Downloaded all 8 parts, copied them to one folder and then tried to extract with 7zip and it says "can not open file as archive". What the hell guys?
Sounds like one or more of the files got corrupted during the download, the only fix is to try downloading again if that is the case, I'm afraid.

Please read completely, if you take the time YOU WILL profit and grow from this.
Try a general computer clean up. This might be a long post. but you'll have to take it step by step:
Just like in life there isn't a "Fix all button.."
I tend to stay away from All-in-One pakaged solutions. My reasoning is if one thing breaks. I know what that "thing" is. I still use a dedicated FIREWALL program (to see what is doing what), I still use a dedicated ANTIVIRUS (even though I know they are "spying"/"collecting data to sell.) I blame it on having been a Sys Admin, Net Admin, Web Ops Admin and "Firefighter". Managing individual processes is better then a blob of software/services bundled and thrown together with some shit error code.. The convinence of a ALL-IN-ONE solution is NOT worth it. Consider this. AT&T handles your Internet, Landline, Cellphone, TV/Cable. Just try to break away from them. Or try to get ONE thing fixed it's a nightmare to try to navigate these robo voice menu systems to talk to a human for an actual fix! This is up there with IRL QoL and the importance of right to repair, debug, troubleshoot, fix.
A.) Use Process Explorer it's an "Old program" but it IS a product Microsoft did acquire and still works PERFECTLY!. It's clean, it's canon, it's VERY mature as in it's 20 years old!!! AND IT's STILL FREE!

B.) CCleaner or any other optimization software you have available. (I use to use a "borrowed" version of Ashampoo Optimizer that worked very well. Honestly, I should buy a lifetime copy of the thing.) I recommend Major Geeks, File Hippo, Bleeping Computer for general system maintenance. Open Source > Freeware > Shareware > Trialware if it gives you the functionality you want... Recurva is good, 7zip,WinRar,PeaZip is good, Revo Uninstaller and a bunch of others. It should be the first thing you do with a new install of Windows (whatever), any programs that help you wrestle control away from microsoft is good. Big F off to the Microsoft store. It's a ploy to push "software subscription as a service" and always has been so.

Try a general computer clean up. This might be a long post. but you'll have to take it step by step. CCleaner and any other opimization software you have available.
Your PRIMARY Hard Drive that contains your Operating System should never be over 80% usage!
Your SWAPFILE/PageFile.sys should be 1.5x your available system memory yes, 8 Gb RAM? yes, that means 12 Gb Swapfile size. Set in Computer Managment.
I hope I don't sound condecending but I realize I'm going to have to make it's own topic in Games Dev and request input from others.
There is generally a problem with Unity games regarding memory leaks and usage. And it doesn't matter on regarding developer "quality";
Escape from Tarkov,
BattleTech (Paradox Interactive),
Wasteland 3
RimWorld,
Risk of Rain 2
Osiris: New Dawn

The problem compounds when there are OUR add-ons/mods thrown into the mix. More pre-caching, More behind the scenes, more "Thinking" and more processing.
It would be a sin for me to compare Java and Unity.. but.. two problems exist in any Object Oriented programming language paradigms..
First is pre-loading, caching, indexing...
Second is Garbage collection and thread management.
Pre-loading, caching, indexing... we are responsible for. Loading up (and even just keeping available) 5000 assets but only using a handfull while complaining "ugh this is so slow!" is kinda on us.
Garbage Collection/Clean-up/Thread management is higher level problem somewhere between what the coders have exposed in the Unity API and how modders developers interact with it.
You must be registered to see the links
Unity uses the
You must be registered to see the links
which is a stop-the-world garbage collector, meaning that whenever it needs to perform garbage collection, it will stop the running program, and only resume normal execution once it has finished all its work. This can cause delays in the execution of the program at somewhat arbitrary moments, which can take anywhere between less than 1 and several 100 milliseconds, depending on how much memory the garbage collector needs to process and on the platform the program is running on. Now, obviously, for real-time applications like games, this can become quite a big issue, as it isn’t possible to sustain a consistent frame rate as required for smooth animation if the program’s execution can be arbitrarily suspended by the garbage collector. These interruptions are also known as GC spikes, as they will show as spikes in an otherwise smooth profiler frame time graph. Usually, developers try to work around this issue by writing their code to avoid creating “garbage” memory while running the game, so the garbage collector has less work to do – but this isn’t always possible or easy.Sound familar? it should

