Hey everyone, I've made a patch that allows you to downgrade your files from the current Steam release of the game to the EGS 1.0.0.8 version so you can install this mod. I've also included the correct version of LuaBackend with it, because no other version I could find online right now worked. I also made this video demonstrating how to use the patch and install Critical Mix Plus correctly after patching.
Just followed this guide and was able to get the mod working on Steam Deck. After verifying everything works fine on windows. Here are the final steps after you copy it to a ssd/flash drive and mounting it on your steam deck. 1. In Steam Deck desktop mode copy the finished folder over to your Steam Deck internal drive 2. Rename DBGHELP.DLL to DINPUT8.DLL in the installed location 3. Add the game as a non-steam game. 4. Go through the /home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/*numbers that correspond to the most recently added game*/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX/*add your stuff from 'copy contents to Documents' folder* This is the equivalent of my documents in normal windows. 5. Under Launch options add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% 6. Under compatibility in Steam make sure you are using Proton9 or newer. 7. At this point the game will launch but it will crash after the opening FMV cutscene when you gain control of Sora. This is a known issue with this version of the EGS version of the game. The only fix is to go to your install location and go to Epic/EN and either rename or delete the KH1Movie folder 8. Enjoy. Works in both desktop mode and game mode now when launching.
So uh, be careful with your kinetic step, folks. Softlocked as shadow Sora in Hollow Bastion because I jumped past a gate instead of lowering it. Also, how to glide now? I can only guard or kinetic step.
Ok I managed to get cripts running on the epic version thanks to the google drive files posted by user IYukitoI I am still trying to get the patches working but progress is progress
Edit: Nevermind it worked, just put the critical mix cripts where in the scripts carpet of the google drive and make sure you are using the latest khpcpatch manager. Again thanks to user IYukitoI for making this possible on the epic version and thanks XendraDev for making this mods
Hey I wanted to know if anyone else was having issues with gaining the last Navi G piece in neverland. I just beat neverland but for some reason I didn't receive the piece so now I'm stuck. Is this a normal issue? or do i just need to removed the mods and hope for the best? Is there a item mod by any chance i could use to bridge the gap? Thank you,
* Update: yeah there's nothing i can do about it. i tired finding a mod to insert the navi gummi piece into my inventory, however they only worked for the epic version not the steam version of the game. so i will just have to start over...again.
I followed the video step by step, made sure no rushing or skips. even the block-games-by-firewall admin shop. made sure the LUA files were revised or even removed by some suggestive comments. the patching process went through smoothly, no issues but after all that confusing process all I get in the end is an [CDX ERROR CODE]. Tried the back up option, the LUA files and even the patch manager option. redid the patching process by backup by 3 times. nothing works. all I get is [CDX ERROR CODE] so is there like a better guide somewhere?
I have the epic games versions of the kingdom hearts games, how can I install kh1 critical mix? Is there a tutorial? Can anyone help me, I've been asking for some time now, and no one's responding or given me an answer
So with the recent update to the scripts does that means that it works on steam without having to downgrade the version or is that still a work in progress?
Question: is the Reverse/Rebirth version gone for good, or are you still working on that version? It's not the end of the world if you aren't. I'm just curious.
@GhostLordRetro I'm going to be building a riku mechanic directly into critical mix itself similar to KH2 Mickey, after you meet Riku in traverse town for the first time. But he also takes all your EXP if you beat the boss with him (similar to antiform). You'll also be given the option to play as riku for the whole game.
epic 1.0.0.9 support is unknown? the versions 99% of kh gamers already have? it would make more sense to add support for epic first, since that's what most people use. hope you will add it soon.
"That's what most people use." Do you not know that a huge majority of pc gamers hate epic? I would say a good 70-80% of kingdom hearts fans (myself included) have waited to play the games on steam, which is why we never supported epic and bought them. Hell, people would rather emulate than support epic. So, given the games are on steam finally, I would say about 99% of KH gamers own it on steam now, not epic. Epic sucks, theyre parasites. No one is using the EGS versions now that the games are on steam, I don't even see the point in updating them... people who DID buy it on epic are just re-buying it again on steam because it is the superior platform, just go look at reviews lol. Buy them on steam, stop supporting one of the worst companies in the modern gaming industry
"That's what most people use." The EGS release was just a 3-year beta test done by a minuscule demographic compared to the larger ones sharing the same platform, it would be best to fully support the release that will see the largest majority of users including myself.
