I fully downloaded the full 13Gb game. I then unpacked it using WinRar, creating a new directory. I tried both making it as anew folder in Downloads, then moving it to C:Games/ and got errors in either place. I tried unpacking it directly to a C:HaremHotel new folder to see if that would work. Nope.
I then deleted everything, downloaded the full zipped file for a second time, and tried repeating the steps. Same problem.
I didn't try to load any older savegames as I have a different computer Vs the one I used when I played in the past. I tried playing the game from a new game various times. Sometimes I'd get an error within the first conversation, rollbacking or ignoring or continuing gave the same responses, sometimes itd let me play for a few more seconds before giving another error. It only crashed to desktop each 3 errors or so.
I even tied playing or skipping intro. Playing fullscreen or windowed, running as administrator etc
I'm stumped. I assumed downloading it a second time would fix the issue. Using my internet speed it took a good couple of hours, only to be met with disappointment again.
Could it really have been a corrupted download twice in a row?
