[SOLVED] Omerta - Weird problem installing and running on Windows 8.

Hey Guys. I have googled, gone through so many posts and I haven't seen some of the issues I have posted.
So in short.. I have tried everything that I have read.. I'm sure I forgot things to add in this description
-Locale & Region set to Japan, Installed with Daemon Tools.
-I've downloaded and installed different Omerta downloads to see if that was the issue as well
-Tried various compatibility modes & running as admin
-Joined with HJsplit
-uninstalled and re-installed this game 50 times or more.
I'm ready to pull my hair out!! Please save me from going bald!

On to the problems!!

Errors I and weird problems when installing/running on Windows 8.


Ok here are the weird issues:
(not sure why post is putting a space inbetween 'noir' when I type KarinChatnoirOmega -but there is no space when it created that folder - so ignore that)

-If I try to install it as 'windows user' it installs it into a weird place :
C:\Users\Amanda\AppData\Local\Programs\KarinChatno irOMEGA\omerta
-If I run the install as Admin and choose 'Windows User' it also installs to:
C:\Users\Amanda\AppData\Local\Programs\KarinChatno irOMEGA\omerta
-If I run install as Admin & choose 'Admin' instead of 'windows user' it does install to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\KarinChatnoirOMEGA\omerta

~~Next weird issue~~
When I run the patch, it puts the "AlphaDiscLog.txt" into my C:\ (which of course gives me that [1503] AlphaDiscLog.txt error)
-No SETTEC folder is ever created in
C:\Users\Amanda\Documents\
-In order to NOT get that AlphaDiscLog.txt error when patching, I had to create that folder myself:
-C:\Users\Amanda\Documents\SETTEC\

I'll put up a link to my album so people can see what I'm talking about.

After installing the game, and with the iso still mounted, copy AlphaROM Signup Tool to the install folder of the game.

Run AlphaROM Signup Tool (I kept the window for AlphaROM open until I completed step 3).

Locate the newly created .sig file (C:\ProgramData\ASign) and rename it to alsign.sig (If the .sig file was not created you may have to run the game once to create the file: AlphaDiscLog.txt; located in C:\Users\*Current_User*\Documents\SETTEC\)

Run AlphaROM Signup Tool one more time to create another .sig file.

Cut and paste alsign.sig to install folder of the game.

Unmount the iso file.

Run the game.

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This helped so much! This same problem was frustrating me for the longest time!

Haha no problem!
At least you can stop from going bald now! :)

can you help me? i still can't find the .sig file, i found the AlphaDiscLog.txt
my error code is 1200

it's really confusing and frustating T_T

The .sig should be located in :

C:\ProgramData\ASign\
(If you installed Windows on another drive other than C:\ Then look for the ProgramData\Asign\ there)
(not program files)

If you're still having problems do a search on your driver for *.sig.

You are a legend: thankyou so much. This has been driving me up the wall-- I couldn't actually get the link from the other site to open OR your picture to display, but it looks like messing around with the .sig file has fixed it. Thankyou so so much.

Trying desperately to do this so I can help with the translation project for this, but for some reason my omerta folder "doesn't have enough space" to put the alphasignup in it. I didn't think folders could get too full if your hard drive has room?? Please help! @.@

Hello thekingloliet!

Hmm, what is the name/location of the folder where you put/installed Omerta? o.o

Mine, for example, is in C:\Games\KarinChatnoirOMEGA\omerta

Would you mind taking a screenshot of the folder, too? ^^ Thanks!

It's in PC\Desktop\omerta

And for the screenshot: Attachment 172084

Hmm, lessie... o.o

Well, you haven't installed the game yet, and if your Harddrive DOES have enough room and you're seeing an error saying there isn't enough room, I think it might be something else...

Have you actually tried installing the game yet? Via mounting the ISO, and following the installer? (And making sure you chose a DIFFERENT folder to put the game instead of the default location. For example, like my C:\Games\KarinChatnoirOMEGA\omerta\ folder??)

IF the ISO extracted fine, you may not need the individually cut RAR files so you can delete them. Don't forget to empty out your recycling bin once in a while. "Deleted" files that are in the recycling bin still take up space.

May I ask how big your harddrive is, and how much free space is there?

(Lastly, worst case scenario, I notice you have Skype. I'll be busy for the rest of today, but tomorrow I could try and assist you through Skype to install this.)
