Changelog
Important changes
- Apply 2024 Matsuribayashi Ch.8 Crash Fixes
- The vanilla Matsuribayashi Ch.8 game received an update at the start of 2024 to fix crashes when loading saves with certain effects active, see here for more details: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1243670/discussions/0/4042609216213464008/?tscn=1704097237
- This fix just copies those fixes into our mod
- See here for more details 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#120
- SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY: This DLL is backwards compatible with old saves. However, the old DLL is not forward-compatible with the new one. Basically you won't be able to use old versions of the mod to load any saves you make (I've tested this and after making some 'new' saves, the old game won't start up and will give you a warning message about "unknown save version")
DLL Changes
- Fix 'return to main menu', 'quit', and 'load' not working when a choice is on-screen
- Try to fix touchscreen support
- Fix GUI and Toast (popup at top of screen) scaling
- Fix black backgrounds if bgs toggled at startup
DLL Changes For Translators
- Add support for translating mod menu, please see wiki for instructions on using the
localization.json

Changelog
- Updated arcs 1-9 to make use of roughly 3000 voice lines extracted from Higurashi Origin.
- Origin is DLC for the Switch/PS4 version of Higurashi that allows you to play through arcs 1-9 in a format more like the original PC version, with the route system removed and some (but not all) censorship reverted.
- Changes come in roughly 3 categories:
- Some unvoiced lines now have voices.
- Some low quality PS2 voice lines replaced with higher quality Origin voices.
- Some places where the mod uses PS3 lines that mostly match the original script have been replaced with new voice lines that 100% match the original script.
- Some of the lines touched here would previously show you the censored or uncensored text based on your Voice Matching Level. Those places tweaked to always use the uncensored voice lines when available.

Changelog (Full)
General Bug Fixes
- Fix a crash if you toggle any art style options too many times (about 10 times) without advancing the text.
- Fix the "Skip CGs" option not working in some cases
Stuck Sprite Fixes
- Fix cases of the 'stuck sprite' bug related to lipsync, by swapping textures instead of calling drawBustShot.
- Even with this fix, we've still had some reports of multiple of the same sprite on the screen at the same time, but it seems to go away at the next scene transition.
- This issue only affects chapters 6-8
- This issue seems to happen at certain points in the game if you click to advance text while an animation is running, depending on the timing of your clicks. Users who like to click through the voices likely have a higher chance of seeing this bug.
- Send us a screenshot if you see this issue happening
- The github issue for stuck sprites is at SPOILERS
https://github.com/07th-mod/higurashi-assembly/issues/45SPOILERS, but since it contains screenshots of the game, it contains spoilers.
Original/Ryukishi mode fixes
- Fix sprite positions not matching original game when there are 3 sprites on the screen at once.
- Our base mod has spaced out some sprites to better fit the widescreen aspect ratio in some cases. This fix attempts to put them back to their original position when you are using 4:3 Original backgrounds.
- Fix portrait (zoomed in sprite) images not being cropped when using 4:3 mode (you would need to use Console sprites with OG backgrounds)
- Fix lipsync when using Console sprites in Ryukishi mode (when the UI is 4:3)
Mod Menu Updates
- Fixes issues raised in: 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#61
- Added tabs for Gameplay, Graphics, Audio, and Troubleshooting to separate options
- Graphics presets are now "Console/Mangagamer/Original" instead of "ADV/NVL/Ryukishi"
- Made sprite/background/text window options less confusing by making the following options independent of each other:
- Sprite style (used to be changed when changing the "art set")
- Background style (used to be changed via an override, and would reset when "art set" changed)
- Background stretching (used to be part of the background selection)
- Text window appearance (used to depend on the graphics preset)
- Dedicated "Custom" graphics preset
- Custom preset is no longer indicated by a asterisk (*) next to a default preset - instead it appears as its own preset
- This preset is activated when you modify any of the default presets (or just click "Custom")
- The values in the "Custom" preset are saved, even if you activate one of the default presets. This allows you to switch between your custom preset and any of the default presets to see how it looks
Meakashi Voice and Graphics Patch v5.1.4
Which .zip file should I download?
Download the Meakashi.Voice.and.Graphics.Patch.zip.
In short, we are changing some things on our backend, and to make sure the links don't break, this particular release will have two .zip files, which are both the same file. The next release will only have one zip file.
Changes
This release fixes Linux/Mac audio playback when the audio filename in the game script is not all-lowercase (broken in last release).
We recommend using our installer to install the mod.
For users installing manually, you'll need the below archives:
- All manual users: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/audio/HigurashiKai-OG-BGM-SE.7z (already listed on the Manual Install page)
- For users who are updating from an older install, you'll also need: https://07th-mod.com/rikachama/audio/MangaGamer-Answer-BGM-SE-Restore.7z
These folders should be put in your HigurashiEp05_Data/StreamingAssets folder (they don't contain the usual directory structure of the other archives!).
Changelog
- Fix Linux/Mac audio playback when script filename is not all-lowercase (commit in the DLL repo: 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly@20bb4ae)
- On Linux/Mac, in the last release with the new BGM/SE switching, if an audio file was not lowercase in the game script, it would fail to play as the case didn't match. Windows was unaffected as it doesn't care about upper/lower case.
