FAQ

Running the game

• Q: I keep getting an error when I run the game - I have tried both AppLocale and NTLEA. Do I really have to set my system to Japanese to run the game?
  A: Extract cm3d2_up101_x86.zip\cm3d2_up101_x86\data\* files to your game folder (yes to overwrite) and right-click CM3D2x86.exe and select select Run with Japanese locale (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options (doesn't work with Windows 10 or x64!!)).

• Q: How do I install the translations?
  A: There is a helpful picture guide here. Or use the Custom Maid 3D 2 HF Patch.

• Q: I get this error when running the HF Patch: "... The game is an earlier version. This patch requires version >1.03...", what can I do?
  A: Install the official 1.03 patch and then run the HF patch again. There are mirrors to the official patch in the CM3D2 discussion.

• Q: I get a "Daily panel" error during gameplay.
  A: Make sure that you have the official 1.03 patch installed (and it is correct version - x86 or x64) and then run the HF patch again. There are mirrors to the official patch in the CM3D2 discussion.

Installing the Game

Quick step-by-step guide

Installer.exe: Click the highlighted button to install

Insert disk 2

1. Extract cm3d2_1.iso and cm3d2_2.iso (DO NOT extract the .mds files!) to e.g. C:\Downloads\cm3d2
2. Mount C:\Downloads\cm3d2\cm3d2_1.iso with Daemontools Lite (If you have trouble using other mounting software, Daemontools Lite has been confirmed to work)
3. DO NOT autorun, but open the mounted dvd in Explorer and right-click Installer.exe and select Run with Japanese locale as administrator (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options (doesn't work with Windows 10 or x64!!)).
4. Optional: Change the install folder (default is C:\KISS).
5. Click the marked button (ref. Installer.exe picture) to start the CM3D2 setup.
6. Confirm that you want to install to that location and wait while the setup until setup asks for disk 2.
7. Mount cm3d2_2.iso and click Retry.
8. Wait for the setup to finish and close the installer.
9. Extract cm3d2_up101_x86.zip\cm3d2_up101_x86\data\* files to your game folder (yes to overwrite).
10. To run the game, simply right-click CM3D2x86.exe and select select Run with Japanese locale (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options (doesn't work with Windows 10 or x64!!)).

Updating the game

1. Download the latest full update that is meant for the version you run (most likely x86), for instance cm3d2_up103_x86.zip (1.15GB). There are mirrors to the official patch in the CM3D2 discussion.
2. Open the zip file and copy all files and folders from <cm3d2_up103_x86.zip>\cm3d2_up103_x86\data\* to the root of your CM3D2 folder. e.g. C:\KISS\CM3D2 (yes to overwrite).
3. Wait for the copy to complete.
4. To play the updated game, right-click CM3D2x86.exe and select select Run with Japanese locale (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options (doesn't work with Windows 10 or x64!!)).

If you later want to play the x64 version you should get the x64 patch (for instance cm3d2_up103_x64.zip 1.15GB) and repeat the above steps, just using the x64 update instead of x86.
