Troubleshooting

You must obtain clean, unmodified and complete data to proceed with our guides

Corrupted or incomplete files will cause unpredictable issues we can't cover.
TWO-TORIAL does not provide or distribute game data. Do not ask.

My game crashes on launch/stuck on "Starting System Process"

Could be due to many things, the most common of which are:

  • amdaemon crashing in the background. Make sure that the config_*.json files have valid syntax, your ICF files are correct.
Capturing logs from amdaemon for troubleshooting

To assist with troubleshooting, a script can be used to capture logs from amdaemon. Create a file named amdaemontest.bat in App\bin, then paste the code block below into the file.

@echo off
cls
echo Attempting to run AM Daemon ...
echo Window should close after 30 seconds
echo Log will be generated at amdaemontest.txt
call :sub >amdaemontest.txt
exit /b

:sub
pushd %~dp0
start /b "AM Daemon" /min inject -d -k mai2hook.dll amdaemon.exe -f -c config_common.json config_server.json
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 31 > nul && taskkill /F /im amdaemon.exe

Double-click it to run. The script should run for 30 seconds, and you will get a file named amdaemontest.txt in App\bin, which you can send to help people troubleshoot your issue.

My game is stuck on a black screen at launch!

This could also be due to many things, the most common of which are:

  • You have one or more incorrect/broken DLL(s) in App\Package\Sinmai_Data\Managed

    This is likely to be Assembly-CSharp.dll, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll, and/or AMDaemon.NET.dll. You can try replacing the DLLs or re-downloading data from elsewhere.

  • An ill-formed keychip is defined in segatools.ini

My game is stuck on a blue and black screen!

You need to run the data using unprotected/unpacked files. Please refer to the setup guide to find which ones you need and obtain them.

If you believe you've already done this. You might be missing a try installing the latest vcredist

My game is running too slow/fast or the notes are out of sync!

The game could be running under or over its required refresh rate.

  • Make sure V-Sync isn't disabled in your graphics settings (called "Vertical sync" in NVIDIA Control Panel and "Wait for Vertical Refresh" in AMD Control Panel.)
  • Limit Sinmai.exe to run at 60 FPS using a tool like RivaTuner or a patch.

It could also be that your computer's performance isn't good enough to keep a steady framerate.
