1 where Okarin would constantly look for his phone in his pockets. I noticed I had the 1,00 version since I forgot to update. I ran the update and refreshed the nss.npa ans now it seems to be working. I just have to play through the prologue again....
Thanks so much for the help!
I've installed patch 1.20 and it still has the same problem, anyone know the solution to this?
Someone mentioned making a fix to the game's script, but im not sure how to do that
When i click start, the screen turn black as though it's going to start, but it gets back to the menu >_<!
So you have to use AppLocale (it works under WIndows 7, I tried) and start the with it. Or better: Localize your system to Japanese Locale. Otherweise you won't get past the menu. (At least not at the current development)
>__<
HEPL!
it's right in front of me! the english translation!!
Mwahhhahahahahh!!(Maddo scientist laugh)
Ty admin, is this eroge or all ages?
I’ve installed patch 1.20 and it still has the same problem, anyone know the solution to this?
Someone mentioned making a fix to the game’s script, but im not sure how to do that
they still doing "Operation Redigering", they said the patch will be relased ETA Christmas.
Load your game but don't load from chapter 2 because the game will crash again.
If you have a save point near the end of chapter 1 then it's good, all you need to do is load from that savepoint and play normally.
I'm using this method and I'm on chapter 3 now.
well this patch isn't finished yet so you can expect some error when playing this game
Can anyone help me with this?
I'm thinking about making "installation/troubleshooting" page for every game posted where questions like "hot to install this game step by step", "why i have no sounds" or "where are the saves stored" will be answered.
I'll take a lot of time tho...
There are multiple ways you could go making a archive, you could make trubleshoot threads, which people could post their problems a bit like how it is now. or make a collection of people's posts which how they fixed the problem. from the normal comments.
The latter idea is proborly the best, its the most effective and user friendly. But then again you wowuld would have to pick out the notable comments, that can be abit work.
my 2 cents.
Unfortunately it's really titanic work - there are currently 216 posts and 10767 comments, and with 13000 unique visitors daily there are more comments added every day...

If you haven't gotten the Kurisu Ending yet, I recommend saving before you send the D-mail in Chapter 9 and not send right away and then in Chapter 10 don't respond to Kurisu's mail.
Another thing to note is: different operation systems; Vista, xp and windows 7. There might be a few different problems to each OS-to each different game but sometimes. Problematic enough to to make sperate threads for them.
(I don't know how much the different OS's are connected to different bugs, you know this better me!)
Example: XP trubleshoot: -no sound -> change system locale.
Vista trubleshoot: -no sound -> make manual path with reg file.
But then again this isin't really neccecary over 90% of the games, i would say just the most popular and the most bugged games.
my 2 cents.
In total there are 6 Endings: the Suzuha End in Ch6, Faris in Ch7, Rukako in Ch8, either the Mayuri or Kurisu End in Ch10, and the True End. To get the Mayuri End you just have to NOT follow the guide I posted. You can't get the Mayuri End if you try to get the Kurisu End.
I recommend going through the game however you want on the first run, saving and getting all the other endings with the Mayuri End and then play again following the Guide I posted to get the True End which the guide is for. I also put an easy way to get the Kurisu End if you haven't gotten it yet while following the guide.
you do walk in on someone in the shower though
I think that's about it, but I haven't made it past C6 yet
Figured out the patch came from there. It's sorta a random alpha patch, though, so is buggy. Some of the voice files won't start, for example, because of the script. The text shows up as English but the voice does not start even though it has voices as an option in the backlog.
For those getting voice or crashing errors, you might want to want until an official patch is released at that site.
Slowly, she finally turns her head towards me--
Try'd many of the things in the comments, none worked -_-
Sad face. >_<
Try'd to backtrack, restart, new settings, so on.
Anyone know anything?
I've downloaded all the files and extracted them, but when I run STEINSGATE.exe I get the system error message: "The program can't start because libvorbisfile.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
I've tried downloading libvorbisfile.dll and extracting it to my system directory, but it doesn't work. Also, I've already set my computer locale to Japan.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
In Step 2 of the installation, I'd change it to "Extract and install the main game. The setup is the .mdf file and you need to use a drive emulation program to mount it. When this is complete, and it automatically starts up a new install process for the authentication software, quit."
