I got it to work. create a folder(on desktop is best). put all the downloaded files into that folder. open the zip file with winrar. find that folder in the right column. click "extract to". once its complete, navigate to that folder. open and run the game from within that folder. be sure to make sure that the steam version isn't running at the same time. click import when the game is at the main menu. at the top right, click on where it says change source and it should switch to the steam imports from season 2. good luck!

Can anyone help me here. I followed all the instructions. Everything is smooth with the downloaded files and winrar. When I extract here using winrar it works. But there is no extracted folder when it finishes extracting. Basically to some it up, I cant find the game file after its done extracting! Any idea?
Jayton J
downloaded and everything but my laptop is giving me a msg saying that it cant run and to speak to software publisher to find a version for my PC. im thinking it has something to do with the latest windows update but idk

Now I have finished seasons 1 and 2 of the game on windows but now I am going to play from MacOs, I downloaded the season 3 files here and the game opens. The problem is that for season 3 it asks us for a different save at the end of season 2. I transferred season 1 and season 2 game saves to mac (persistent file too). In the 3 Season game, when I pressed continue, the saves came out, but they all say “incompatible save”. I think the “Load a save from steam” part in the import section is completely empty. What do I need to do, is there a save for progress after import in a different place, please help me.
ScuBdue
I know! Seriously... this is taking SO LONG to download. I feel like I'm back in the Napster years.
ScuBdue
No kidding! PLEASE make this ONE file!
GreatOne
one download would be much appreciated instead of ten or whatever amount is up there now...

damn dude, anyway to condense these

10 part zip is ridiculous for a patch SMH. You still write a great story, but your implementation is slipping big time. Give us one zip on mega or some other platform again.
Dorian Rast
We need a bit more information on any error messages, when it might be stopping (or not starting). The issue can range from corrupted files, not have all the parts when extracting, game settings, or mods/translations. Join the discord for assistance.

I downloaded the full season3 game, unziped the file. I can't open the game. Click the BeingADIK.exe, it won't work.
Dorian Rast
"When running s3, I can import the game from s2 normally, and after skipping the interlude, and going to episode 9, I can see the summary of season 2, but when Jacob starts in ep9, the game crashes" Yes, you had a some point had mods and crashed. Even if you install clean, the mod tainted your saves and persistent data file. The only recourse is to remove them all and start fresh with a clean install. If you import a save on a clean install and it crashes, that means you are bringing over tainted import saves from S1/S2. The only recourse is to delete mods, install clean, delete saves and persistent file. The only fix is to delete your game, persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" For S1/S2 your appdata folder will have BeingADIK-xxxxx. The number differs if from Patreon, Steam, or GOG. There is no Season in the file name.

If you are getting error -5 decompression error, then one or more of your download files was corrupted. Clear your cache. Download each file one at a time. Extract with winrar or 7zip. You should not see any files with 0K in the main folder or the game subfolder.
CE
I downloaded game and extract the files. When I try to open the game it gives an error -5. Anyone know how to fix?
Dorian Rast
To fully clean on Steam, you have to make sure to disable cloudsaves as it will restore files. Also, there is a folder called AppData under your /users/loginname. It's normally hidden. Use the view options in your file explorer to view hidden files and folders. Shortcut to it is to go to the start menu and use %appdata%. Go into roaming/renpy. Delete the BeingADIK-xxx folders. The folder without "Season3" in the name is for Season1/Season2. Removing these folders will clear all the master saves and collectibles. Lastly, when you reinstall steam and when you get to the End of Season 2 with a playthrough, be sure to manually delete all the old Transfer Saves if you didn't before you uninstalled S1/S2. You want to keep only the Transfer Files from clean install/saves.
Twistedblue
Need some direction here. The game crashes after a few lines into season 3. I saw previous posts about a similar issue. I deleted the game and save files and persistent data. I had used a mod previously but I have deleted all the data. There is no option to start a new game from this download. When I go to steam, its still showing save data even though I manually have deleted everything.
Dorian Rast
you are choosing native windows extract.. you need winrar or 7zip. Right-click the .zip file and look for the winrar or 7zip symbol and the move the cursor right to expand the selection to see their Extract options. If you have winrar or 7zip installed on windows 11, you may see a "show more options" at the bottom of the menu when you first right-click. Click on that and you should now see the winrar/7zip option.
LTCRamirez
Sorry, still having the weird issue I mentioned before when I'm trying to extract and says the volume or whatever is already in use and won't extract.
Dorian Rast
You get this error when trying to launch the game with corrupted files. If you look in the "game" folder, you will see files with 0 size. Something was corrupted when you extracted. Clear your cache, download files one at a time, and check to make sure all the z0 files are the same size (the zip file is a bit smaller). Extract again on the zip file with winrar or 7zip. Double-check the "game" folder to make sure no 0 size files.

