Yup, I can confirm the above graphical error. It’s not nearly enough to make things illegible, but it’s certainly noticeable. I’m also using an AMD card. Apart from that, I’ve seen a few spelling/typing mistakes here and there, but I didn’t bother to write down the details (though if they’re appreciated, let me know where I can send a report for these minor issues, I’ll keep an eye out for them).

Enjoying the story so far! My experience and familiarity with visual novels is limited, so at first I was disappointed with the lack of interactivity, but on the other hand, I wasn’t expecting so much story content. And I just had to get used to the game mechanics, wasn’t expecting the interactivity to be done solely through use of the phone. I’m currently on chapter 4.

edit:
I was also able to skip the movie, but I also had some saves available.

#13

I’ll double-check, but I think this is the case (you need to have a saved session later in the game).

This is a known issue affecting some ATI (AMD) graphics cards. We’re looking for a fix, but in the mean time running fullscreen helps mitigate the problem. You can also try forcing antialiasing in your graphics card software preferences for Steins;Gate - if this works for you we’d love to hear about it, we’re in the process of obtaining data points for the fix.

Our head of production monitors the ticket queue at http://support.jlist.com/ , so if you find yourself with a list of typographical errors from the game, submitting a ticket there would be quite helpful for a future potential patch release. If you choose to do so, thanks!

Okay i am in the installation JAST’s version Steins;Gate and I’m a bit concerned. Did JAST not bother to have the English release of Steins;Gate patched to 1.20. This is supposed to fix bugs in the original release. I have the original game as well and version 1.0 is known to crash in multiple places. The version update fixed these errors. How come JAST’s version is only version 1.0?

#16

P.S. Both JAST’s version and the Japanese version are paid and bought for.

#17

I’m assuming that is because they are regarded as separate versions. The new English version is simply set at 1.0, even if it already incorporates any previous patches of the Japanese version, but that’s my guess.

Got the Suzuha ending, now I’m heading for the other endings. My LE will arrive tommorrow I think!

#18

Minor game mechanics spoiler question, highlight to show :

[color=#FFFFFF]Is there a way to hide the cellphone hint icon that now appears at every possible cellphone message/call point after you finish any possible ending? It’ll come in handy… but right now it just lowers the illusion of having some control over when to attempt a cellphone action.
I haven’t found a way to turn it off in options, unless I’m overlooking something.[/color]

I hope the word is getting out about Steins;Gate… These forums don’t have a lot of activity…

#19

Seeing that it’s rated M, it offers Jast a unique opportunity to get word of the game out to places that most of the games they localize aren’t welcome. It could even get reviewed on some better known gaming sites. I haven’t been looking around so I don’t know if it’s happened or not. Regardless, the opportunity is there.

#20

These forums haven’t had a lot of activity in years. The MangaGamer forums are far more active.

Probably a combination of MangaGamer staff being much more active on their forum, and MangaGamer releasing a lot more games in general, so there’s more to talk about.

#21

According to Facebook the initial limited edition print run was for 6000 copies. As of the 10th they had less then 400 remaining.
I think it’s safe to say the word is getting out. By next week they may even be sold out.

#22

Yes which is exciting. I’m glad I bought the game from JAST. I was looking to see if nitroplus’s cosplay patch from their website would work with the JAST version of the disk going to add the cosplay patch anytime soon and I came across something upsetting which I think JAST needs to take action on. A site called fuwanovel is spreading illegal copies of all of jast’s games including Jast’s release of steins;gate. Someone please tell the ISP provider for that site to take ban the page. This is an insult.

#23

So why does Mr. Braun’s shirt say “Jack Hummer” on the right sleeve? (His left). I also noticed a very nice closeup of a “Dr. People” bottle.

Some of the images are very well done, some of them have what looks to be machine-translated English, and some are a mix. Did you guys retouch any of the images?

#24

So I just finished chapter 7. Dammit, now I want to play Chaos:Head. And Robotics:Notes.

Anybody seen the anime of either of those two? I’ve seen bits and pieces of parts of Steins;Gate (it was showing at an anime club I went to for awhile) so I know that series is good. But I never heard good stuff about Chaos:Head, and I also hear Robotics:Notes is sort of hit-and-miss.

#25

I’ve seen the anime for Chaos;Head. It was okay but it didn’t feel like a masterpiece. It had some interesting plot twists, but the development and ending didn’t feel very strong. May be part of the reason I didn’t watch the anime of the other 2. I would like to play the Visual Novel for Chaos;Head though, to see the full story. Especially after playing Steins;Gate and seeing how good this series really is.

#26

Yeah, the Chaos;Head VN is much better than the anime. It wasn’t a good idea to adapt it in the first place, cause much of the atmosphere is near impossible to translate into a non-interactive medium, and the way the anime eventually went off-script didn’t help either.

#27

I can see Steins;Gate making the conversion to anime a lot more easily.

So the only endings I haven’t got yet are Mayuri’s end and the True end. I managed to unlock Chris, Suzuha, Lukako, and Faris’ endings on my first try, but I think I missed Mayuri’s. (They didn’t seem too hard, just save whenever you have the opportunity to choose your response and avoid the responses where Okabe acts like an asshole.)

I’m not sure which is more messed up, Lukako’s ending, or Suzuha’s.

#28

steins gate 2 is a novel and takes place 6 years after the game http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 … ame/.75771

#29

Just finished getting the last two endings. The true ending is as ridiculous as I was expecting (it was awesome).

I see the “best version” (or something) just got released; I guess that means they finally ran out of limited editions? Any chance of working with MangaGamer or Sekai Project to get Steins;Gate on Steam? I think it’d do well on Steam; hopefully well enough to get the other games translated.

#30

PS3 and Vita versions announced for English release: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/12/16/st … a-english/

It’s not quite as good as Steam, but this is still great news.

Hi, JAST USA has moved to a new forum system, which much much more modern and easy to use. We’ll eventually close these old forums after some months. I’ve started a new thread at the new forums, at

Thanks, and hope to continue the discussion over there!
