It’s finally here! I have completed all that I currently can with the game and I have released what I consider version 1 of .hack//Link.
There are still untranslated parts of the game, but they are mostly generic statements that have no bearing on the story. All story elements are complete. In the future if I can complete this, I will certainly try, but for now, I am considering it complete.
I have discovered what I believe to be the cause of the freezing error. From now on, the game should not freeze for you, but if it does, please let me know where it happens and I’ll do my best to correct it.
I will be stopping work on .hack//Link in order to concentrate on doing .hack//Bullet, the Kite novel, Guilty Dragon and New World. I have decided that I will NOT be doing a Let’s Play of the game. The game is long and I have many other things to do. But if someone else would like to do an English-language commentary Let’s Play of the game, I would gladly watch it.
If you find any spelling or grammar errors, or text that goes offscreen, or if you find any more freezing issues, let me know and I’ll find the error and fix it, but I will not be proactively seeking out these issues. I have spent several years on this project and I would like a break from it. I love .hack, but I can only read the same lines over so many times.
So, with that, please enjoy .hack//Link!

A README would be nice.

Also the script does not run correctly unless you delete the “data” directory packaged in the patch zip file

The data folder is included for those who have not previously extracted an ISO. It has to be filled with data from an extracted ISO for the patch to work. You get errors if the folder is left empty. It’s not meant to be deleted.

The install guide is on the download page. Please read it there.

I currently have no plans for .hack//VERSUS. I would like to concentrate on the novels. Someday I may do VERSUS, but only after I finish much of the other content.

Congratulations! I’ve already played it with a previous patch before, but I was waiting for this project to be completed to replay it. Hopefully this will encourage more people to try LINK, that in my opinion receives A LOT more hate than it really deserves. I appreciate all your hard work. Without this project I could have never been able to enjoy the story of Tokyo, Saika, Aika and Fluegel.
Looking forward to the next chapters of Bullet.

The freezing issue still occurs for everyone. Some freezing issues have been fixed but others remain.

Dunno about anyone else, but when I try to open up BlackRose’s second mail with the subject “Increased” (the one after the initial greetings), it freezes when I try to reply. The game also freezes when I attempt to try and access any of the F-Skits.

Yeah, the F-Skits don’t work right. Not sure why.
You’ll just have to use the disc swap technique.
