Teaching Feeling v3.0.22 Install & Maintenance
This guide is written to aid players having difficulty getting v3.0.22 up and running using the Apply Patch button in-game. This is a manual workaround that can be used to get the game up and running the first time, as well as keep it up to date whenever there is a new TransFix or Modpack update.
THIS GUIDE ASSUMES THAT YOU HAVE ACQUIRED A CLEAN JAPANESE VERSION OF THE GAME, FROM DLSITE OR OTHERWISE WITH NO MODS OR TRANSLATIONS WHATSOEVER.
First and foremost, you will need 7-zip to ensure that this process works without a hitch. If you don't have it, go and get it; it's completely free to use and is the most flexible alternative to WinZIP or WinRAR or similar programs, supporting just about any sort of archive format you can imagine. This includes our TPATCH format that Ray uses for Teaching Feeling at the moment.

You must be registered to see the links
to stay up to date on the development of the translations, fixes, and modding projects for v3.0.22. When a new thread is posted at the bottom, bookmark and follow the new thread. All discussion pertaining to updates happen in that thread.
Click on the indicated link in the image above to retrieve the TPATCH that is necessary to upgrade your v3.0 to v3.0.22.
Assuming that these instructions have not been working for you (please try the instructions indicated first, before continuing to read this guide), go to the highlighted link as you would normally when using the standard update procedure.
Click the link indicated to download a ZIP file which contains your TPATCH file. Rename this file to something, as it uses the same name the TransFix patch uses. I opted for
"update.tpatch"
Next, go to the link indicated in the image above. This will take you to TF Anon's MEGA where all updates to the translation & fixes patch are uploaded, as well as his and VoiceMod Anon's mods.
You should bookmark this folder as well and check it regularly if you don't want to follow the 4chan thread. Check the dates listed on these two files. If they change from the last time you saw them, that means there has been an update to either the TransFix or Modpack patches.
ALWAYS APPLY TRANSFIX BEFORE MODPACK, AS MODPACK IS ON THE TOP OF THE LOADING STACK. MODPACK FILES WILL BE THE MOST UPDATED / FIXED / MODDED VERSION OF A TEACHING FEELING FILE.
Download both of these files, and place them with your
"update.tpatch" in your Teaching Feeling installation, under
\resources\app\ as shown below:
The first time that you are updating v3.0 to v3.0.22, you will be using update.tpatch first. Once this is complete, you will never need update.tpatch ever again. Afterwards, you will use fix_TF.tpatch, followed by modpack.tpatch. Right click on the TPATCH you wish to open. Assuming you have 7zip shell integration, you should get a context menu as shown in the image below to open the archive and view its contents.
This will open the 7zip archive viewer, where you will see files that match the directory structure of \resources\app\. Select and extract
ALL FILES from the TPATCH into the folder as shown in the image below.
When asked to replace existing files, say YES TO ALL. Once you have finished with one TPATCH, move on to the next. Once you have overwritten all files with all TPATCH's, you are officially updated and ready to play. Enjoy!
