Sort of, it seems perfectly playable but other than shadows, equipped items and dialog portraits character sprites don't show up for me.I haven't gotten around to installing WoW for the windows 7 port of dx12 that it should include so it might work better for you if you have done that.

world of warcraft uses a version of dx12 that microsoft put out so that they wouldn't need to develop for older versions of directx, im sure the microsoft website somewhere has it for download, but for most people with world of warcraft its easy to just grab the dlls (d3d12.dll , d3dcompiler_47.dll , and dxilconv7.dll) and just dump it into the folder where the games .exe file is https://prnt.sc/22n9876 https://anonfiles.com/veD5d306v1/World_of_Warcraft_rar personally i wouldn't choose to trust random dlls on the internet, but downloading wow is free if you want to get the dlls in a non third party way

shrug maybe you need to update your video drivers? im on win7, but i never tried to launch the game without the dlls like the other guy did
im using a 1080, with the latest drivers availiable for 7 (472.12)

Many games only list win 10 but most of them also works in windows 7 so you should try it anyway.

I wonder what would happen if all just ditched future windows and stuck to win7?
Maybe windows would actually create an operative system that is similar to 7 and beats it? If only I had thought of this earlier!
Edit: I am aware that I can come out as a troll or insincere in my way of typing, sorry about that, I am however not trolling. I have win 10 now and win7 was easily the best, mostly for the search engine it had.

Seems like there is also another "bug".
I sleep in 30 Winter at Year 9 then the game instantly freezes.

Maybe it's similar to 10 million money bug where the game freezes whenever you shop in either grocery/flower shop/Arthur's shop/Raven's shop once your money is over 10 million.

I suspect this bug is when I reach Year 10.
It was supposed to be in Year 4 if I exclude 5 Years skip after having a child and 1 Year skip after finishing Arc 2.

im glad just beat rf5 story today ^_^
now i wanna share some tips for ppl that got black screen issues

spec for the test intel hd 4000 i7 3770 (cuz i have rx 570 on my pc, i w doing test only till finished tutorial so idk maybe u ll get problem in later story).

i think the problem heres my igpus opengl version outdated, so i tried using mesa3d for using vulkan over opengl, and thats works, i got 25-30fps.^_^

Get the MSVC Release package. Then, all you need is to copy OPENGL32.DLL, LIBGLAPI.DLL and LIBGALLIUM_WGL.DLL to rf4s folder link: (https://github.com/pal1000/mesa-dist-win/releases/tag/22.0.1) size 100mb+.

open notepad and paste this code
REM Use Vulkan backend
set GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink
REM Play
RF4S.exe

save the file in exe folder as RF4S.bat run the bat file and enjoy ^_^

So if any of you ever decides to play past-Year 9, I wish your luck to get over Year 10 bug. That's it if you ever reach Year 4 with Arc 2 finished and after childbirth which skips you 6 years.

Sorry for the rant...since I can't continue playing anymore as the game will freeze once I reach Year 10. 2 months straight I put into this game will be in vain...

Someone keeps telling me to install older PLAZA version to "fix" the bug but I still COULDN'T find WHICH file. If it means update file, it keeps FAILING to install even if I have 6+GB space left. Tried that Torrent link but the result is still the same.

Hope you guys won't end up regretting like me.

RF5 will have homosexual marriages for the US version, which is why the japanese version is out and the US version is delayed (PS, if you've played the japanese version of RF5 on an emulator, the wolf girl makes weird baby noises)

Cannot update and got this error:
Bundle\bundleMain.mbundle Hash sum mismatch! Required MD5: 465964240

Guess if I can't fix this, I have to say goodbye....I still have 10 in-game days left before Year 10.

There is no workaround to get over this bug. Unlike 10 million bug which can be temporarily fixed by avoid making money over 10 million.

If I ever have regrets, it's:
-haven't fully finished Sharance Maze
-haven't maxed Emery Flower
-haven't tamed every boss, especially each Native Dragon.

I never had that problem, but ... the game has other bugs, for example, if you exceed 10 million gold and try to buy in any store, the game will freeze. The game also freezes if you quickly scroll the skill list from bottom to top using the keyboard controls.
The worst thing is that the developers have not yet released a patch to fix this.

Edit:
After doing several tests, I would like to confirm that this version 17.12.2021 is the one that gives the error of freezing after exceeding 10 million... the previous version of "plaza" that needs to be installed does not give this error... I do not know if this is a bug from the developer or the crackers, in any case, if someone exceeds 10 million, you must use the version prior to this one to continue playing without this bug.

Just download the plaza version, they put the plaza version back to download.

You can also delete that version once you install the plaza version, the save games are not saved in the game folder.

the dlls are for windows 7 ... so it must be different problem than missing sprites from windows 7

have you tried making sure your .net framework is updated? checking your graphics setting and making sure your drivers are up to date?
have you made sure visual c++ stuff is all installed?
it seems that others are reporting other odd issues on the support page on steam so maybe there will be a patch later?

Worthless devs get with the times, give us a milf character to marry already after all the games and demand, big mommy milkers, have you learned nothing from Resident Evil Village? At least we got dual audio switching choice, that's a big plus.
