Unity Completed Honey Select 2 [DX R16] [Illusion]

[turbojoe]

Here we have it:
downloading torrent file over night


Extracted and started the clean new R11 first for test without transferring any of my old datas.
Walking through the Tutorial and all was working fine.

As I´ve seen there are some new H-scenes and Rooms showing up.

Next I will finish it with transferring my personal datas from my old R10 and running finally "update", following these instructions of Sykosis https://f95zone.to/threads/illusion...lect-2-card-sharing-thread.44248/post-7876189

Why is it that when I download other things on the browser, it always starts at 2mb but in this game update is too slow 145kb and the highest is 300kb / s. I have more than 15gb of updates left. Is there any way to increase the download speed ?

I guess you didn´t recognize this discussion some pages before?
Look here https://f95zone.to/threads/honey-select-2-dx-r10-illusion.53457/post-9303531
or here https://f95zone.to/threads/illusion...lect-2-card-sharing-thread.44248/post-9298457

For short times I get up to 1,4 Mb/sec , but it´s heavily fluctuating also down to 200 KB/sec or lower.
Here I´m downloading Bleeding Edge, I was lazy last time


It is like it is..........

But be sure we all are with you with the same troubles

Recommendation: start your updates weekly, so you have less to download.

Guys a doubt, I would like to know which is better GraphicMod or DHH.

Can you tell me the benefit of both?

Which has the best visual quality?

The common question
You have to ask your system about it
DHH is very useful if you are on older/lower tier GPU, but it results in not so realistic looking character
GraphicMod on other hand, is preferred if you are running newer/mid-to-higher tier GPU
Also in GraphicMod, there is SSS
It's used for Hanmen Next Gen Skin Shader (for even more realistic looking chara)

I was used to use 1060 6GB, technically I can run the game on GraphicMod, but its very laggy
But in DHH, it ran smoother
There are some preset for GraphicMod that lighten up the burden for lower tier GPU, but still its far better to run DHH instead

Illusion titles are ram heavy. Buy a few new ram sticks and you'll be amazed what a difference it makes.

And the game on a SSD bringing a lot of performance!

And the game on a SSD bringing a lot of performance!

wait, when you say performance, do you mean any better FPS or just better loading times?

 

[CaliLuv]

....In this case, simply get a new IP from the provider
I do this very elegantly with a Firefox plugin that sends a command to the Fritzbox

You must be registered to see the links

just a suggestion...

Thanks mate for the suggestion, i'll keep that in mind the next time.

Radeon RX 550/550 4GB counts as old/slow right?

Imo, yes

 

[lcsgmrbr]

I want to do some scenes/animations, I saw that ai shoujo has better graphics, do you recommend using it to do the scenes? And since I don't have a good graphics card, I plan on using DHH anyway, so I have some presets here.

Hey, I'm new with this game and I'm a little confused about something, maybe someone can help me. I would like to have the all in one thing except everything concerning the studio for making content.

So if I understood correctly, from the torrent of the release 11 available on the better repack website, I only need the base game Honey Select 2 DX Better Repack R11 and I can ignore Sideloader Modpack Studio wich is related to making content with studio neo etc



Now what I don't understand is how can I get those mod packages, I think they are named Sideloader Modpack etc, are those included in the archive of the repack ? I think those contain clothes, mods, girls cards, maps, things like this but I'm not sure. Is there an all in one torrent ? I couldn't find it on BR website, I only found pages where you can download them 1 by 1 for people who whant to update specific mods, but what about people who start from scratch is there a torrent to download them all in one ? Thanks by advance, I'm a bit lost with this any help would be appreciated

You´re right, and all mods you need for the game are included in BetterRepck R11.

You will see the Sideloader folders after extracting the 7z.

By the way: if you have extra mods or will ever download from a patreon, which is not included in Sideloader packs, you have to store them in mods/MyMods - NEVER in a Sideloader folder. If there it will be deleted by Sideloader if you run "update"!

Thanks a lot for the answer and also for the advice !

Im not sure about that.
HS2 and AI are kinda use the same architecture, so most of their mods, plugins, cards and scene are usable on both title.
Some says AI has more thing in the main game rather than HS2.
But I think it doesn't really matter if you are planning to use the studio.

Sry, overlooked your question

My experience belongs to my old Desktop with only 4 GB DDR2 and the game on a HDD. FPS was playable (40-50), but the loading time was disastrous. Starting the game, open character groups, open Charmaker, start a H-Scene - always enough time to go for a beer or to toilet .
Then added a SATA SSD and installed the game on it the loading times excelerated significantly, nearly as fast as on my gaming laptop.
FPS increase less 10%.

I see. I have the game and studio on an HDD myself (although modern, like 1 year old I think, almost the cheapest 1TB I could find).

It does take around 1 full minute to load a big scene (I'm talking about the scene you can find marked as a Map in the post that is linked to my sig if you want a quick look for scale - everything is an object and not actually part of a map) starting from the desktop.

Once it's loaded in everything sticks to around 30fps depending on the direction I'm looking in the map.

The scene by itself probably takes 20 seconds out of that minute to load.

For any normal scene that doesn't have hundreds (or thousands?) of objects in it, the load time is around 5 seconds though.

I think part of your issue was that DDR2 ram as well XD
