Everything is fully patched but I still get errors!This shouldn't happen with a fresh full install, but in other cases, there are a couple of possible fixes.
Solution #1:- Your
abdata.grf got messed up at some point when you were patching Anesis.
- Download
abdatagrf.zip to get some necessary files, including an improved patcher.
- Move the new files to your AnesisRO folder to replace the old files.
- Run the new patcher to make sure you're completely up-to-date.
Solution #2:- There may be leftover files in your Data folder (inside the AnesisRO folder) from a previous installation.
- Find and delete the following txt files:
idnum2itemdisplaynametable,
idnum2itemdesctable, and
idnum2itemresnametable- Run anesispatch and you're ready to play!
Stuck in "Full Screen"By default, the game window is set to fill the screen, leaving only the taskbar showing. To change this:
- Exit the game and go to your AnesisRO folder and run
opensetup (NOT setup).
- Click
ROExt at the top of the window.
- Un-check Lock Window.
- Start the game and it should be in whatever resolution (window size) you chose.
Windows 8: Blank window or cannot init d3d, and no window resolution options in opensetup.The problem here is the version of opensetup you have. The version that came with the full installer is compatible up to Win7. If you have Win8, you'll need to download the newest version of opensetup from the developer's site:
http://nn.nachtwolke.com/dev/opensetup/- On that site, click the link in the pink box that says "
Download".
- Extract the files from the zip and put them in your main AnesisRO folder, replacing the older version of opensetup. (You just need the opensetup.exe file. The others are just info about it.)
- Run the new opensetup and switch from the blue bubble icon
(lua mode) to the blocks icon
(registry mode) found in the bottom left corner.
- In registry mode, you should be able to set the resolution and other graphical settings, and the game should work!
Homunculus errorsNote: This shouldn't doesn't happen with the latest installer, but if you install on top of your old install you might still have issues.So you had MirAI installed when you played on Animus or whatever RO. You didn't want to lose your settings so you backed up your USER_AI folder and moved it back to it's place inside the main AI folder after you installed AnesisRO. But now you get over 9000 errors if you bring out your homunculus. And what are those other two folders that start with AI?
Don't worry. Here's what you do:
Solution #1: I haven't found a good explanation for this, but you need to copy your backed up USER_AI folder to
all three AI folders (AI, AI_Patch, and AI_Sakray). Yes, you want to replace the USER_AI folders that are already there. Restart the game and see if it works.
Solution #2: If you are still getting errors, make sure you have 6 files in your main AI folder (not the USER_AI folder). The files are: AI.lua, AI_M.lua, Const.lua, lua.exe, pcAI.lua, and util.lua
a.) If all those files are there, make sure your USER_AI folder is still backed up somewhere, then download and install
MirAI again. See if it works with a fresh install. If it does, compare the USER_AI folder with your backup copy. Try copying your backed up files over there now. Does it still work? If it does, yay! If it doesn't, do whatever you need to do to get the fresh install back to your old settings.
b.) If any files are missing... either you accidentally deleted them at some point, or more likely it's been a while since you did a full install of aRO. Get the latest full installer and reinstall the game. Who knows what else you're missing? ^^;
