How does downloading the game in parts work?. First time seeing this.
Download all the parts into one place so that all the files are together, take a program like WinRAR or 7zip and extract the lowest numbered/numberless one in the file extension, the numberless being treated as a lower number than .001, so extract from the numberless one if there is both a .001 and a numberless file, they will all extract one after another. Then just play the game using one of the .exe files that don't have a green icon, that one is for the studio.

Make sure that you put the files in a short file path, like directly on the very beginning of a drive so that the folder created will be the first folder named in the file path. The game does not like long file paths and WinRAR and 7zip will throw errors if the file path gets longer than your OS allows.

I'm having an issue where no matter what I do, the game still runs completely in japanese. I've disabled my firewall completely, redownloaded the game about 10 times, the file path is nice and simple, I even tried to get a fan translation going, and still no luck. I've been tearing my hair out over this for like 3 days now. Any help would be greatly appreciated :(

Without knowing your anti virus it's probably a false positive Bit Defender pick's it up.turn it off,cracked exe's often come up as viruses

If you use the Better Repack from ScrewThisNoise it´s all english out of the box.
Look here or here (torrent link only).

Yeah that's what I have downloaded, through the torrent. no luck though :( it still won't translate it. The only possible thing I can think of is the initsetting not actually updating anything as it won't save my preferences from displaying on monitor 1 to monitor 2 either, in addition to the language. It saves the resolution though so I'm not really sure what's up with that.

Edit: Just tested it some more and this is definitely the issue. The custom launcher quickly resets itself as soon as I try to change the language. I found this out by seeing the resolution change from 1440p to 1080 (the previous one) as soon as I try to change the language.

I updated HS2DX R8 through initsetting update right now and now my scripted dicks from hooh look like this:
View attachment 1737290
anybody know how to fix this? ScrewThisNoise
Seems like the R8 version adds in a bad version of the scripted cocks mod and removes the previous one.
You need 2 Plugins and one mod.
HS2_Hooah.dll and HS2_HooahUtility from
And scripted cocks from

The 2 plugins go into the BepinEX/Plugin folder and the Scripted Cocks went into the Sideloader Studio > Hooh folder, but I also deleted the [hooh] ScriptedCock v2.4.8 that was already in the Sideloader Studio> Hooh folder. That did it for me.

R8 has no Launcher any more. Start only via InitSetting and don´t touch the language buttons.
If you have tried to change the language in InitSetting: I watched an issue with the translator in earlier versions when I tried another language setting in Init - all graphic characters stayed japanese, only a new install helped.

Thanks man! Yeah it was frustrating having everything work perfectly and then after the update, that was broken. But thanks for the help.

Something is still wrong for me after doing this fix I've noticed. It looks so different now and not realistic like it used to before the 8.1 update.

This scene that I did, used to look perfect. After the update and after your fix, now the scripted dick looks almost translucent. It doesn't look right. I wonder what else could be done. Anybody else getting this? If all else fails, I might just redownload all of HS2DX8 again and not update untill DX9.

It could simply be that the material itself was changed, so it looks a bit different. But I am fairly sure that if you open the prop and darken it a bit it will look better, or lower the Smoothness some to reduce the brightness.

[BR] Better Repack R8.1.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.

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.

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 8.1
<--------------------->

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 17.01.2019, 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 Sister DLC
- Premium Bondage DLC
- DX Expansion

(*) = Optional mod
(**) = Utility

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 :)

I did and it still looks weird: HS2_2022-04-04-20-16-13-861.png
It's almost as if the scripted dick is not casting or receiving shadows. I checked the rendering editor and everything is check for casting and receiving. So strange. Here is a pic of the thumbnail of the old rendering on the right vs the new one on the left. One can see instantly that something changed: HS2_2022-04-04-20-12-17-539.png
We'll see if there's a fix later or something.

We'll see if ScrewThisNoise makes a patch or Hooh releases something to fix it.
Downloading from your sig look's good