If you played episode 10 before your saves should show automatically. Download all the files, unzip using winrar or 7-zip, play. Do not put the game in a folder with any other previous game version.
Joel
How do I continue to episode 11 when i download it, do I need to add the files to another location in my PC?
DrPinkCake
Extract using either Winrar and 7-zip and it won't ask you that. Install Winrar. Right click the .zip file and choose Extract here. You should see a book symbol next to Extract here - that's winrar.
Xang
why did you do this format this is just not working for me it asks for the disk
Targonis
This is a relic from the old days, .ZIP or .RAR files that are multi-part. They were split up back in the days of dial-up, because downloading a single big file wouldn't work for most people. So, .ZIP and .RAR files would come in multiple pieces. You go to open the main file, and it will just gather from all the other pieces automatically as you extract them.
Targonis
From the main screen for season 3, you will see an "import" at the bottom. This will let you import that final save from the end of season 2. Note that for Steam, from the import(where it will show no saves), click at the top and change it to Steam for the source. That will now show your final save(s) from Steam.
Dorian Rast
If you still have your saves in Steam, from the End of Season 2 screen, you step forward one screen to the Transfer Save screen save there. When you launch Season 3, you use the IMPORT function and there is a toggle in the upper right that you change to Steam to show the Transfer files made in Steam. The only way to start playthroughs is using your Season 1/Season 2 and taking it through to the Transfer Screen.
Manny Espino
I am lost, I just recently joined the Patreon because I just finished season 1 & 2 on steam and I loved the games and I was glad to see episode 11 just finished. I downloaded season 3 today but I just now realized I needed the file from the last season. Now I don’t mind playing the first two again since I can start a new path but I’m lost on where to download the other seasons. ( or could I just import the steam version into the Patreon?

please dr helpme here, days a go, i downloaded all the files, and extract well it works. well, i upgrade may disk and i have a new windows 11, it works fine but now in download again the files and i cant extract them, the winrar says the files are corrupt, i a ready download all the files in another place but stel not working. btw sorry for my bad english
DrPinkCake
If you modified it yes, if not then you should be able to play as normal after deleting saves.
Dorian Rast
Correct, use WinRAR or 7zip on the .zip file (right-click and chose the tool you have on the context menu. It might be under show more options). The extract will automatically read from the z0 files. The end result will be the fully extracted game.
Mysterious Unknown
I have question when I download all the files do I only extract the zip file? Do the other files get automatically transfer over?
Thanasis Chrysanthopoulos
Ok i have already delete persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494.I want only one small clarification.When you say delete the game,does this mean the one i downloaded for episode 11?Like delete it and download it again?
DrPinkCake
Your mods crash the game. The only fix is to delete your game, persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494"
Thanasis Chrysanthopoulos
Downloaded and extracted the game.It opens but when i try to continue from the end of one of my previous savings,in the first scene after 4 sentences it crashes.If i use import and try to continue from there episode 9 it crashes directly.I moved in the file that i extracted episode 11 episode 10 as i have done in the past with episode 9,10 and same result.I even moved the saves from episode 10 to episode 11 saves.It doesnt work
DrPinkCake
Hi! It sounds like your "ep_interlude_images.rpa" might be damaged/corrupted. Can you unzip the game again and check that it works to unzip without errors? If it doesn't, you need to re-download the game to fix it.

