Meakashi Mod now breaks Steam veresion after Steam update

[PizzaPretzel]

I did the full install of the Ch 5 Meakashi mod after the Steam Update of Higurashi on April 1st. Since then, the Meakashi chapter opens to a black screen and no sound. I've tried deleting and redownloading the chapter to no success. I also attempted to download an earlier version of Meakashi CH5 and still running into the same issue. I'm not running to this issue with any of the other chapters as they all patch up successfully with the mods. I did notice that the ch5 patches are generating errors when I attempt to redownload them.

Can you post your output_log file (it's inside HigurashiEp05_Data in your game folder) and the installer log if you still have it? You can also get both in a zip if you open the installer, go to Meakashi and then look at the troubleshooting options.

Either way, can you please try extracting this file in your game folder (with the patch installed) and see if you get any different results?

Lastly, looks like there was a recent issue with CloudFlare that was cutting access to certain websites around the internet. Since our DNS is also powered by it, the errors you might have encountered can be related to it.

i tried placing the two extracted files you gave me in the ep05 data folder but i'm still running into the same issue. May try going back to the earliest steam version of ep5 and see if that works.

Looks like the issue is happening because you are using the old installer. We recently discontinued it for a better alternative.
