HF Patch for HS2 v1.4 (mods up to 2021/01/08)
🕑 Added 2021-01-09 17:27:13 +0000 UTCAn unofficial patch for HS2 that installs the latest fan-made English translations and essential mods. It also fixes many common issues with the game.
It will allow you to load all character cards and scenes and give you countless content creation and gameplay improvements while still keeping the original, uncluttered feel of the game. All content is tested and fixed (or removed) as needed before each update, providing a stable platform for further modding.
Honey Select 2 can be split into two parts: character and scene creation tools (character maker and Studio), and a simple "pick and play" game (it can use your custom characters, but not scenes).
HF Patch does not contain the full game, paid expansions or any other pirated content. You have to buy the game and expansions separately. Check this guide on how to download and install from DMM. This version of the patch doesn't support the future Steam release of the game, check for a new version of this patch if you have it.
The base game (Honey Select 2), and by extension this patch are not suitable for minors. If you are under 18 years old you can not use this patch. The base game and this patch contain only characters of age 18 or higher. The creator of this patch is not responsible for creations of its users and prohibits any unlawful use of this software.
Downloads
This download contains the entire HF Patch and can be used offline. You have to use a torrent client to open the magnet link (qBittorrent is recommended, only use one link).

Read before installing
If you need any help, check the wiki, visit the Illusion Soft Discord server and ask in the #hs2-help channel, or ask in comments under this post. The #hs2-help channel is the fastest way to get help, you can even search it for your issue to see if someone already answered it. There are also chat and card sharing channels on the server!
To keep the download size reasonable, some of the less used mods are not included (mostly studio-only mods). To download them you can use the KKManager mod updater - run it at the end of HF Patch or from the game's launcher.
You can see the source code here and information about included plugins here.
Solutions to common issues
- If you get a "This patch is inside of the game directory" or "Path too long" error, move the patch files to a folder like "D:\HFP\" and try again.
- If you get a "Different game is detected" error, make sure this is the correct patch for your game. HS2 in the title means that this patch is for HoneySelect2.
- If after installing the patch you have issues running the game, restart your PC and try to install the patch again with default settings.
- If after installing the patch Studio hangs when loading, start KKManager (it's in a folder in game directory) and click "Look for updates" at the top, then tell it to update the Studio modpack.
- If you have trouble downloading by using the magnet link, try updating your torrent client or use the latest qBittorrent (it's known to work well).
- Make sure you downloaded ALL parts to the same folder and that the parts all have the same name. You need ALL parts for the patch to work. If the installer asks you for another disc it means that your download was not extracted correctly and is missing files, or you renamed or removed some of the extracted files.
- If you see any messages about corrupted files you'll have to re-download the offending part (or all of the parts). If you downloaded the torrent, most torrent clients can "force recheck" the downloaded files so you don't have to re-download the whole thing.
- If your antivirus is flagging the .exe file make sure that you've downloaded the patch by following links in this post. If you are sure the download came from the right place, it's most likely a false positive (it's a common issue with non-signed application installers).

If you get a warning when loading a card, run modpack update from launcher, select only base modpack.

Just a note for anybody having trouble with a "Failed to load Mono" message. For me it was an overly protective virus checker and I have to restore the files from quarantine.
ManlyMarco
Can you send me your output_log.txt file? (after the issue happens) You can use Message to send the log file to me here, or PM me on discord.

I'm Japanese, so English is Google's translation. There is an actual image of the map screen, do you want to check it? In that case, what should I do?

The VR I'm using is the latest version of "vive". There is no problem in starting, but the MAP selection is not displayed normally, and the screen remains white even if I start it as it is.
ManlyMarco
Thanks for reporting, I'll check it later. Make sure you have the latest version of the VR module.
ManlyMarco
Sounds like you hit the DRM that strips features unless it sees a properly installed AI-Shyouyjo. Ask on the discord server for solutions, I can't include any workarounds in the patch.
ManlyMarco
Everything in the changelog other than the Sideloader Modpack is not covered by KKManager and has to be updated manually or with the patch.

It seems that VR cannot be used after updating. The display is abnormal on the map selection screen.

Hey, animations from Studio are missing after running the patch. All bar the T-pose from the first set of Character animations are gone. Any advice on getting them back or what could have gone wrong? Thanks.