This would help those who aren't familiar with installing visual novels, as this is the first visual novel I installed.
The game always crashed at the final scene when
"Slowly, she finally turns her head towards me–"
Can Someone help?
Someone please help!
You guys whoever you are have my earnest gratitude
I'm encountering a little problem...
My OS is Vista, japanese locale is set.
I have downloaded, extracted, cracked and patched everything correctly. (Used the 1.20 and the English patch)
Means Steins;Gate is opening up the way it should...
Save for the fact that the overall graphics are VERY blurry, rendering the font illegible. This is the second .iso I tried to download, but I'm still having the same problem.
Thanks for help in advance~
I've tried everything and have wasted hours and hours of time trying to find it but I just can't get the mail in chapter 8 to appear.
Mediafire or anything will help.
Thanks
I have seen all the others if it makes in difference, and I have saves all the way throughout the story on both my first and second run through. Anyone know what I'm screwing up here
Ah, now that I think about it, it may have been completely obvious and I forgot to put it. One of the major requirements for the True End is to not pull out your phone while talking to Kurisu. So in ch9 and 10 occasionally pull out and play with your phone for a little bit to get Kurisu's End.
Does anyone have -any- clue before I go out of my mind.
PS.: I never played this kind of game, but this game is kinda boring... Its like reading a book, i like read, but its a game, isnt it? =/
The only interactions are choose one of the links on the mails and anything more... =X
That being said, Steins;Gate has to be one of my new favorite games of this year. If you're looking for some gameplay I recommend Kara no Shoujo for Phoenix Wright style investigations, Big Bang Age and Sengoku Rance for turn based fighter, or even Monster Girl Quest. All of which you can find on this site.
After deleting and downloading and -hoping- that this game might actually work each time I -finally- figured out the issue.
Rename the folder STEINS;GATE to STEINSGATE.
Apparently Windows doesn't approve of the ;.
I'm so glad I get to -finally- play this game.
Good luck and have fun!
Admin, would you mind adding that to the desc?
It would probably save future comments/complaints about it!
Not that I blame ya =P
Another thing to note is that the guide will set you on the Kurisu route and all you have to do to get her End is follow the part at the end and use your phone as well in ch9 and 10 in front of Kurisu.
Basically if you turn on auto skip in the options (if using japanese options just change all the options till Ctrl becomes auto skip). The auto skip will stop on its own when you get an important choice such as sending a d-mail, in chapters 6 and 7 you'll get a chance near the end of the chapters to send the D-mail which will cancle suzu's memories, and the D-mail sent from faris' phone will cause her father to die and will continue the game (skipping these girls ending). You have to pull out your phone and select 'send mail' after this you'll continue on the true route. Hope this helps. Not sending the d-mail causes those girls end to trigger and the game will stop.
For example with suzu's end, okarin will be in front of the microwave-ophone deciding whether or not to send a D-mail to cancle pursuit of suzu when she originally fails to meet her father and tries to run/time warp out. If you juct keep skipping through that part you'll trigger her end but if you use your phone to send the d-mail it will skip to chapter 7. Hope this is clear.
Phantom, could u kindly share where u found the walkthrough for this game? THANK YOU!
One question tho, the guide wasnt too clear on how to get the kurisu and mayuri ending, could u perhaps explain it again?
I know how to get the true ending, just got to folo the guide
The only thing the guide is need for is getting the True End and the Kurisu End with changing what you do at the end of ch9-10. The only requirement for the Mayuri End is to NOT be on the Kurisu/True End route.
I'll try loading the save and using the d-mail instead
What are the system requirements?
Supported OS: Windows XPhome / XPPro (Japanese) (since SP2)
32bit only for Windows Vista / 7 ※
CPU: Pentium4 3GHz or higher, Core2Duo or higher recommended
HDD: 3.0GB or more free space

VGA: DirectX9.0c capable Video card, 64MB minimum. higher is recommended.
i don't know about the Applocale.
now it works flawlessly~ ^^
When I tried to open the glossary, my game crashed. But other than that overall the game works perfectly.
Anyone here who knows how to fix this problem? Thanks :)
And "Steins;Gate has stopped responding" window pops up after the CAUTION logo in the beginning.
