I don't know if you guys firgured it out already, but here we go anyway...
If you use the crack files of the first release by 3dm (3dmConfig.ini, InstallScrit.vdf, steam_api.dll, SteamConfig.ini), the version 1.3.1 works just fine, just tested it and cleared the first boss without crashing. Hope it helps...

Actually i have to confess i always thought this game didn't need any kind of crack and was just a normal exe and its files copy pasted from any legit copy's folder.
Avatar
Mr. X
Can confirm this method is working. Just the steam_api.dll file is enough, got past the first boss and got Dominique afterwards. The cracked steam_api.dll from version 1.2 can be used as well for those that no longer has version 1.1 since it should be the same regardless of which version.

I did copy version 1.2.2 into the 1.3.1 folder at one point but I guess moving all of the files must have canceled something out.

Version 1.3.1 first boss crash is widespread issue as well with other cracked sites, issue is most likely a bad crack. Need to wait for a crack fix or a game update entirely.

Already found them. Well, not really but i just had to paste everything in the folder from the previous update to the latest one without overwriting and without having launched the update once (in order for it to not create the save because then we would NEED to overwrite, and, you know, we don't know which files are the ones containing the save lol). Not sure if i explain myself?
Anyways, that's not relevant anymore, since i am experiencing the stage clear/boss defeat bug where the game closes just like that.

Yeah, I did the same thing. I did it once without replacing everything, and once replacing the files, and neither worked. I didn't mention it because the boss crash canceled out those other problems.
Still looking for those files though. Normally they would be in your AppData folder in your C: drive under a Developers name (INTI CREATES CO., LTD.). I'm seeing all my other game saves but this game.

It should have. I mean. It worked for me...
Here's what you do:
1-Copy all inside the game's folder. Everything. Folders and files ( ver. 1.1.1)
2-Paste on folder of game ver 1.3.1
3-Replace files with the same name? Choose: No
Edit: Now that i remember, there are some assorted files next to the game.exe. If i had to fathom a guess i'd bet THOSE are the saves. (Maybe you just have one weird named file with a weird extension. I have several because i've used multiple save slots).
I can't check right now, but will do as soon as i can and tell you.

boss revenge mode is trash, and randomizer is broken as fuck.
greta mian game.
they got a killing on kikstarter, mate.
they fucked up the money, and it shows - and the switch port is the main source of the issues.
Iga isn't a very good dev. the game looks liek a shitty middling indie startup made it. that's not really fair to ppl that xpected a legacy to SOTN.
at least he didnt flip the friggin castleto double playtime.

I mean, the game is suppose to be a spiritual successor to Symphony of the Night. All the hairs, clothing, accessories and customization in general were a bonus, we didn't have that in SotN and we sure as hell wasn't expecting it to be here, but that's not the main focus of the game.
The gameplay is tight, the level design (from a gameplay point, not an aesthetic one) is amongst the best metroidvanias from the latest years, and we know we would never have gotten a new Castlevania-like game from Konami, no matter how much we asked them for it. I can't say anything about the boss revenge mode cause I didn't play it, but again, that's just a bonus.
Your main complaints seem to be about aesthetic stuff and the bonus stuff. And altough I agree the visuals aren't exactly stunning, I don't think they suck ass as much as you say, but that's a matter of taste, so you're free to dislike it as much as you want and no one has the right to tell you you're wrong about that, cause that's subjective. But if you really think it looks like a shitty indie startup made it, just browse the first page in Gamejolt and you'll get an idea of the general level of design of beginner indie developers. So I don't think most of your complaints are that valid, cause remember, most of us were expecting Bloodstained to just be Symphony of the Night 2, and we would be happy with just that, yet Iga put a lot more extra stuff on the game, like customizations, side-objectives, multiple characters and gamemodes, and stuff like that. I'd be more than happy if more companies were as thoughtful as Iga is being with fans of the game long after the game has been sold, even releasing fucken FREE DLCs.
So in the end, I'd rather 100 times support Iga and his team than companies like EA or Rockstar who just release recycled garbage or downright the same fucking game time and time again.
But it's a free world. Too bad you weren't able to enjoy the game, especially with you being a backer :\

I like the gameplay, the "not telling you where items are" is supposed to make you feel good when you find it (at least imo), the filler content I mostly just ignore, they ARE filler content after all. Overall one of the better Metroidvania I played in recent years. Though I do agree that the aesthetics looks kinda dogshit, at least it's an improvement from the first trailer they show.

I mean, have you played SotN? There were literally people calling each other liars back in the day when they said the castle could be flipped upside down, because half of the people who played it never figured out there was something like that. Not to mention stuff like the ghost lady in the confessionary, which to this day I don't know what the purpose of that is.
I know that one flaw doesn't justify the other, but the thing is that SotN had this exact same flaw, but it is still considered one of the best games ever made.

