Steins;Gate

The story of Steins;Gate takes place in Akihabara and is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past. As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down and now the characters have to find a way to avoid being captured by them.

the game crashes at chapter at the SERN folder explanation.

hilwanz26 Sep 2011Reply

Use the latest english patch from the link above.
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

still no good, i already usin the latest patch

I tried to start this but got a missing dll message. I got the dlls now (libvorbisfile.dll and libvorbis.dll) but a new message is saying "The procedure entry point vorbis_window could not be located in the dynamic link library libvorbis.dll."

Can anyone help me with this?

Wildsleven26 Sep 2011Reply

silly question but where do the saved games get saved to in the computer? :P

admin26 Sep 2011Reply

Read older comments - someone posted location of saves.

Wildsleven26 Sep 2011Reply

Thanks admin, wont happen again, always wise to check all comments before asking :)

admin26 Sep 2011Reply

Some posts have up to 2000 comments so it can be hard to read them all.
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...

Bob26 Sep 2011Reply

Yes, that's a good idea. Imo you are a active admin, but some questions just repeat themself's at each game. Also it's good idea archiving metods that worked for people.

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.

admin27 Sep 2011Reply

I'm going with the second route you mentioned. Every "download" post will have it's own separate "install/troubleshoot" post where i post installation instructions step-by-step with screenshots added. Then i'll skim thru comments and post solutions for most common problems.
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...

Got this from another website and altered it a bit. This is a guide to get the Kurisu and True End Route of Steins;Gate.
CHAPTER 2
>MAIL: Mayuri|;_;|Spending Money
>MAIL: Faris|Original Sin Level Rising to 180%|2000
>MAIL: Rukako|I made sweets|Family
You will get 3 mails while you talk to Kurisu at the Radio Station.
DO NOT LOOK AT IT UNLESS YOU ARE FORCED TO BY THE GAME. NO TRUE ENDING OTHERWISE.
You will know if you did it right if Kurisu comments on your good manners.
>PHONE CALL Mayuri,Pick UP
>MAIL: RUKAKO| About my family members | Onee-chan
>PHONE CALL Unkown Number, its Christina. Pick UP
NOTE!! Any other calls/mails you get while you are talking/around Kurisu, DO NOT ANSWER/READ THEM UNLESS FORCED BY THE GAME!!

CHAPTER 3
(Again, from now on do not open/reply to calls/mails other than the ones from Christina or the ones here listed!)
>MAIL: FARIS|PHANTASM is the cat's meow|PHANTASM

CHAPTER 4
>MAIL: Assistant|Did you write it?|scientist
>MAIL: Assistant|Scientist??|bad scientist
>MAIL: Assistant|Bad Scientist|corny grampa joke
>MAIL: Faris|Sign of increasing misfortune| he
Info: You'll know you're on the Kurisu route if you get a scene with Kurisu crying after she makes a call to someone.
>Mail: Faris|About abilities|Chinchilla Star
>Mail: Assistant|Home alone|outsider
>Mail: Assistant|Ehhh?|disgrace
>You call Assistant (happened automatically for me)
8/7
>Mail: Assistant|Staring at my hand|why am I still here?
>Read mail from Assistant|Being here
>Mail: Faris|Re:Re: Ep 8|Ep8
(I got this mail while I talked with Christina, I replied after she was not in the screen, just to be careful for true end)
Info: You will know if you're still on the Kurisu route if while shopping for Suzuha, Kurisu tells Okabe you're an important comrade.

CHAPTER 5
Info: You will know if you're still on the Kurisu route if you hear her out about her dad.
8/11
>Mail: Assistant | Plans| Traveling expenses
>Read Mail: Assistant | Idiot
>Read Second Mail: Assistant

CHAPTER 6
No important mails in this chapter, Don't call anyone after getting angry at Suzuha about giving up.
>"Then I just need to send the mail" |Open your phone|Send
Info: You will know if you're still on the Kurisu route if you continue getting mails from Kurisu

CHAPTER 7
8/14
>Mail: Assistant | The key| I don't have a key
!!Save when you get the Email!!
>Mail: Assistant | The key |Frog
>Read Mail: Assistant | Gero froggy
!!Get the wallpaper and then Load when you read the Email!!
>Mail: Assistant | The key |Security
8/13
>Mail: Assistant | I get it, it's a delusion | Reality
>Read Mail: Assistant |Reality
>"Sorry, I'lied" |Open your phone|Send

CHAPTER 8
8/13
>Mail: Assistant |Explain Yourself!| what was that.
>Read Mail: Assistant |Unpopular girl
>"Will you remember me?" |Open your phone|Call microwave.
INFO:Mail will only come if you have the other endings!

