Touhou Troubleshooting (Mainline+Spinoff)

I have looked into that and while it sounds like it can work the problem out it would be a coin toss cause i never had to install anything like that the first time around and because even a fresh download does not work. I will post the error that I have a Exception C0000005 at 0x688FF94D (Rx4F94D) (\d3d8.dll) and The instruction at 0x688FF94D referenced memory at 0x00000014. The memory could not be read. along with alot of stuff in the code that aren't found ( which I don't know if thats normal or not ) with this I can hope this will give a clue as to what the problem is and tbh idk if a locale can be a fix to an error like that cause with what I had before and with past experience with the game I downloaded at the beginning of the year working before not working after not having played it for a long while and I'm not to sure what I can do beyond just trying and seeing if something works tho I rather not have to spend 2 to 3 hours trying before I'm left with a headache I do thank you for whatever guidence you give it does help even a little bit.
 
Update: I actually fixed the problem it took a two files put together which was a putting a d3dx8 and a dxvk in the touhou 6 folder to make it work so you don't need to worry about my issue I still do really thank you for making a troubleshooting thread as it's a source for asking if all else fails.
 
Hey uh so same story as the last one but it's touhou 7 however the game starts up but the graphics are glitched just like swordofbunkerhill had at page 6 of this thread again I'm at a wits end and I do not know what to do. ( Also I do wanna address I'm in the process of making sure the early games still work after hearing that if not played for a long while theses games get messed up and because of this I'm applying these solutions to hopefully safeguard them for future play. )

I believe DXVK or d3d8to9 "should" fix that graphics issue. Just in case, if you're applying DXVK, you should use the 32-bit version for Touhou 7. With DXVK, you'll need to include both the d3d8 and d3d9 DLL if I recall correctly.
 
i recently got a windows xp machine and installed IN off my original disc and installed japanese locals, but most of the graphics arent displaying at all
it shows the initial loading background with no loading wheel, and then the title screen with no selection text. i can navigate to start a game, but it just keeps showing the menu backgrounds.
i can hear the game running still, but it just gets stuck displaying the menu backgrounds. is this a directx issue or something else?
 
hello! I'm having this problem recently. Whenever i open th15 it's glitching like this, i haven't tried th11-14 and th16+ further but i didnt have this issue when i play th6-10. Any helps? Thanks!

Yo, that's bonkers. But I have some ideas.
Our downloads don't include vpatch by default for th11 and onwards, so I wonder if your issue is something vpatch would fix. Touhouwiki has a download for the patches here at the beginning of the column, at "Download." Copying the link myself, it links here. You could try applying it to see if it solves it. From the vpatch_th15 folder, you'll need to put vpatch.exe, vpatch.ini, and vpatch_th15.dll into your game folder (where the game executable should be). Then you could try running vpatch.exe directly. To make it work with thcrap, you'd need to go into the thcrap folder, config, games.js, and edit the first thing to vpatch.exe instead of something like th15.exe.

Another thing that I think might fix it is applying DXVK, or reinstalling DirectX. Putting the game in windowed mode might also work.
 
Hello, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I'm having serious issues with running the games.

The games all start up properly, but for some reason the game believes there is an up input, so the menu is constantly scrolling upwards, characters fly to the top of the screen, you get the idea.

I tried disabling drivers, pressing keys during start up, not pressing anything during start up, plugging a controller, plugging and unplugging a controller, the unpatched japanese version and even the Steam demos, but nothing worked and the issue persisted. The games I tested were Touhou 14, Touhou 17 and Touhou 6 more recently. I haven't been able to find a solution online, and the games worked properly about two years ago on this same device, so I don't know what the issue could be. Could someone please help me?

One of us thinks it sounds like you have some kind of controller connected.
For my own guesses: have you verified your up arrow key isn't stuck? If that's not the issue, I don't have many ideas to suggest, and I quite doubt they'd work. But you could try:
Running sfc /scannow in an admin cmd/powershell
Reinstalling DIrectX or applying DXVK to a game
Rebooting your PC (clarification: not just a shutdown and then a boot, but a "reboot," since Windows has the "fast startup" feature that prevents a full reboot when doing a normal shutdown).
Trying the key rebinding mod near the bottom of my guide, rebinding the forward key, and seeing if the issue persists.
Edit: If you have a mouse plugged in, you could also try removing it and seeing what happens. I don't remember what kind of issue it was, probably something else, but I've heard of a Touhou issue somehow being solved by one unplugging their mouse.

I don't have anything plugged in in any ports. Also, something I forgot to add: A friend shared a Mediafire link for me to download Touhou 6 New Classic, and that download also came with the original EoSD. But for some reason, both of them worked just fine, without any issues with inputs or keys. That's what made me download Touhou 6 from here, and that one had the issue with the scrolling up thing. It can't be an issue of this site because the Steam demo also had this issue, so I honestly don't know what it could be.

Nevertheless, I'll see if I can try that key rebinding mod thing and see how that goes. Thank you for your time and continued help

Not gonna be phrasing my words with the best eloquency here, but from the Shrine, have you had that issue with the normal Th6, the newer classic version, or NC? And not sure how relevant it is, but besides of the NC, was the older Touhou 6 from the mediafire download the old one, or the newer, Classic version? (IIRC the older version has a versioning of 1.02 or below, and the classic is 1.03).
I'm thinking "maybe," the version from the Mediafire link might have come with dgVoodoo, d3d8to9, or DXVK pre-installed. You could check if there's a file something like "dgVoodoo", "d3d8.dll" or "d3d9.dll" or such there, probably where the game executable would be.

The Touhou 6 classic from the mediafire link is, indeed, version 1.03. I had this issue with the original Touhou 6 from the site, I didn't try downloading New Classic from here.

And don't forget this issue is also present in future games, like Touhou 14 and 17. This is coming from someone who is not tech savvy at all, but could it have anything to do with Windows 10 no longer being supported somehow? It's the only thing that I can possibly think could be related but obviously I dont know anything about this stuff.

I don't think it's related to Windows 10 no longer receiving security updates. EoSD was originally made back during the XP days, so running something so old on modern software (Windows 10, 11) can have issues sometimes. IIRC Touhou 14 and 17, despite being released not 'that' long ago, still use DirectX 9 (and are maybe even 32-bit programs?), which is also pretty old. Programs like DXVK and dgVoodoo2 modernize the game somewhat, which lessens the likelihood of running into such problems, and I was thinking that "perhaps," the issue was related to such a problem, though I was just guessing from what I know.
