I think we don't ship a globalgamemanagers file with the patch, so I'm unsure how that could happen.

Did you get it from the Answer Arcs bundle or as a single purchase? Can you try using this UI in your game and see if it fixes anything?

drojf · 2020-11-06T00:31:30Z

Arrgh, the installer says:

Unity Version: Read [5.6.7f1] from [/home/[USERNAME]/Games/HigurashiEp08retry/HigurashiEp08_Data/resources.assets]

but then later it installs: https://07th-mod.com/ui.php?chapter=matsuribayashi&os=unix&unity=2017.2.5

I'll have to check what's going on there, that's wrong

drojf · 2020-11-06T00:37:31Z

I think this line was wrong in the installData.json:

{"name": "ui", "id": "ui-linux-old", "os": ["linux"], "unity": "5.6.7f1", "url":"https://07th-mod.com/ui.php?chapter=matsuribayashi&os=unix&unity=2017.2.5"}, (link)

I'm guessing it should be the link you just posted, https://07th-mod.com/ui.php?chapter=matsuribayashi&os=unix&unity=5.6.7f1?

ItaloKnox · 2020-11-06T00:38:28Z

I don't think that's wrong, we have compatibility packs that were only for GOG that was stuck on the previous version. It should install the compatibility pack and then get the UI for the newest version.

It's a bit confusing to explain, @ooa113y might be the best person to know if it's wrong or not.

andOlga · 2020-11-06T00:40:08Z

Yeah, this is correct. We basically supply the same UI as for the main game, and then the compatibility pack more or less contains a copy of the entire Steam game (except for assets) that is used to "upgrade" the outdated GOG version to the new version of Unity.

drojf · 2020-11-06T00:45:54Z

I think we don't ship a globalgamemanagers file with the patch, so I'm unsure how that could happen.

There is a globalgamemanagers file in the comparability pack: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/matsuri-system/Matsuribayashi-System_unix.7z

~~The log first says player data archive not found at (home path)~~ at the data.unity3d file (not sure if this always happens)

Then it says "using local filesystem", which then loads the globalgamemanagers which came with the compatability pack from the game folder.

However it says it expects 5.6.7f1, and the one with the compatability pack is 2017.2.5f1 - I would have expected it to expect 2017.2.5f1....so I'm not really sure what it is

ItaloKnox · 2020-11-06T00:49:52Z

Yeah, I just checked the packs and the file is there. Which is even weirder because the compatibility packs had a 100% success rate until now. Maybe the OP can try a manual installation, so we can rule out the possibility of the installer doing things in the wrong order?

iguanatamer · 2020-11-06T02:00:39Z

I just bought it as a single purchase. I redownloaded it from managagamer and reinstalled the mod and now I get an error like this.

drojf · 2020-11-06T03:00:21Z

Just a sanity check - the unmodded game works fine yea?

iguanatamer · 2020-11-06T03:09:32Z

Yes, the game plays fine.

drojf · 2020-11-06T07:04:37Z

I just installed ep8 from Mangagamer on Ubuntu and I'm getting a similar crash after patching the game on a fresh install - @afromanDAN don't worry about trying things out until we at least get it working on our end.

iguanatamer · 2020-11-06T08:20:46Z

Ah so I'm not crazy then lol.

jra419 · 2020-11-12T01:36:07Z

I'm also having the same issue with the mono SIGABRT crash on Mint 20. The unpatched game runs fine. I tried to update the mono packages but the crash persisted.

drojf · 2020-11-12T10:26:25Z

So I got my own install working, but I'm not sure if the sharedassets0.assets versions you guys have are the same as mine.

I'm also not sure if our installs are the same - it's best that you re-download the game from Mangagamer to make sure we have the same versions of Matsuribayashi.

Could you guys do the following:

Re-download Matsuribayashi from Mangagamer (or GOG). Don't install the mod yet!
- @Shinkirou please tell me which store you bought the game from - Mangagamer or GOG
Check if your unmodded Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.8 Matsuribayashi/HigurashiEp08_Data/sharedassets0.assets is identical to my stock one listed below (use cmp <yoursharedassets> <mysharedassets> or diff or compare checksums)
If they are identical:
- install the mod
- once the mod is installed, copy over the sharedassets0.assets file with the modified one in the download link below (the >100mb one)
If they are not identical, upload your stock sharedassets0.assets so I have a copy of it/can modify it. In the upload, please note the store you downloaded the game from, and the date.

My Stock/unmodded Mangagamer sharedassets0.assets (2020-11-12) SHA256: A200EC2A85349BC03B59C8E2F106B99ED0CBAAA25FC50928BB8BA2E2AA90FCE9

Mangagamer sharedassets0.assets after modification (to be used with the mod) SHA256:
0FD3E6A38FE250B2E736B101BC3F64A723D6FC29A68BA55C9451D4621326E1F7

OneDrive Download link for these two files: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar-lAVeetlqhgsZuO26dC2dz5he_7A?e=7pNa5L (if it asks you to sign in, just use a private/incognito window)

I think we have previously assumed that sharedassets0.assets with the same unity version and the same operating system are "the same", but it appears that the steam and mangagamer versions of the file are different, despite both having the same unity version and operating system.

jra419 · 2020-11-12T14:15:24Z

It worked after changing the modded sharedassets file.