CHAPTER 9
8/11
>Mail: Assistant| Contact me, idiot! |anxious.
8/12
>Read Mail: Assistant| Re: Re: Contact me,idiot!
>"I take one last look at Moekas lying body" |Open your phone| Send
INFO:Mail will only come if you have the other endings!

CHAPTER 10: Paradoxical Meltdown: Kurisu Route
8/15
>Mail: Assistant| Where are you now? | were you are.
INFO:Mail will only come if you have the other endings!

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.

you guys... try work your asses off.. stop relying on walkthrough and such (lmao) (>__<)

bk20130 Sep 2011Reply

will do, uhh.. mr.game genius or something.. walkthroughs are written to help people who got stuck in game. not all people can get a true ending on a game easily without getting stuck as they are not as talented and a genius as you are, why don't you just write a walkthrough or something instead looking down on people who use one?

Bob27 Sep 2011Reply

Admin, that's a good idea.
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.

White Heiven28 Sep 2011Reply

Where can i get the 1.2 patch update. Its not here?

CeroleoN28 Sep 2011Reply

a little question about the true route walkthrough posted by Phantom here do i need to complete the game once or complete some other route to get it???

Phantom29 Sep 2011Reply

I heard that you need to complete the other endings to get certain mails in the last few chapters that you need for the True End. However I have heard that some people got them anyway. Three Ends are easy to get, as all you have to do is not send the D-mails in Chapter 6, 7, and 8 to get them and I had these 3 and the Mayuri End when I went for the True End. If you follow the guide, it will set you up for the Kurisu route. So you will have to beat it twice for both the Kurisu or Mayuri End. In short though, you don't need to beat the game twice to get the True End as I got it before the Kurisu End.

Kyrios05 Oct 2011Reply

What do u do to get the ending in chapter 9? Cuz ther should be 4 more endings besides Mayuri, kurisu and true ending. Correct me if i'm wrong. Also, how do u get the Mayuri ending o-o? ty

Phantom05 Oct 2011Reply

There is no ending in Chapter 9, but I would recommend at least viewing what happens as I don't want to spoil it if you don't send the D-Mail at the end. The way I described this game to a friend was that after Chapter 5 the game makes you it's bitch and constantly keeps its' hand strong until the end XP.
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.

Chaos12 Oct 2011Reply

Thiiiis might sound stupid but how do you get the Faris ending,,,aka,,,get to chapter 7 XD. I litterly replied only to Fari's mails and the mails the game forces you to and still got Szuha's ending. I WAANA GO TO CHAPTER 7 AND BEYOND >_< =3

dreambot13 Oct 2011Reply

Hey, Phantom thanks for your true end guide, I skipped and followed it with the sucess up till the end of chapter 5 (got all the kurisu triggers) but I was forced to get the Suzu end on chapter 6..again! It's possible I skipped through and messed something up at the end of chap 5 or early chap 6? Do you have any advice? Thanks

dreambot14 Oct 2011Reply

Ignore previous post: got it sorted out now thanks.

EasilyConfused30 Sep 2011Reply

I currently am stuck at the part in Chap1 when he's scrolling through the John Titor message boards. It gets to the bottom of the "page" right after he posts saying "You just copied this from the book. not just Titor, but anyone could do that" and such, but after reading that statement it never scrolls further even when I click and saving right before hand and replaying seems to do nothing, anyone got a clue what's up with this?

vn shourai net/news/weve-reached-the-achievement-point-but-theres-a-flaw.html#comments

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.

Bob30 Sep 2011Reply

Great the game crashes at the end, last chapter at:
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.

Damnit...it crashes at the explanation of SERN part.

You're still using old version of the patch.

Neah03 Oct 2011Reply

I tried downloading .dll's. I tried regsvr32, which wasn't successful, something about the dll's 'may not be compatible'. I went up and down the comments with no solution. I get issues the procedure entry point with vorbis_window in libvorbis.dll

Anyone know anything?

Haych03 Oct 2011Reply

I'm having a problem installing the game.

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?

Haych04 Oct 2011Reply

Don't worry, I've figured out how to do it. For all those encountering this problem, the application in the crack isn't the setup. You have to use a drive emulation program - I used Daemon Tools Lite - to mount the .mdf file because this is the setup. I then followed the steps above and successfully installed it.

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.

Rintaro03 Oct 2011Reply

Yeah what Bob Said

The game always crashed at the final scene when
"Slowly, she finally turns her head towards me–"

I have the offical game. Steins;Gate Nitro The Best Vol.5 it already says version 1.20 on the disk so i just applied the english patch and nothing worked. The game wouldn't even start. It just didn't do anything. HELP!

Kurisu-chan04 Oct 2011Reply

Hello there.
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~

Map04 Oct 2011Reply

Can somebody please put up their saves which I can use to watch chapter 10 which leads to the true ending in version 1.20 english?

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
