Yarimono: How To Install the Patch

This is a guide on how to install the Yarimono patches for both the base game and DLC.

 

Download

Open the publisher’s official website by selecting the Visit the website link from the the Yarimono store in Steam. Links are also provided below.

Select Adult.

Select Patches at the top.

Search for “Yarimono” on the page (Ctrl + F) or scroll until you see it. You will need an account to get these patches so make one now if you don’t have one already.

Patch Links

Click on the patch, select Buy Now on the right, then complete the checkout. You will not have to enter any payment information since they are free patches. After checkout is complete, the patches will now be available for download in your Game Library. Select the download icon at the bottom right of the patch to bring up download options. Download from the source of your choice.

Unblock

After the .zip file has finished downloading, right-click on it and select Properties. At the bottom, you may see a Security section with some text and a checkbox that says Unblock.

If you do, check the Unblock box, then select OK or Apply and close the Properties window. While blocked files aren’t guaranteed to cause problems, they can cause unexpected issues.

Extract

Right-click on the .zip file once more and this time select Extract All. If you have a separate .zip manager, such as 7-Zip, you can also extract the files using that if you prefer.

A window will pop up asking you to choose where you want to extract the files. If you leave the path as-is, it will exact the files to the same directory where the .zip file is located. With the desired path entered, select Extract at the bottom. This may take a few minutes to complete.

Install

First, you’ll need to open up the game’s install folder so you can copy the patch files. Within your Steam Library, locate Yarimono, right-click on it, then select Manage | Browse local files. This will open a separate window with the game’s files. Leave the window open to the side.

In the patch files you extracted in the previous section, drill down into the folders until you see the contents. Right-click on the folder named data, then select Copy. Paste that folder into the game’s folder you just opened.

Since the patch files contain modified versions of the game’s existing files, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Select Replace the files in the destination and wait for the copy to complete.

Patch Complete

DLC Patch

The steps for installing the DLC patch are identical. Simply start from the beginning with the DLC’s unique files.
