|| Q&A

Q. Corpse Party doesn't start and crashes with an error after the title screen.

A. Copy the files from the DVD-ROM to your hard drive, then start it.

A. If you tried applying an update patch and the game is crashing, it may have failed.
Make sure to copy and paste the contents of the patch.


Q. The graphics are disorganized from the title and do not display properly.

A. You may or may not have an unsupported GPU installed.
In particular, GPUs made by S3Graphics do not display the game well.
Computers that have S3Graphics GPUs pre-installed are as follows:

Sharp Mebius Laptops
PC-CB1 Series

NEC Laptops
LaVie NX Series

Unfortunately, we are not able to support the systems listed above,
we apologize for the inconvenience.

Q. Performance is really slow.

A. Open config.exe and change the framerate to "30 fps".
This will skip frames and reduce processing.

|| Translation***************************************************

Translation by XSEED
Adaptation by Jailhouse Games

Unfortunately, due to the nature of how the program was assembled,
Chapter 4 has lost its opening movie.

Despite the commands, graphics, and everything else being entirely correct,
the program refuses to load the opening movie for reasons not yet fully understood.
For the sake of keeping the game playable, the movie has been removed.
As a workaround, all credits have been reworked into the opening's events
with a custom BGM track to accompany the "Chapter 4" text graphic.

Perhaps at some point, an alternative solution will present itself.
For now though, this is the best that can be done.