Basically any time you see, feel, extra long loading time, see the spinning "loading" that can take up to 2-4 minutes and it doesn't crash that somehow gets magically fixed with an Alt-tab out and back in and keep waiting? It's a Stop the World GC clean up.
There is a second issue with Garbage Collection / Memory Reclaimation.. Bad coders taking shortcuts writing code. One bad practice is. I create a process/event.. grab/connect/access to a with an arg(ument), address, point to either feed data (input) or pull data (output). I continue my code.. either "massaging"/moving/continue processing the data, numbers...whatever. Then I get my result and close my process/event/function.
What did I forget? I forgot to CLOSE the connection to whatever I CALLED... I can't begin to tell you how "smart" some developers are.. and are stupid when it comes to managing themselves. It's like getting all the ingredients for a huge meal, cooking it, presenting the table, and the food. and no one does the dishes and the kitchen is a disaster! So please don't hog system resources. if it's un-intended please fix it, the longer and more it goes on the more it will end up BREAKING EVERYTHING. This is also called a memory leak.
Direct example? fine... JDBC connection pools stay open indefinately until the call closes them. It's like making a phone call and never saying "Goodbye." and the other person keeps waiting. You know? Like you are waiting for some fuckhead to respond to you at the service/call center? Maybe you remember something called AJAX? where it was a client server thing? well Oracle Databases and Most Web Services Server Middleware (WebLogic/ColdFusion/TomCat/a bunch of other shit..) rely on that interconnect between in memory arrays and on disk data storage and look-ups. Well most of these interconnects are like SJAX. synchronous..
If I had a $50-100k once a year every time I got a call about needing to restart the web server or process has crashed or whatever while 24/7 on-call fucking nightmare fuel wage slave golden handcufss.. I'd be a burnt out and retired System Admin. Oh wait.
(P.s. want to see a true clusterfuck of a problem? look at Project Zomboid.. Personally Oracle they have gotten into the we acquire companies and don't actually make things.. also support Adopt Open JDK adoptopenjdk dot net
You must be registered to see the links
hopefully they can get some good garbage collection algos integrated)Don't believe me try Pillars Of Eternity, Wasteland 3 and Battletech with a TON of mods and add-ons. Where as Subnautica? Smooth as butter right and "amazing"? Anytime there IS NOT pathing, physics calculations or collision avoidance and or multiple assets loaded it starts to choke.
All of these programs start to choke when there is many items, actors, processes on screen. it gets worse when background processes perform an update or there is some telemetry collected from your computer that gets sent to... WHOMEVER..
All that can be said is try to kill as many background processes you have with Process Explorer. Use something like CCleaner to stop "scheduled" tasks at start-up. Find any "back ground updaters" temporary stop or kill them. If you have "Game mode" in your Anti-virus and Firewall activate it. Use Process Explorer and TCPView (from the same SysInternals) or WIRESHARK and see what application is sending, what traffic is being sent and who is it sending it to via Ip Address and the port being used. I hate IPv6..
Very short answer, Unity is "thinking" too much and gets distracted and shoved around a lot. You CAN change the program priority with Process Explorer from Normal to High and will see a difference in loading! It is NOT recommened to use Real-Time because it will effect/affect Windows itself and any 3rd party driver layer applications.. OBS, Logitech suite and devices, Elgato, Sound processing/recording, Camera recording/capture, etc... Too many .zipmods, too many save games, too many co-ord cards, too many accessories, too many CARDS in your /UserData/chara/females...
And please.. for the love of sanity.. limit # of girls on the island to 3... at 4 it starts to get wild. beyond 8 your are asking for the system to crash. You can see the agent struggling to update their states and behaviors.
Fuck it.. I made it a topic in Tools/Tutorials.
https://f95zone.to/threads/unity-so...s-clean-up-latency-optimization-tweaks.84802/
That's likely because the game is severely unoptimized, there is nothing that can be done. I don't get above 20 FPS, either, and the first few builds ran at 40-60 consistently, then came the DLC, which shouldn't have messed with the FPS, but something happened around that time to trigger the major drop in FPS and it was not on the player end.
Hello, I tried to upload 5 characters today but I don't find them when I select my pseudo in download on AI or Honey Select 2. I check and now these characters have the option update in upload. If someone can please help me, my pseudo is Billyjin, do you see it on the list or in the newest ?