Will you eventually be updating it for EGS as well? I already have the full series on there and can't really afford/justify spending $110 re-buying it like the one commenter suggests 'everyone' is doing (I wasn't aware of how garbage epic was or that there was even a possibility of them coming out on Steam when I bought them)
Replying to the sticky for increased visibility: I've made a patch for the current Steam version that will let you downgrade the KH1 files to the 1.0.0.8 EGS version you can use to install Critical Mix. This video is a tutorial on how to use it, and then the proper way to install Critical Mix after patching, the link to the patch is in the description. I hope this helps people who have struggled to set this up.
Actually crazy that you neglected this mod for half a year with no replies to anyone and waited until somebody else fixed your mod for you (which is not even fixed, we still have to downgrade) and now you come back to post THEIR tutorial and sticky it... talk about lazy and incompetent
Do not use the fact that I created this patch and wanted to help people install this mod as a reason to insult or harass Xendra. That is not acceptable behavior. I don't care if you are frustrated with her for not updating the mod to work with Steam. It's not acceptable.
It's almost like the modder is working on OTHER MODS AS WELL and EVEN A GAME. Man, I can't believe they'd not update a mod that IS FOR FREE AND WAS DONE FOR FUN. /sarcasm
@RedScare1917 I appreciate the time and effort that you took creating your patch, but to be completely real and I mean no disrespect, this is Xendra's mod. So they should have done something like that themselves, not wait for someone else to do it... and if they didn't want to, or didn't know how to, then they should have just posted about it during the 8 months that have now passed. People can work on things and still take a minute to reply to something/someone. Not even one reply to anyone on here saying that this mod was still being worked on, tested, updated, nothing. But as soon as someone found a fix they came back here and posted a sticky immediately? Like, we just wanted communication. From what I've seen Xendra kinda has a history of not finishing their projects so if this mod is abandoned just say so? Or at least upload the code for other modders to take over if they don't want to work on it anymore. Also, like I said I do appreciate your patch but it still doesn't actually fix anything for steam users... from what I understand you're basically playing a cracked epic version of the game which means you're not actually using your steam copy, which means you're not clocking hours and can't even unlock steam achievements so it's kinda pointless if you wanna play it on steam.... which is kinda what everyone wanted lol :(
You can't unlock achievements with the fix? That kind of ruins the fun of it. Does anyone know why it doesn't work maybe he can share the source code so someone else can actually fix it. It would be nice to also get achievements
@kokirichild616 There's a big difference between expecting communication and demanding communication, and the AAA industry has blown the instant gratification part of your brain to the point where you are insulting a genuine artist for volunteering "too incompetently" because he let someone else contribute. And how dare he be so unresponsive? Does he not consider the time I have to make to consume what he puts his hard work to?
You're what's wrong with the community. You don't have a single mod, or even constructive contribution to anything nexus mods related in your profile, but I'd loooove to see any of your work to any part of the gaming industry in general. Are you an actual, professional critic on Youtube? 3D Artist? Content writer? Or do you have any other username you go by where you actually have something online? Cuz yours don't seem to be pulling much up...
But yet you consume the literal donations that these genuine fanatics, who sacrifice their unpaid work to create the framework of an inarguably impressive mod and have the gall to call him lazy and incompetent? Do you not see the irony in your apathetic, horseshit, self-unaware logic?
And even then, you still b&@*$ about playing a different version of the literal same game. "It's what everyone wanted :( to clock in hours in the game. Not to play the mod, nooooooo!!!! It's the hours and the achievements that you can already accomplish in the f*#@ing vanilla version which is still a genuine masterpiece worthy of doing so... Is this modder stupid? :(((("
Has the planned playable Riku been implemented yet? The mod looks fantastic, but I'm wanting to wait until I can do a Riku run (the previous Reverse/Rebirth version continuously crashed my game)
Is the pcpatchmanager version just like the stripped bare version? I got it working on my Steam khfm game, but it’s missing a lot of features. It changed the title screen and Sora’s base moveset, but the camera isn’t fixed, the new modes aren’t available and Sora doesn’t start out with block or dodge roll.
