Since I was suspicious of the source, I had checked the torrent files both using my own scanner and using virustotal.com, but the result was negative. Therefore I am pretty sure the original upload of the restoration patch was free of known malware.


Btw. I think it's bad praxis to add directory exclusions too lightly... if ever a male-ware actually compromises a file within such a directory, the warning will be suppressed... I wonder why no anti-virus program I know of allows to whitelist by exact name and some hash, because all you should want is to white-list this exact file.

#1395

I can tell you that adding the install directory to my list of exclusions was the only way I could find to keep my security software from repeatedly deleting files during installation and game execution. I've had to do the same with my text hookers.


I'm not entirely sure, but if an infection did occur in an excluded directory it should remain contained within the directory and/or RAM.

#1396

Can someone help me out with the restore patch. I get the prompt that says enjoy your game but before that it keeps telling me that the xdelta files have too many filenames. The scenes are also still blacked out. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem?

#1397

Screenshot the error.

#1398

Sorry for the late reply, my laptop was acting a bit funny so I ended just taking a picture of the problem. Here it is

#1399

I see Program Files in the filename. That's one potential issue. Uninstall the game completely and follow my installation guide.

JAST's 1.01e Bugfix Patch link is down, so I uploaded a mirror. The updated link can be found in my blog post. I also provided the VirusTotal results in the latest comment, for those who are concerned.

#1401

This is why unofficial patches (or even official ones) are not a satisfactory solution for some users.


"I'm sorry if it's very rude of me, but could you please upload [the bugfix and restoration patches] elsewhere (for example solidfiles.com or kumpulbagi,com or maybe another file hosting sites)? Because i personally having difficulties downloading from Mega and somehow my ISP blocking the p2p transmission. Thanks"

Doing free technical support for JAST is ending up to be a lot of work, as evidenced by the hundred comments on that post. I'm tempted to throw up my hands and tell this guy to go pirate the game.

#1402

The file was tagged as dangerous by google giving people the red screen of "don't go there" because that patch was unsigned. We've taken it down for the time being (If you own the download version of the game you should be able to find it in your download list). We'll updating it with a signed version soon.


@sanahtlig: Thanks for hosting a copy for the time being. Much appreciated.

#1403

wanted to say well done on teanslating this game, I have knly had it for three days but am enjoying it now that there is a restoration patch and you all have fixed most of the bugs, will be keeping my eye out for more updates in the future if there are any

#1404

Yeah, the restoration patch...

so, had my game back then since october, but waited for bug fixes and the restoration patch... and nearly forgot about the game ;)

So, finally installed it. First in a drive where I wanted it. With the guide from sanahtlih I was able the patch it and do the thing with the new cmd for restoration...

BUT! After playing a bit and then continuing the next day... I encounter sound issues! BGM is gone! And Voices are only there, if the option for it is on max level...

So, deinstalled it, then reinstalled on C:\\shinydays... played a bit before work, then now wanted to start it... same 'error': BGM gone and Voices only if on max volume... even if I am running shiny days as administrator... and doing it with compability mode...

Sooooooo, where am I doing something wrong??? Will deinstall it tomorrow and reinstall... without restoration. Looking, if this is causing trouble... but at the end, it sayed clearly in command bar "enjoy your game".

As for my pc, its win 7 x64 bit.

#1405

@÷nee sama …It’s just an Old bug; you just need to delete the file “Config.DAT” everytime it happens, then just re-launch the game.

@DannyhelMont

Okay, thx!

Will try it with this solution.

#1407

Two more things:

At the first installation of shiny days, after patching the restoration, it broke my "desktop data manager"... had to google it, then to do some repair over command bar... and afterwards to repatch my windows for win-7-themes. Just as a sidenote, if any other out there is using such themes.


Can anyone eventually write the names of the endings and which character it is related to on this flowchart???

I used a similiar flowchart fpr school days back then. Just with the ending names and the related chars in the endings. Had enough fun to figure out the needed choices and at the same time could see if I am on the right road to a specific ending. And yes, I've seen some walkthroughs are up for shiny days already, but as mentioned, just a flowchart with the ending names and chars but without the choices would be great!


Greetings

#1408

Put of curiosity does anyone know if youko has an ending with makoto that doesn’t involve him cheating on her in some way. I’ve tried many different options but every time makoto always goes after a different girl

#1409

Can someone tell me how to get the Rain of Carnage ending please? I’ve tried all these different ways but still can’t seem to get it

#1410

I started to finally get to play the game and from the offset there's a few things that irks me. One big factor is how Itaru calling Makoto is handled. Does JAST hate honorifics or something? Or maybe that translator that caused the massive delay on this game hates it? Whatever the reason reading Itaru calling his name and not Onii-chan is very strange especially in some scenes. Several other scenes with awkward reading that seem to got through QC (Quality Check). I think sanahtlig was talking about this in the previous thread pages and I agree on what he said.


There is also a missing line in the scene at the restaurant where Itaru and Makoto go to Radish the first time and Noan teases Makoto before getting Setsuna to seat and serve the two. I think it's in chapter 2. And the missing line is when they go to pay the bill with Setsuna behind the register in one of the choice scene there is a missing line before she gives Makoto the movie tickets. I want to ask a JAST staff will there be any other patches to fix these things? Not speaking about the honorific thing but the other stuff mentioned? But would be nice but doubtful to include honorifics cuz it makes no sense in a game where it is heavily used. Glad Mangagamer uses honorifics at least the last game I read, ImoPara, yes I read it for the plot (what little it had) and funny dialogue and situations.


Also this page https://connect.jastusa.com/support/solutions/articles/5000672651-shiny-days-1-01e-bugfix- still has no file so I am unsure if I need this fix or if it is the same one I got before


@Philip Baxton

I dunno what that scene is as I take my time reading and going through all the choices as I can in the game but do you got this site? http://www.otakulair.com/shiny-days-walkthrough-jast-usa/ I got that one down just in case I have trouble later on getting the endings.

The link was taken down because it was causing the entire JAST site to be flagged as malicious. If you need the patch, download from the mirror I provided in my guide.

#1412

@akihaThe Rain of Carnage is the ending in which Kotonoha kills Makoto and the other guy for what they were doing to Kokoro

#1413

For people having trouble to end some routes by following the official guide (I dont know if it’s due to the patches that modified them since the guide was made or something), follow this guide :

For example I couldnt end the “4 people in Paris” with the official guide and by following this one i achieved it without problem (even if the formating is kinda bad). Some answers are different between the two, that’s why.