don't cross post.. In fact, I can see are serious about this post.
What in the hell are you doing. That's just absurd...
You uploaded? To where? your shared drive? to steam? to illusion?
your pseudo? your pseudo what? character? user id? directories?
litterally in the Anus of Zeus, some Fuckies, Big Abstration of Something Formless.. What does your pseudo even mean? does that mean your Alias? your userid? on this site or another site?
option to update in upload? okay. why? do you need to update it? did you update it?..
WHERE are you trying to push/put your files??!?
Look, first and foremost.
Only people in Japan are allowed to upload to Illusion servers... If you are on Steam and have localized access you can use your a steam version of the game you have purchased to upload your character to the Steam dedicated uploads. Understand this however... If you upload content that uses mods that are "Fan" based? you will be banned.
The rest of the stuff. I can't even being to understand WHY it's so important to have it upload. Are you talking about uploading it to here on F95zone? we can see it, without you having to ask..
this isn't facebook thumbs up and hearts aren't something you give to everyone.
So yeah. it is hillarious. because me having a "stronk" is a better alterative then me pointing out everything that is wrong with that sentence!
I can understand if "English is not your first language" or "sorry for machine translation.." Doamne, ce vremuri traim! E plin de oameni haini! BUT YOU GIVE ZERO detail about destinations/targets. I don't want a URL, I don't want a directory structure, I just want to have a basic understanding of what task/goal/out-come you expect. Do you understand?
I'll give you an example: "The file, my computer, on drive, moved, now file, not here, it go? why go? why no go? can you check? my potato is there. do you see my potato?"
Can you be more condescending? You're not perfect, are you?
Yeah, english is not my first language, would that be more simple for you to just write : "Only people in Japan are allowed to upload to Illusion servers" and be done with it. You must have a sad life to take the time, to write all this crap to a total stranger who wrote a tiny message to ask help.

Bro, only one person took the time to decipher your post and answered it. Others moved on without even attempting to help (including me) because frankly nobody understood what you meant. And how did you thank the person who tried to help you and actually helped you? Hmm?
And insult me in the process ... I would have prefer that he did exactly like you : nothing. How would you respond to a stranger who is helping you to find a street by saiying : "It's this way damn ass !!" ...

Good afternoon, how are you? I have returned to this post to ask for help again .. I think it is not as stupid as my previous problem. I have the Ai HF MOD installed and the first few weeks it worked spectacularly. Suddenly, when I update it, my save game stopped working. I reinstalled everything again, losing my save in the process, but it was still malfunctioning. The third time it worked perfectly, but when it came to downloading girls there were some who made the game crash. I avoided using them and set out to start a new game with the ones that did work. I activated the mod aiextragirls and put 9 girls. I had no problem playing, but to my surprise, I could no longer use character creation and every time I edit a girl or open the character creation, what I am going to leave in an image happens.
I also attach them to one of the girls that I downloaded which do not work. Surely i have a problem with some mod ... but i would not know what it is. I already tried disabling the aiextragirl mod .. but it's the same
Gracias!

