How to fix
1. Use Steamless Repack to unpack original exe
2. After use Steamless there'll be Fatal frame MOL.exe.unpack and Fatal frame
MOL.exe.unpack.bak
3. Use HxD edit unpack file (only exe) then change value 76 4E 6F 69 to 00 00 00 00 (mine
was 10 times)
4. delete original file then rename unpack and bak file same as orignal file. It should be
FATAL_FRAME_MOL and FATAL FRAME.exe.bak
5. Launch the game enjoy!!

Tried this, game doesn't work anymore.

Could someone please upload an .exe and see if that works?

EDIT: Whatever happened that makes the game not work anymore, seems to persist after I reinstalled the game via Steam. Yea, I got no idea...

You don't have to reinstall the game you can just verify and it work again. What steamless you use and what hxd editor you use?

Thanks.

I tried something in the meantime tho, I reinstalled the game on another drive, and well...this is stupidly odd.

It worked the first time I installed it, I then closed the game, and now it doesn't open again, same issue, crashes when starting.

[C.C. 折オリ枝 の 夫]

Ok, this is weird a f.

So, if I start the game from Steam Library, it works everytime, however, if I right click on Steam icon and try to start the game from there, it crashes every time. So I guess I found the issue...somewhat.

Anyway, it does work with the exe from you, thank you.

There's a binary edit you can perform to remove the Film Grain entirely. I haven't tested this myself yet, but other folks have referenced it already. Do at your own risk though, because if you don't know how to use a hex editor, you might mess something up.

1) Open FATAL_FRAME_MOL.exe with HxD (a hex editor)
2) Search for the following bytes: 76 4E 6F 69
3) And replace them with: 00 00 00 00
Note: This sequence of bytes may occur 7 times, and will need to be replaced each time.

More Info (the same edit from MOBW applies to MOTLE): https://www.reddit.com/r/widescreengamingforum/comments/qj1wbg/fatal_frame_maiden_of_black_water_ultrawide_fix/

Doesn't work for me. For one, I have this string 10 times in my binary, and replacing them results in Application load error. So please don't spread false information.

There's a ton of people who have this working. Feel free to look around. There may be additional steps needed too, but I'm kind of busy at the moment.

use cheat engine instead ( search the array of bytes)

Ooo, it works from a hooking application, wonderful news..

[Simon]

For those who are skeptical and want to edit the exe yourself, you can replace all instances of that array of bytes at once. In HxD, use Replace by pressing Ctrl + R, fill in the original bytes (76 4E 6F 69) and then the zero bytes (00 00 00 00) respectively, hit Replace All and done.