Reinstalled 5 times, and still can't find why its not working.
every time i click the new game menu, the menu screen show up again and the game didn't start. i've already re-installed it several times and still i only could go as far to the menu screen
This list assumes you downloaded all the files available, the five parts for the game, the English patch, the movie subtitles patch, the menu patch. It also assumes you're using XP or Vista.
1. Once you've downloaded the game open part 1 of the first five files. Extract that to somewhere (My Documents can be a good place to put it).
2. Use a program like Daemon Tools Lite to mount the MDS file SG. It will ask you if you want to install. Say yes. It will be in Japanese so there isn't much you can do except click on the button with 'N' on it whenever it comes up. At one point you will be brought to a contract in Japanese, don't worry about it. Click on the selection that will let you hit 'N'. As a note you don't have to install it in Program Files, but do so. It's easier than installing it elsewhere.
3. Once it's finished installing don't play just yet. Open up the file with the English patch (SteinsGateEnglishPatch2). Go to a place probably like this (as mentioned by the people on this site) C:/Program files/NitroPlus/STEINS;GATE . You get there usually by opening Computer, go to the Hard Drive Disk, go to Program Files, go to the NitroPlus folder, then go to STEINS;GATE folder.
4. Now take the STEINSGATE-patched.exe and nss.npa and move them into the STEINS;GATE folder. Don't try to move the other one named SteinsGateEnglishPatch. First the computer will want permission to do this (make sure the account you're on has administrator access). Then it might need you to give it permission again. Then it will tell you that there is another nss.npa. Click on the choice to 'Move and Replace'. That's the basic stuff taken care of.
5. At this point you should have the game's text in English (to make sure open it by clicking on the file STEINSGATE-patched, should look like Makise's face). However the movies, menus and cell phone won't be. X out the game and go to the next step, step 6.
6. Open the file SteinsGateMovies. Then go to the STEINS;GATE folder and go to the DX folder in it. It should be the only folder inside so you can't miss it.
7. Move the following from SteinsGateMovies into the DX folder: prologue01.ngs, prologue02.ngs, imv041.ngs. Again the computer will ask for your permission and you will need to choose 'Move and Replace' when the option comes up. Now you can understand what Okarin is saying in the first movie. Open the game again to make sure. After that X out the game and go to step 8. Note that this isn't absolutely necessary to play the game but it is interesting.
8. Now open the part 1 of the last two files you downloaded. SteinsGateCGPatch.part1 (part 2 you can't use). There is just one file in it, cg.npa. In your Program Files go back from DX folder to the STEINS;GATE folder. Move the cg.npa file into it. Once again you'll probably have to give permission and use 'Move and Replace'. Now you can understand those TIPS at the top of the screen, the menu and you can understand what the game's telling you about the cell phone. It isn't strictly necessary to use this to play, but it will be much more difficult without it.
Hope this helps people who aren't familiar with VNs.
I'm using Windows 7 32bit.
Core2Duo
2GB ram
1GB Vid card
30Gb Free space on HDD
Direct X11
is there a different way to install it in Win7 OS?
I've now completed all the end's except kurisu's end (but I got true-end).
The game crashes after Daru explains what SERN is
and I'm not sure why...
Is there a way to fix this?
Installed:
Steins;Gate
Steins;Gate Cosplay Patch
Steins;Gate 1.10 Patch
Steins;Gate 1.20 Patch
Steins;Gate CG Patch
Steins;Gate English Patch
Steins;Gate Movie Patch
But I'm thinking why Steins Gate is in Eroge section but it doesn't seem to have sexual content....
stuff like that than in S;G...
Usually during Takumi's delusions(L)
just the movie and system message/menu patch...
But the game won't work for me.
When I double clik "STEINSGATE-patched.exe" nothing's happened.
How could I solve this problem ?
the game stops responding, and when I do 'save' it shows a message that game is saved, but it isn't. I'd be very grateful if someone would tell me how to surpass this problem.
this worlds hates me...
chaos;head works perfectly now but i am always under 64 bits...
why steins don't work ?
got all but when game starts, always a blackwindow with no error signalized... just dark...
