Even with 7-Zip (best choice to extract these files)?
Have you checked that the file endings are correct numbered as I showed in the linked posting?

Otherwise you have 2 options:
1- download again these "corrupted" files (and hope it´s working now)
2- leave this complicated and error prone way and download via torrent (get torrent file of BR R13 directly here )
Yeah I downloaded via torrent, just was letting you know it's corrupted, even for 7zip.

IS there a torrent to just get it that way?


Torrent is one of the option on the right and is my recommended download approach. It takes a long time but avoids any need to muck about with joining split files. Torrrent download then extract using 7Zip is in my mind the trouble free approach to getting the game.
Then you'll also want to install it on a drive & directory like D:/HS2/
The shorter the name & the higher the level the less problems encountered. Also avoiding C:/ is said to avoid some problems.

All the best

As Velcro answered - here is the direct link for R13 for the BetterRepack (game + mods).

Optional Modpack Studio is now an extra file
But note this is ONLY for StudioNEO and NOT for the game. You only need this if you want work with StudioNEO.

Your torrent download is corrupted??? I can´t believe, that´s very unusual for torrent downloading - I never had an issue with the torrent file since R4.1. :unsure:
Cuz you wrote about "Archive 10 to 19 corrupted" I thought you have downloaded the splitted packs from MEGA or Google Drive or similar.
Didn´t know so far that the splitted packs you can download via torrent.

Are you sure you torrent downloaded the 60GB .7z file of BR R13 with the torrent file from here

Oh no I meant that I downloaded the torrent because half the split archive was corrupted. Sorry for the confusion.

Start via InitSettings and you can select language
View attachment 2835714
Pretty sure that red, yellow, red flag half way down on the left is going to be Espanol.
oh yes I did see that but it translates in a very bad way, it does it directly from google translator, I was referring to a patch in Spanish so I translated it completely, because in the scenes the letters appear in Japanese and then it translates itself

Follow up question, where do I put the Sideloader Mod content?

Thanks, just trying to figure out what to do with the sideloader mod content, also holy crap people made a lot of mods.
And moving it to my secondary drive right now. Kinda regretting not putting it there to begin with since I have more space there.

Not sure what you mean - the 1 big BetterRepack .7z file you only need to extract into your self created game folder. All the Sideloader Modpacks for the game are included yet.

Or have you meant the additional downloaded "Optional Sideloader Modpack Studio" (for R13 ~ 170GB)?
It´s the same - extract it into your game folder, then a new "Sideloader Modpack" folder is showing up in mods.
But pls note this Modpack is ONLY for StudioNEO and have no use for the game!
If you only want to play the game and work with chara maker you don´t need to install this.

Huh, ok, maybe I did get the wrong one, I'm seeing R4.0.1.
This one had an additional zip labeled [OPTIONAL]PAI-HS2} Sideloader Modpack Studio

The optional mod extra content is only needed if you want to use Studio. I would suggest starting with getting the main game up and running, have a play with that and with Character Maker, then move onto Studio.

That could still be usable and will be smaller than the current one. Then you could run the updater instead and add the relevant element types you want.
