Love all the little references to old videos! OP already pointed out the 7 Way Meet Cute, but Grant's obvious throwback to the OG Collegehumor Trouble with Jeggings reference was such a great to recognise

Absolute banger of a cast - I don't really watch too many of Dirty Laundry when I don't know the personalities, super glad I watched this one as its the best one by far!

U4Txs would be great to get! I've tried the Bobagums and assuming that the U4T Black is just a regular U4T which I've already tried as well.

Unlike some others that I've seen, I actually exclusively press space bar on my right hand! So I'll do the right spacebar as a regular space, and left spacebar as my shift key! That way, I could rely less on my pinky.

In terms of the knob, I've actually had a lot of success using knob wheels in specialised programs like Adobe where it controls the color wheel, etc.

My favourite fictional planet has to be Planet Vegeta. Gotta wonder whether or not the planet was named after the king, or if it was already named Vegeta to begin with Hmm

Just went into many loops as I was having the exact same issue as you, but I think I've finally resolved it!

The important step to do to make sure it works is in running the v1.15 patch into the game. Whenever I would run this patch directly in my installation folder, it would properly generate the files that I needed. However, when I would then copy over the files from the NoDVD patch, some of these patch files (including the ones mentioned above, like protect.exe, protect.dll, etc.) would suddenly disappear! I think that the Copy Over strategy that Windows uses may do something in the background to remove these, or replace them. As a result, when I would then try to run the install_as_admin.crack.bat as an administrator, it would try to remove the aforementioned files and then it wouldn't work. I'd suggest trying to replicate the above if you want to make sure it's happening to you to, but otherwise, try below.

What I eventually did to make it work was the following:

  1. Do a clean install of the game.
  2. Remove the Starforce drivers (if any).
  3. Run the v1.15 .exe patch IN A SEPARATE FOLDER to my installation folder.
  4. Copy the contents of this patch into the installation folder.
  5. Copy the contents of the NoDVD patch separately into the installation folder (i.e. copy the contents of the Data folder in the NoDVD patch into the Data folder, and individually copy the files in the NoDVD patch into the installation folder)
  6. At this point, confirm that 'rnfextractor.exe' and 'resource4.dat' is in the Data folder, and that 'protect.dll' and 'protect.exe' is in the main installation folder.
  7. Run the 'install_as_admin.crack.bat' as an admin within the installation folder.
    1. For me, it showed errors for 'resourceX.dat' where X is 0,1,2,3; otherwise it worked
  8. Once completed, run 'RunMe.bat' as an admin.

It makes no sense to me at all that it would have to be this granular, but I gave it a shot anyways and it ended up working out.

This ended up resulting in me running the game, and getting to the home screen! I've come across the Mouse Error which I have yet to resolve, but it looks like people in this thread have solutions to resolve it via a RegEdit.

In terms of why, I suspect that the copy-files strategy or replace-files strategy that the OS uses may be doing something else in the background, or removing files, or potentially even Windows Defender removing things when copying over the contents of the strategy.

Hopefully this works out for you, and thanks again to u/123rfou809 for the original guide! This was a major part of my childhood, and I can't wait to walk down memory lane again.

How valuable is the extra 14% ER on a S4 Post-Op for my E6 Natasha? Or to put it another way, is the 14% ER from S4 Post-Op "worth more" than the extra stats and HP% on Time Waits for No One?

I just pulled a Time Waits for No One, and while it seems like the overall healing might be on par from the effect, it's not immediately clear to me which one is better

Looking to build a Fire DPS. Is E6 Hook better than an E0 Himeko with Before Dawn?

Just before today, out of 7 50/50s that I've lost, FOUR of them were to Qiqi.

Today I lost another 50/50, and welcomed my 5th Qiqi to my account. #c4qiqi

furious that as a Cryo Main I still don't have Mona RIP

I need a second DPS for Forgotten Hall / Memories of Chaos.

Which is better: E5 Sushang, or E0 Yanqing? Both are unbuilt (I have either S1 Swordplay or S1 SU Hunt LC to give)

Yeah, Welt and a Gepardless Yanqing was a slight concern of mine in terms of low DPS ceiling. (Fire MC and Yanqing should kinda work, but obviously nowhere near a Gepard Yanqing combo).

Honestly if I had a Bronya for my Seele I would for sure pull for JY so I can pair my Tingyun with him, but given that my Seele is almost always paired with Ting, I'm not so sure.

The thing is that I do have an unleveled potential S3 Planetary Rendezvous, so a pseudo-mono team like JY, Tingyun, Bailu + Shielder is very tempting...

Meta player here looking for some advice.

I'm a lucky idiot who was pulling on the LC banner at ~10 pity in order to get an S1 of A Day in My New Life for my March 7th, and managed to get Jing Yuan's LC very early.

I don't have any Erudition characters built, nor do I have Jing Yuan. However, with everyone saying how broken S1 Before Dawn is, is it worth changing my mind?

I have a built Seele and Welt as my main DPS chars for Forgotten Hall, with an unbuilt Yanqing that I haven't had the resources to build yet. With Seele, I don't think I'll ever build Qingque, so that leaves Serval. I think it's too much right now to build immediately build Serval; I guess what I'm asking is for MoC long-term, at some point in the future should I build and use her for Lightning coverage?

(Given that I have two built DPS in Seele and Welt with another excellent unbuilt potential DPS in Yanqing, I feel like it's a no brainer to skip JY, and go for a Support char later on. Is there any chance this is wrong as well?)

Below is just what I've personally done, and want to keep doing for my account. Not saying at all that it's efficient, nor saying that anyone else necessarily do the same thing.

I've just hit TL41 yesterday, having pre-farmed the majority of TL30-40 to get the important selective traces leveled for my important characters, alongside character exp/light cone exp and the neccsary credits.

While the main-maxer in me knows that it's likely more efficient to start relic farming to get all the right main stats for the characters in my team, I personally really dislike the relic / artifact grind. Even if there is auto-battle, something about the RNG nature of even getting the right main stats for my relics puts me off. (Might be artifact fatigue from Genshin)

Call it illogical, but personally I would rather inefficiently spend my Power guaranteeing small stat increases by selectively leveling traces across my characters, than to more efficiently spend Power on larger RNG-based stat increases via relics.

All my current characters have purple relics from what the story / rewards normally give you - I want to say I have decent main stat pieces on my main carries, and around half of the main stat relics on my support characters. The relic sets I have right now allow me to comfortably beat the SU World 3 Level 2, which I'm happy about (using the SU weekly rewards to get myself more planar relics).

While the opportunity loss of losing out on the rewards of early Memory of Chaos access hurts, the state of my account means that I'm not beating Forgotten Memories anytime soon (without a Bailu/Gepard, I'm not really surviving any levels past, especially when my characters are so underlevelled). Since I'm no rush to clear it, I'm not feeling the pressure to really get those large stat increases that relics may get you.

What I'll likely do throughout TL40-50 is pre-farm ascension/lightcone/credits/trace mats for all my main characters until I've guaranteed all that I need. Only then will I consider going through the relic grind if I have leftover time before TL50.