1.) Please use the " InitSetting.exe "
2.)
3.) Console should give messages. Highlight all red messages.. Cntl-C. Open notepad. Set cursor. Cntl-V
4.) Use Manly Marco's good program for mods and tools, KKManager (it works with Koikatsu, AI and HS2.)
You must be registered to see the links
5.) Extract KKManager_v0.17.0.7z (or newer version) directly into it's own folder inside an Illusion game folder.
So it looks something like this... Naming is not important. just one level inside your main game directory.
Ai-Girl/Ai-Girl.exe
Ai-Girl/InitSetting.exe
Ai-Girl/KKmanager/KKmanager.exe
6.) Run KKManager.exe, check for duplicates, (and disable .zipmods if you do not need them OR they cause an error!) in Sideloaders and Mods play with the buttons and get comfy with interface it is simple. It also has a better "updater" function.
7.) Make sure you have newest video drivers for video card. (I do not know what is for AMD.). Make sure you MANUALLY add <main game.exe> NOT InitSettings.exe
8.) Tune up Program settings.. You might have to take it down from Quality to Performance (Change the "Use global settings").
Hit [Apply] every time you change a setting.
9.) Keep /userdata/coords and /userdata/chara/female thin and lean. Under 20-50 cards/outfits/files.
Good luck and "tis nothing" (De Nada?)

![[BR] Better Repack R10.png](https://attachments.f95zone.to/2021/06/1258795_BR_Better_Repack_R10.png "[BR] Better Repack R10.png")
Due to the need to patch BepInEx 5.3 plugins to BepInEx 5.4 format, initial/first launch will take longer than usual. This is a one time thing, until plugins are updated for the new format.
(Contains the full JP game, so not meant to be applied to another installation)
If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.
As of R2.3 you can update the sideloader modpack (clothing mods etc) from the launcher. Just press the icon in the lower left corner of the launcher with the arrow to check for updates. I'm updating that more often than the main pack, so should get some updates there every so often
This is the readme for the pack, detailing the contents:
Code:
Release 10 // 09.06.2021
<--------------------->
No donations // no ad-maze // no upfront payment
If you paid for this, you were scammed!
If you like the game, please buy it!
If you enjoy the mods, please consider donating to the modders on patreon where possible.
This pack is made with a up2date base game as of 30.10.2019, along with the components listed in credits, all up2date as of the release date of this pack. Some extras have been included, but are either easily removable or are sorted into folders marked [OPTIONAL]. Enjoy!
To add shortcuts to your desktop of the launcher and the most important folders for the game, feel free to run '[BR] Create Desktop Icons.bat'.
If you have trouble starting the game, start the game once through the launcher (InitSetting.exe), this will check for errors and fix them as well before starting the game.
[B]IF YOU'RE MOVING FROM ANOTHER REPACK:[/B]
I don't recommend just extracting this over another repack, due to potential conflicts. Please extract this to its own folder and move over your chara, cap, studio and save folders.
[B]WANT A VANILLA PACK?[/B]
If you wish to convert this pack into a vanilla pack, there is a included script named '[BR] Vanillify the game.bat' that gives you the following options:
1. Remove only translation, leaving the rest of the mods intact
2. Remove all BetterRapack Extras
4. Remove all BetterRepack Extras, mods and translation
Feel free to use this script to customize your install, but keep in mind that using this may make the game incompatible with future repack updates, requiring you to download the next repack in full!
[B]WANT YOUR CARD OR SCENE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT REPACK?[/B]
Feel free to DM me on discord (ScrewThisNoise#3544) with the card(s) and/or scene(s), and I'll see what I can do for the next release. (See community links for server link)
[B]What is included in the base game?[/B]
- Base release game
- All preorder extras
- Newest official update as of 30.10
- Premium Miko DLC
- Premium Succubus DLC2
- Premium Bondage DLC
- DX Expansion
[B]Updated in release 10 (this release):[/B]

Feel free to tell me if you reupload the pack anywhere else!
I'd very much appreciate it if you would all think about supporting me on patreon, but keep in mind that I won't paywall my packs, this is just for supporting me making my packs better
As some of you have noticed, downloading content from the in-game downloader is quite the unstable experience. In order to offer multiple venues to aquire cards, I've acquired all available scene and card content on the official uploader (normaly only available from Japanese IPs) so that you may grab some of that content if you desire