And “Steins;Gate has stopped responding” window pops up after the CAUTION logo in the beginning.
*FES from chaos;head X3
Sarcastic Statement: Unfortunately, out of all the thousands of languages programmed into my vocabulary module, standard Earthling Japanese was not amongst them.
Statement: The TIPS screen of the menu still crashes when an attempt to open it. This would be much appreciated if a patch for this were to be found. I have already found all of HK's alternative routes for the squishy meatbags populating he lab, as well as the main one, and now am at 97% completion.
Hypocritical Escapism: It would be too much effort to need to translate these achievements myself, and find how how later, so if any news arrives please inform me as soon as possible. I shall now hide myself in the world of Skyrim until that time arrives.
Quote: "El Psy Congroo.", H 'Hououin' K 'Kyouma' -47
I'm dying of not beeing able to play the game pls help me :(
I haven't finished the game at all. Only on Chapter 4, so no spoilers please, but theoretically since this is a story that involves multiple world lines, couldn't all routes technically be canon in their own world line? Why does there have to be one "true" ending?
I just hate when games call an ending the "True" ending because I feel, what is the point of going through the other routes if they never really happened.
Again I know I am odd and am thinking too hard about it.
I just want someone to say "True End doesn't mean Canon End", and have proof to back it up. I know that is a tall order. *sigh*
And dont get me started on screwing up true end!
So i would like a solution what to do here if anyone knows :(
And another thing: Is it possible to have the "Tips" translated that appear on top of the screen?
But thanks for the reply <3
(3,5 MB) file ???
I have Win7 and the latest cccp but still nothing...
I have Win7 and the latest cccp but still nothing…

I've read so many, I'm getting a little tired of reading but on the other hand books are always better than movies... so? :D
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 !

Simply copy it to your game folder to replace the older file (make a backup just in case, although, I've tested it. You can also continue from your save, it doesn't crash).
In addition to this, you should also use the patched .exe in this .rar:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5sycu16nyah6rcf
With this, your game won't crash when you go into the Tips Menu (it might also fix that late game crash, but I haven't been able to confirm that one yet).
Finding the sgtools to perform this was annoying as shit because, surprise surprise, the links were all taken down. But alas, it's done.
Enjoy. Hopefully it fixes the late game crash problem, as well, for those unable to complete the True End.
I can read the Tips section now though.
One of my favourite visual novels next to G senjou no Mao, Fate/Stay & Ever 17.
There are rumors that they will release the "official" translation (game) on steam. If so i'd advice anyone to buy it to show there's a market in the west for visual novels.
If they notice that they get enough sales like this maybe we won't have to wait X years anymore for fantranslations and get more VN's translated into english. The only reason i "pirate" visual novels is because a. I do all y online transactions with paypal, and notable translation groups like mangagamer only accept credit card (which i don't use). b. Not understanding any japanese/can't buy and support the japanese version. c. The difficulty to obtain visuel novels "legally" & translated. If steam would open up to all ages visual novels (don't think they will ever release +18 visuel novels) i do think there would be a significant market for it.
Anyhows thanks admin for this fantranslated version, i hope we get more (and faster) translated visual novels in the future.
end rant/
Just a heads up for Steins;Gate 1.20 Update, both links lead to MF, no RS.
Thanks again for all the games.
Is that just how it is or did the CG patch not work right?
Also, the intro scene that plays when you idle on the game menu long enough doesn't seem to work, as I imagine it's supposed to be a cutscene and instead I just get a still image..
by the way,the English is much quicker than Chinese。
fyi,they also have a cosplay patch
Thank you for this awesome upload but i have one problem.
I installed game and it working good but when i want to save nothing happen, and when i want quicksave game just crash… I have win7, i run patch and game as administrator. I reinstalled game, doesnt help too.
Please help me, and sorry for my bad eanglish ^^’
???
then you need to run applocale > select the .exe > set to japanese :) hope it works for you
Please re-upload it.
Actually, a lot of animes are based of visual novel games - due to the format of those, screenplay/script is basically ready to animate, and game's popularity already introduces fans to upcoming project, resulting in higher potential revenue.
on a side note almost all computers can run visual novels, since they require little system resources,my fav higurashi requires 16 or 32 megs of vram to run
but why does it crash every time I click tips on the game menu?