Idk I guess that's subjective and I can't speak on the Kickstarter stuff since I never backed this game, I just bought it and I liked it. Maybe it's cause you're a backer that you see it differently. I didn't look into all of that, I just liked the first one and got my time out of it, which I imagine most people here would say. So maybe you have a point and maybe you don't. The way I see it is that none of that matters here since we're pirating the game anyways, so oh wells. You should make all that a point of reference on their kickstarter page and on Steam if it irks you that much.

I mean, sure, he mismanaged the kickstarter(It was probably his first all things considered) but lackluster content? What about ROTN was lackluster? It was a fantastic game, much better than any recent Castlevania Capcom delivered. And what content was not delivered? To my knowledge all the promised content for ROTN came out already unless i'm missing something. Also the Iga's Backpack DLC wasn't just fighting him, it had other content. Content that the backers paid extra for so it couldn't be released for free. Not to mention all the stuff that WAS released for free. As for the Switch port it most definitely was NOT crappy. It had some issues at first like every port for the Switch does(Even A Hat In Time had issues with it's port) but said issues were quickly fixed. I honestly don't think there is any reason to complain about Iga

capcom ) the makers of megaman, not castlevania mind you ) had direction and quality control.
and a bank account ot make sure the games were good.
if they didnt make good games in the past, nobody would give a crap about them now.
KOnami is in the same boat. If they made garbage on the past, bobody would care.
t
if you showed bloodstained ROTN to a person that didnt know castlevania, or Iga, they would assume it's an apple arcade game made by chinese ppl.
it looks liek shit dude, lie toyourself if you want.
outside of level 1* ( the pirate ship, which was a great way to sell backing ) , the game looks liek total rubbish

How the game looks is up to personal interpretation and opinion. I personally think the game looks fantastic and all the enemies and bosses fit right in. It plays well, looks good and was a damn good spiritual successor to Castlevania. Also don't assume to know what people would assume. It's quite possible that people would think that it's a damn impressive looking Indie game, which is exactly what it is. It's not Castlevania nor should it be Castlevania

i mean fair enough, not tryign to strawman the opijion on if game looks quality enough. imo, it doesn't. the gameplay doesnt stack up, it;s incredibly easy ( try boss rush, I can clear all 3 difficulties in undera minute flat )
that's not the mark of a castlevania game. the retro ones are balls hard, and have tons of replayability int h form of killing. recuing ppl and the nightmare modes mix it up.
ROTN doesnt even do THAT.
one play through, and then go fuck yourself.
NG+ makes the game even easier than it already was, which is kinda sad.

Just wondering, what metroidvanias would you say are greater than ROTN?

greater? Hollow knight, Super Metroid, Sundered ( that's a persona preference due to it's unique artstyle ) bunch more than that, i just find bloodstained to be very generic. art style is all pver the place, enemues and charactr are celshaded, withnon celshaded backdrops, it looks bloody awful, Except level 1 which is cel shaded... just not the rest of the game.

after super metroid, didn't really gel with the series.
I played prime 1, and 2. bought 3 ( never finished it ) just doesn't have the same charm it used to. also i played super metroid so much i can pound out a randomized run in about 3 hours.

yeah thats the one where all you do is hunt metroids instead of creative room filling bosses, ight/
idc who makes it lol, it sounds boring as fuck.
I liek super metroid for the insane levels and boss designs/names.
oh look metroid gamma, alpha, omega, thy really broke the think tank on that game lol.
andAM2R is the better verison, i know. but it's still an iobjectively terribel entry, imo.
right p there with federation force, and Other M

dude theres not only metroids theres other bosses too and events that never happened
and a lot of shit that you dont see in the gameboy version
honestly you are missing a masterpiece made by one person

that because the retro ones you dont grind to get stronger
meanwhile rotn once you get certain shards, everything is a walk in the park including the superboss fight with iga
but since this is a UE4 game i wont be surprised if theres some mod who push the difficulty to the dark souls levels

i never downloaded any mods, as you can see from the nexus site most of them are stuff that make things more easy like cheating mods and neither this, hard and nightmare mode are already a very punishing difficulty

The retro ones, yes. But ROTN isn't styled after the retro ones, that's Curse Of The Moon 1 and 2(Especially 2, i keep hearing COTM 2 is Castlevania 2 levels of difficulty). ROTN is styled after the metroidvanias like Symphony Of The Night and the ones that came after it which were significantly easier than the retro ones but had a much greater emphasis on exploring

Of course you don't, it would be a job rather suited for Captain Obvious.
Just as it would also be his job to explain that in the world there are wrong things. There is wrong, there is right. It's just life. It's that simple.
No need for me to clarify to you, i suppose right?

This version of the game (1.1.0.) is busted and might as well be deleted. Save yourself the time for the download, guys. It's unplayable because of constant microstutter.
Crack and upload version 1.1.1. plz!

I have tested this version an hour ago, it's 1.1.0. There is constant hickups while playing and it's widespread with version 1.1.0. Update 1.1.1. solves this.
Update 1.1.1. is already cracked but not yet uploaded on IGG
