Touhou 6: Koumakyou - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Touhou 6: Koumakyou - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

I downloaded the file and extracted and ran thcrap to install the english language patch. When I run the th06 (en) shortcut I get an error from thcrap that says it failed to find vpatch.exe. Any idea what to do? Also I can't find this readme file ya'll have been mentioning literally anywhere.

Edit: I was able to fix this by downloading the specific vpatch for th06 file from thpatch.net . Not totally sure if links are allowed on this forum as I'm super new but this is the link to the download I used from the thpatch website: Vpatch for TH6 . Just extract this into the main EOSD directory.

P.S. Just 1cc'd the game on normal with MarissaB on my first try with her :giggle: This was my second attempt at all with any character, my first run ended on stage 5 with ReimuA but I continued enough to see most of the final boss patterns. On my clear though it was my first time seeing the final pattern and I clutched it with no lives no bombs left!!!!!!!

hi my game works fine but every time i close it and restart it all my progress is lost, i beat the game and unlocked extra stage but when i restarted it it was gone, anyone know how to fix it?
 
In case the game isn't working:

You could try restarting your PC, it's the easiest and sometimes fixes it, though not usually.

If you get an error and it's gibberish, you might need to emulate Japanese locale for the game or set your system locale as Japanese (might need PC restart). I've never used it myself, but Locale Emulator exists that I've heard others use.

If the error mentions Direct3D, it's a DirectX error. Either you should reinstall the DirectX runtime, or more preferably, use d3d8to9 or DXVK, which should come with some improvements besides fixing the error, like better input delay. To use it, you would want to put the d3d8.dll into the game's folder. For DXVK, the d3d8.dll from the x32 folder.

If the game runs but with too much FPS (or maybe too low?), or messy textures, d3d8to9 or DXVK should fix it.

Did you rename the Touhou executable? The readme is outdated and that isn't needed, try naming it back if you did.

Though I'll be honest, I also managed to get that second error message before, and I don't know what causes it or how to fix it. But I'll try to help if renaming the executable back doesn't make the game work.
 
how do you get the focus only hitbox patch to work? i read the read me and i dont understand ive tried a bunch of stuff and it wont work
 
did you get it working?
Here's most of the steps I took to make it work:
Launch thcrap.exe in the thcrap folder
Click next once and proceed with the new installer
Select "all patches" and wait until it loads
Use the search box and search for "hitbox," then find the patch and add it
Perhaps combine it with other Touhou mods if they work. I removed the Japanese language it offered me by default because I just wanted to test if those worked
Select your EoSD (I selected both custom and the normal one)
And create a shortcut for your thing somewhere in thcrap. Then use that shortcut to launch the game. It worked with my setup, but it may be incompatible with some other mods.