Also thanks for the game.
How to fix that ?
Thanks.
You can do so by undoing the damage that your comment has made, and then deleting the comment that you've posted from erogedownload's databases...
If you do it correctly, you'll have moved into the Beta timeline, where the game works without any bugs.
El Psy Congroo
First thanks for the hard work
I have a problem the game run but when I click start a black screen appears and I can’t play.. I do something wrong? Or Any Solution?
pd. (sorry for my english)
thx for this admin!
Or did any one els using a mac use some other app that worked for this?
Thanks
I cannot seem to find it.
I'd appreciate your help greatly.
I've re-downloaded part3 and 6 but I still get the error message that the files have been corrupted. As the files did not have any recovery record I can't think of anyway to solve this issue. Can anyone please help > <???
Help me! );
Nonetheless this was a good read, thank you for this and the walkthrough.
Now, I ran into a bit of a problem, I hope someone can help me fix it.
Near the end to chapter 2, I suddenly become unable to reply to emails. Whenever I view a mail and press any button, the game locks up and wont register any commands at all (except for escape).
Seeing as the story is directed through interactions on the phone, that becomes a bit of a problem fast.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I already tried redownloading, re-installing, download a different file through TPB, etc. I keep getting the same problem.
it could be somewhere between local,locallow,or roaming
Just wondering, the game is running normally, but whenever i hit the config, the game close automaticly if i trying to load it (after patching the english menu though)... why is that???
Thanx for this cool game, sir admin....
but too bad the MF file was already suspended
can someone be so kind and reupload this?
thx before
fix please
I can't download all of it
ark ! ! T^T
please fix it
May you please reup them again?
All of the links are down. D:
Could you please re-upload them, whenever you possibly can?
you shuld know that packs come with haali media splitter the problem resides there when you run the game you might notice in the ican section (where the internet, volume controls are)there is a icon for haali media splitter, what i did was eliminate k lite codec pack and now i can play also after that i culd see more animations in the game.
like the satellite in the begining moving stc.... try it out :P!
I don't see any tags here
sorry...
Part 8 is broken .. Why oh why did I start this only to be disapppointed in the end ??
Frustrated because I downloaded the game and completed it up to the point where Kurisu is about to turn around at the end, and the game crashes at that exact moment. I feel that I am being unfairly trolled by fate.
I start the game, select new game, watch opening video, read through the first scene with Okabe and Mayuri, right up to the point where Okabe leaves the lecture room saying he's running up to the roof while ignoring the no entry signs (this is after the loud bang on the roof). The message displays with a black background, and then after clicking once, the screen goes completely black, with the background music still playing, and that's it. Nothing after that, the game just keeps running with the music and black screen until I shut it down with control alt del, as the conventional methods and game controls/menu ingame are totally unresponsive.
I'm running the game in Japanese Locale and as admin, windows 7 64bit (also tried XP SP3 and Vista SP2 compat modes). I have installed the sdrt4280j), and I'm using the latest patched version you've provided. I used a previous version before with the same results, and - of course - had deleted every trace of the previous one Before running this, including deleting the appdata files for nitro+). I have Shark007 codes installed and have just updated them (tried before updating as well).
Can anyone Please help me? I know I'm missing something?
Admin, you are the best!
By the way, will you upload Sumaga and Dra+Koi when those game released? I would love to play them!
As much as it pains me, I'm going to wait for the final patch. : (
I reinstalled everything and the same problem happened.... I'm not sure why it suddenly stopped working.
However, it has to be said that there are some grammatical errors here and there.
thanks for reply.
The other link with 514 Mb is the same CG patch (system messages/ menu) that is also available as DA-free.
After so long I found this brilliant site again.
Keep it up :D
can anyone help?
please help me
is it because of the organization?
need backups
~El Psy Congroo
one question i have like someone else asked before
why is the Steins;Gate English movies subtitles patch bigger in DA 1-click than in DA-free?
Im wondering the same questions,seems like not all the movies will be translated if you only pick the free one?
130mb vs 500mb
do you get all the beginnings,endings,... translated in english with the 130mb pack?
