Installing the Patch

[Kana]

ATTENTION!/EDIT Hi! Sorry for not updating this sooner! I guess I haven't had the time. I've replaced the outdated link with an updated link! It should be working now. (≡^∇^≡)

But here's the link instead if you don't want to read the post again! https://jastusa.com/games/blue003_dlc/dramatical-murder---dlc-steam

If my post doesn't directly solve your issue, please refer to the comments! There are some kind people who have provided other solutions or simpler steps.

Hello hello~ I'm sure tons of others have already figured out how to install the patch, but I thought I could make a post for those who needed a little guidance. If you're a little confused or need clarification, I think I can cover some of that here.

For those wondering about the r18 content, unfortunately a lot of the spicy/juicy content isn't present in Steam's version of DMMd. If you haven't bought the game yet or just refunded, you can buy the full version game with all of its content here! [jastusa.com]


Unfortunately, the patch for the Steam version of DMMd is NOT free. You can buy the patch right here! [jastusa.com]

Once you've purchased the DLC, navigate to My Account then go to My Games and install the patch. Once you've downloaded it, you should have a .zip file named DMMd_steam_r18.zip

Unzip the .zip file then navigate back to Steam and go to your Library and right click DMMd. Click on Properties then Local Files. Then click Browse... and the game's folder should be open.

Open the folder that contains the patch (you should have this after you unzipped the .zip file) and copy script.npk & system.npk (or just drag them) into the game's folder and replace the file in the destination. There's an folder exactly named patch in the DMMd_steam_r18 folder. Just drag the folder into the game's files and you're good to go.

EDIT : I'm unsure if this is 100% accurate, so please do correct me if I'm wrong. When you go to config, the version should be 1.00s instead of just 1.00

late to the discussion, but i think i’ve installed the patch (it says version 1.00 now). during mink’s intro, the scene is still cropped 😭. notable aspect, compared to the unpatched version, the CG shifted a bit (aoba’s mouth is cropped out weirdly), but it still doesn’t show aoba’s jewelsnsjak💎

trying to verify integrity the game files removes the patch, so i keep re-pasting the DMMd_steam_r18 folder contents (system.npk and script.npk) into the data folder (the thing where you open it up with “Browse…”). it “applies” the patch again, but the problem is still there. i can’t see my precious peanuts 😢.

i think the issue might be the missing “patch” folder in the DMMd_steam_r18 files, making the transfer incomplete. just an assumption. any help? i’m freaking dying 🤬🙏

FIXED IT!! thankfully dug the discussion thread and came across a conclusion. im not tech-savvy at all, and im still grasping the basic computer terms, so please do correct me if im wrong.

this is what i did to resolve this problem, but you could use this guide no matter your situation if you want!

1. to make things clearer/easier, if you installed the patch, i suggest deleting and reinstalling the patch. make sure to go through deleting EVERYTHING.
2. run verify integrity of game files to organize the game files (probably).
3. after reinstalling and verifying game file integrity, unzip your DMMd_steam_r18 file. it has to include “patch” file folder, script.npk, and system.npk. open the unzipped folder if it hasn’t opened yet.
4. after unzipping, select all the files inside DMMd_steam_r18 file, and copy.
5. after doing so, locate the game files. to find the game files, open Steam and go to your Library and right click DMMd. Click on Properties then Local Files. Then click “Browse…” The game file should be named DRAMAtical Murder.
6. in the game file, paste the contents of the DMMd_steam_r18 file that you had previously copied.
7. after pasting, verify integrity of game files. it would probably take a few attempts for others, but keep verifying that shi!!
8. launch the game.

if the version looks the same, you’re most likely fine anyway. if you check the config menu and look into version info, there’d be some subtle yet notable changes. mine says [SCRIPT VERSION 1.00s]].

even though i deleted my backup files, it somehow maintained my data 🥳. pick a juicy scene to check it out if it works. i picked mink’s intro.

additionally, im somehow able to gain achievements while the patch is active.

hopefully this step-by-step method is clear for you guys huhu😭. im really doubting my lack of knowledge on the terminologies and just really happy this worked out well in the end, so i decided to share.

happy peanut hunting!! 🥜

OK NVM I FIGURED IT OUT!! if anyone needs help add me msg me!!

[duckshells]

you'd think that ppl would actually read the post and see that it does, in fact, explain how to download and apply the patch.....
Unfortunately for me for some reason the patch still does not show the full scenes... I have just completed a cleaning and re-installation so let's see if that works....

(update1)
OK FINALLY DONE IT. after some searching through other posts and reddit my game validated (and only validated) successfully when you import the FULL and original unzipped folder. no opening and copying and pasting those folders within the DRAMM_R18 folder just paste the folder as is once unzipped. now.... to speedrun to the legendary pubes scene...

yupp. .aaaaaaand there we have it folks.
the secret is to move the folder as is, download folder into downloads, unzip folder in downloads, open game files via steam (or if u know a faster way), drag unzipped folder into game files, validate and enjoy!
no need to open and paste specific files and replace.

Thank you SO MUCH, I kept trying to substitute the files in the DMMd folder and it wasn't working, but this method worked perfectly for me!