I'm running the Mangagamer store version. The original sharedassets file was identical to the one you sent. After installing the mod and replacing the modded shareassets, the game was able to run without any issues.

Thanks for the quick help!

iguanatamer · 2020-11-13T02:10:13Z

My stock mangagamer sharedassets0.assets has the same SHA256. As with Shinkirou above your modified version fixed my game also.

iguanatamer · 2020-11-18T03:07:36Z

well I finished the whole game with out any issues with your new patch.

drojf · 2020-11-18T05:56:53Z

Thanks for reporting back afroman, at least I know this doesn't break anything.

Before I can put the new file in the installer, I need to update the installer so it can use the correct file automatically (the above issue 07th-mod/python-patcher#128), but hopefully that will fix it for new users.

- See 07th-mod/matsuribayashi#32

- Need UI backup so on future installs can determine which modded ui file to use - Make sure when performing backup with forcedExtract option, it backs-up to the forceExtract directory, rather than the game directory - See 07th-mod/matsuribayashi#32

- See 07th-mod/matsuribayashi#32

- See 07th-mod/matsuribayashi#32 (comment)

drojf · 2021-01-24T00:30:08Z

We haven't had any reports of this issue after I applied the fix to the installer, so I think this issue can be closed now.

ghost · 2021-08-18T14:09:35Z

Tried to start up game (GoG version), but for some reason start.sh did not do anything, so had to start it on terminal, got following error:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/76k52222qY/

This line seem to be fault:
File: "/home/tommi/GOG Games/Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch 8 Matsuribayashi/game/HigurashiEp08_Data/globalgamemanagers". Expected version: 5.6.7f1. Actual version: 2017.2.5f1.

So what to do now?

drojf · 2021-08-18T15:35:21Z

Hi, please answer the following questions:

When did you download your copy of the game from GOG? Are you using an old version of the installer you downloaded a long time ago, or did you download it from GOG just recently (or use GOG galaxy to install?)
Did you install the mod manually or using the installer?
Can you please send the install log (if you installed using the installer)? It should be in your browser downloads as a .zip file.

If you installed manually, make sure you installed the compatibility pack for GOG Linux at the bottom of this page (since you have the Linux GOG release): https://07th-mod.com/wiki/Higurashi/Manual-Installation/

That is, if you installed manually, you need these files:

Compatibility pack: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/matsuri-system/Matsuribayashi-System_unix.7z
UI file: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/ui/Matsuribayashi-UI_2017.2.5_unix_gog_mg.7z
- ONLY IF above UI file didn't work, try this UI file: https://07th-mod.com/ui.php?chapter=matsuribayashi&os=unix&unity=2017.2.5

ghost · 2021-08-18T15:47:17Z

@drojf

Downloaded game today (around hour ago) from GoG (not using Galaxy, linux direct download) 07th mod installer v1.1.89 (latest for now)
Installer
07th-mod-logs.zip

There was earlier posts about SHA256 on their sharedassets0.assets files, mine (stock, unmodified GoG) is:
a1f7b39665d63d704bc14275dcdf71cf4cca9532ac61bee23b5b18b62a5cd3af doesn't match up to above ones on earlier post.

Link for my file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3oivssfzvdkl6nm/sharedassets0.assets/file

drojf · 2021-08-18T16:09:26Z

@runboy93 did you do anything between your first install attempt and your second install attempt?

I can see that on your first install attempt, it detected that your sharedassets0.assets file was unknown, so it stopped the install. But it seems to have gone away on your second attemptd. Did you manually replace that file?

drojf · 2021-08-18T16:10:32Z

actually, the first install log in that zip file is probably not your first install, because you already have a sharedassets0.assets.backup file there, which means the installer ran at least once before.

ghost · 2021-08-18T16:11:18Z

So problem is with my assets file or what?

drojf · 2021-08-18T17:10:18Z

@runboy93 I did some testing and can reproduce the problem on my end too.

I think the installer is not applying the compatibility pack correctly.

Can you try to manually copy the contents of this archive into the Higurashi When They Cry Hou Ch 8 Matsuribayashi/game folder: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/matsuri-system/Matsuribayashi-System_unix.7z

It should overwrite the HigurashiEp08_Data folder, and the game executables when you copy it.

ghost · 2021-08-18T17:16:01Z

Thanks it does start up normally now!

drojf · 2021-08-18T17:32:51Z

Ah good to know.

For the developers, I've raised this issue on the installer repo: 07th-mod/python-patcher#162

This issue can be closed once it's verified that the installer can install to the GOG version of the game successfully (once the installer is fixed).