Game menu shows, but pressing the "start" button does nothing:
- make sure to change locale to Japanese. (see Installation page)
If you can't save your game:
your windows username contains non latin characters - like "äáâà" - create a new account, or activate the guest account and use this new account to play the game.
I solved this problem. :D (finally damn you japanese)
Only thing that really annoys me that I haven't seen anyone else mention is for me I can play for a few hours with no problems and then it just stop responding and I have to kill the process through the task manager or at wosrt do a hard reboot. If it weren't for the fact that I'm such a time travel theory nerd I'd give up on it lol
Admin please tell me..
This crash happen when Okabe meets Kurisu again..
I desperately needed it..
I'm using Windows 7(Ultimate)...
some other guy tried to post the solution but it made the bug worse.
ADMIN HELP!!!!
Wtf?
When I start the game I get an error message with the heading SdAch.exe -Unable To Locate Component and in the message it says qrtool.dll was not found.
Specifics. Win XP 32 bit. Language local already set from Chaos Head install. Had to Google how to do that in Windows XP. After attempting to to run install I made the mistake of selecting yes to the add desktop icon and not un-checking the box at the end. I then uninstalled and reinstalled according to the guide. I than ran the update install a second time to make sure. Finally I assume the game directory to copy the 2 language packs to is the program files folder C/ProgramFiles/Nitroplus/SteinsGate. If not let me know.
The final result was said error message. Hopefully my information was thorough and any help on a work around would be appreciated.
You could just delete it.
No need to uninstall it.^^'
VNDB says the complete english patch has not been released yet (TBA)
VNDB says the complete english patch isnt rleased and is TBA
1) When I install the game in the \Program Files\ directory I'm able to start the game; it runs for a few seconds, 'till the \warning\ (or something) message appears, and then the screen goes blacks and a pop-up appears saying that the game stopped working :(
2) When I install the game in a different directory (I chose \Documents\) I can't even start the game; when I try to run it, an error pop-up appears saying something about \libvorbis.dll\ :(
Any help?
(drag and drop)
PLEASE HELP
...is this really an eroge? l.l
thanks for all..thanks for this game..i was looking for this..really thank you..i installed al succesfully and the patch is good..GOOD LUCK..:)
anyone has solution for this?
I use Win XP and I’m having the same problem as some people who played the game’s Japanese Version 1.10.
My Game crashes just before Kurisu turns around in the true end, the part where Okabe and Kurisu run into each other.
I read at a site that the problem can be solved by downloading the save game for that part and replacing your save game with the downloaded save game while the game is running. But that site also said the save games have to be of the version I'm using. Unfortunately, they only had save games for the 1.10 version. That won't be compatible with my version. Can someone with my version of the game please advice me or point me to the correct save game? I’m desperate to finish the game…I don’t want to watch the ending somewhere else…I want to see it in the game…Please help!
I've changed the locale to japanese, my region settings to japan, using applocale.. but it still didn't work..
I'm using win 7 64-bit, intel 13, 6 GB memory.. o_o
anyone can help me??
Thanks
So is it worth it? Is it worth exposing my brain to continued stress to get it running? Even risking that it turns into a gel-brain? Well, I'm more or less lucky with most games, since I use XPpro SP3, have admin rights, and japanese symbols and locale and whatnot...
I loved the anime&movie so I really want to play this game, if it's worth the effort, that is. Some VN's turn out to be shit even if the anime is good, so I'm skeptical.
El Psy Congroo
As mentioned the patch file is the 1.10 version though (might cause trouble with the true ending).
Thanks alot for uploading admin!
totally love this game, color theme, Ambiente, atmosphere, time travle, geeky-pop-science, great story... also the protagonists voice is the same as yagami in death note right? :P
thanks alot, have fun playing!
game menue is jp, so :
ingame ....
F = Fullscreen
S = Save
L = Load
Esc = Quit
and download the movie subs, you are missing out otherwise..
I am still downloading everything, but perhaps you forgot to post the remaining links under \DA-free: English movies Download\?
Neither can I see the DA-1click webpage as it says \file not found\.
I'm not sure if I'll get a reply cause this thing was so long ago but I downloaded this without the patch.
I can't access the true ending despite following the correct methods.
Sooooo
Does the patch fix this?
