Having a hard time getting it running. I keep getting a "Game demo open error[f^fCfgf<.demo]" message and the patch renamer doesn't appear to work

[Setsuna]

This game just needs to come to the consoles or something ... the worlds missing out

[fatjoe400]

Just downloaded the game today, and its pretty good fighter. Surprised by the amount of detail of the characters and background (for its file size). Only wish I had someone to play with, but I would be lucky to find another player in my state (live in South Carolina). Thanks for the helpful posts Hecatom

Downloaded game, opened it.

Window closed as soon as it opened. Can't get it to work.

What's up with that?

I had this problem too. Changing the file name to "vanpri" fixed it.

Which file? The Application? I tried that and it didn't work.

#vp on irc.mizuumi.net if people have questions or are having problems with getting the game to run.

Sometimes people are AFK, so don't expect to get an immediate answer.

FYI: http://poverty.mizuumi.net/wiki/Vanguard_Princess has download links, guides, and character info. (You can also access the #vp irc channel by using the chat drop down menu at the top of the page).

way i solved this way back when i first got the game was to change the non-unicode program language from english to japanese and then re-download. 1.08 works for me now too.

[Setsuna]

Im still confused about the 1.08, i followed the FAQ in the wiki but still nothing :/ it shuts down once i open it, do i have to delete 1.07 from my computer ... or what should i do from this point ?

[Xtra_Zero]

Same problem here. 1.07c works fine with no modifications. 1.08 dies on execution.

FIXED:

Strange, even with locale set to Japanese it won't run unless you change the EXE and KBT to something non-Japanese.

If you haven't done anything other than plug your stick in, then yeah you're going to run into a problem where the TE and Windows wants to use the POV hat instead of the X/Y axes, which is not supported by most games. I think this will be useful if that is the case: http://www.mediafire.com/?gxe1ujj4fzu

I got mine to work. Now I just need to figure out how to play....

EDIT: Okay, no seriously, how the fuck do you play this? Does this game have gatlings at all? Combos? Am I just playing good Street Fighter?

The game is alot like Street Fighter. Pokes, spacing, crossups, hitconfirm into super, normal anti-airs, all the basics are extremely important. What sets this game apart from SF is the helper. Without the helper, the game is almost mechanically identical to SF. With the helper, however, the game is more like ... idk ... JoJo or something. You can set up ridiculously nasty situations for your opponent as well as make reasonable combos with good use of the helper mechanic.

Thanks and how about my problem with the sprites freezing/glitching ?

kurumi is the only one who can gatling normals. Some characters have very short target combos (eri has j.B->C), and eri also has rekkas(236x). Combos (aside from kurumi) are done street fighter style, by using a move that causes more hitstun than its recovery and next move's start-up combined. Your assists are also there to help u with comboing aside other stuff. Some characters like eri can get pretty long combos thanks to the assists, eko being the most combo oriented of them.

I remember back in 1.07c i had a 40-hit combo with eri using eko assist, and another for about the same damage but like 20-ish hits using kanae assist.

Also remember that some characters are just not combo oriented at all, like haruka.

Tell me what OS you have and I'll give you the rundown.

[St1ckBuG]

Isn't there a switch on TE's that you need to have on a certain setting?

Windows 7 Ultimate

Windows 7 Ultimate

Alright. Be aware that the only thing that can mess your system up is improper use of readydriverplus and it isn't completely necessary in the first place (I don't have it installed either ... though I might soon), so you don't need to install it if it worries you. Just remember that in order to use the sticks you're going to have to tap F8 every time you power your computer on to bring up the Windows boot menu and disable driver signature authentication. This is no big deal, isn't very hard, and doesn't pose any practical threat to your computer.

Other than installing readydriverplus, if you follow the readme carefully (and even if you don't, actually) there is almost no chance of messing your computer up. The only thing you really risk by messing up is the stick not working properly, which is already the case.

After following the readme you will have to use the newly installed XBCD Setup Utility to change the configuration of the D-pad on your stick from POV hat to the X/Y axes. There's a specific way the controller should be configured to preclude some problems with some games, like Melty not detecting buttons above 10.

1. You could try the program Xtra recommended or X-Padder or Joy2key. You could also try changing the small switch on your TE to the Right/Left Stick inputs as opposed to the D-Pad.

2. That's a rather odd one. Perhaps update your graphics card?

On my stick this makes inputs lag.
