sadly, this is how it is as MrWrontubes and Great_Old_One said. and juslike lure_kin mentioned in this post, it would be a good time to have the R5.0.1 game folder safe and untouched as a back up as it is the latest stable repack version, and install the DX R1 to a clean folder for the time being, also in case of mod/plugins incompatibilities.I mean I understand that, i just hope he can/just release an update pack instead of entirely new repack - like hotfix .
I just dont want to waste the previous R5 final repack.
but i also understand your point of not wasting the R5 folder. if the plugins, mods, settings and user data is your main concern here, what you can do in this case is installing DX R1 to a new directory then copy the data from R5 to DX. but first please note that you have to download the DX R1 anyway (you don't have to download the optional 50gb studio sideloader mods) and always keep the downloaded .7z as a backup. then follow these steps:
- on R5, open the kkmanager and make sure that all your mods are updated to the latest.
- copy the whole "mods" folder from R5 to DX R1, overwrite the data. (this will copy all updated mods and those you personally added to DX and you will not have to redownload/update them again).
- then open "gamefolde\BepInEx" on R5 and copy the "plugins" folder to the same location in DX. merge the copied folders but do not overwrite any data. (this will copy all plugins you personally added from the optional folder or else and will skip the existing similar plugins in case the ones in DX are more updated. but please do note that some plugins such as "HSLipsync" require additional data or .dll files to be copied to the game directory game or somewhere out of the "plugins" folder, so make sure to place those manually later or they may cause errors and crashes).
- then while you are still on the "BepInEx" folder, open the "config" folder and select all (.cfg) files only and copy them from R5 to DX's similar folder. (this will copy all your plugin settings (F1) personalized option data to DX so you won't have to re edit those settings again, such as better penetrations settings).
- if you installed the community translation to R5, do not copy and redownload the translations and please perform all the steps found in this post here to DX.
- next, open the "gamefolder\userdata" folder and copy all content except for "LauncherEN", "ScreenEffect" and "System" and copy them to the DX userdata folder. (this will copy all of your character's, coordinates, frams and BGs, studio scene data, both main game and studio configs and all your materials and overlays).
- finally, go to game folder and run the game/studio from the InitSetting.exe just to make sure that everything is alright and to fix any error if found.
this way, you can consider that you have an updated (R5 to DX) game folder with all your data unchanged. but please keep your R5 folder as a back up on both ways if possible just in case.