Sounds like you unzipped using Windows native zip as opposed to either Winrar or 7-zip. Did you sort your issue?
GusTron
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but downloaded all files into one folder then extract and get this warning: "the same volume cannot be used as both the source and destination" NOTE: 7-zip did not work for me but WinRAR seems to be doing something.

Right click each zip file at the time and check the size on disk. For the z01-09 files it should be: 1 887 436 800 byte For the zip file it should be: 1 638 506 496 byte If you see that any of those numbers differ, that's the corrupt file that you need to redownload to get unzipping to work for you.

There does not seem to be any download links in any of those posts. ?? Status updates only from Ep 2, 6 and 8.
Kurt Luitwieler
Brilliant! Thanks! Will go try it out!
Thunder
Great update! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks, DrPinkCake!
StaubiSaugi 2000
Ah ok thanks
DrPinkCake
It means that you need to extract the .zip file with either Winrar or 7-zip, as suggested in this post. 1. Install winrar. 2. Right click the .zip file 3. Choose extract here. 4. Wait and see that no error messages pop up 5. Play the game
DrPinkCake
Just close that pop-up. Winrar is known for working without ever purchasing.

For full season 1/2 should i download the season 8 or season 9 update?
Kurt Luitwieler
Thanks. Thought that was the case.
Dorian Rast
So, Seasons 3 is standalone. You have to start with S Season 1/Season 2 from Patreon, Steam, or GOG.. You import saves from end of Season 2 into Season 3.
Kurt Luitwieler
With this full version, can I start a new game from episode 1?
Mondo
WinRAR is always free, it just nags you to pay.
StaubiSaugi 2000
the story is insane but i cant figure out how to get ep 11 winrar says 40 days test version

I remember this being a lot easier in the past episodes... it keeps saying "The same volume can't be used as a source and destination"... not sure what that means... I'm not great at computers.
K.H
Thanks Dr, it seems that I fixed the issue now
DrPinkCake
The save transfer file is located here: %AppData%/RenPy/persistent/ It's named BeingADIKBeingADIKSeason2Transfer* When you want to continue playing in Season 3 you click IMPORT from the main menu. The saves should show up. If you're trying to import Steam saves, you need to toggle the Steam save button at the top of the screen.
saumil mody
not able to find my previous saved files from season 2 what to do
Dorian Rast
extracting the .zip will automatically pull from the .z0 files. After you successfully extract, the .zip and z0 files are no longer needed. Consider backing them up just in case.

yes, you have to redo the whole game unless you have a save from before you started using mods.. i learned that the hard way but luckily for me it was only EP 7 by that point

what do I even do with all the zo files?

Same here

Dr Pink. My game is getting crashed on episode 11 beginning scene where Lana said it's my birthday. I have installed scrappy Mods till episode 10 if that is causing the crash than do I need to play whole game again without Mods? Need help!
Matt Meeker
are you using winrar or 7zip?
Matt Meeker
use 7zip instead. I couldn't get winrar to work and I spent days trying. but after downloading 7zip it worked no problem.

Yeah cuz I can not visit patreon unless I use vpn, and it is really slow so I can’t download any files from the website.
DrPinkCake
1. Download all files. 2. Make sure you have Winrar or 7-zip installed. 3. Extract the .zip file with Winrar or 7-zip by right-clicking the zip and choosing extract files. 4. Play the game.

all .z01 - .z09 files should have Size on disk: 1 887 436 800 byte the .zip file should have Size on disk: 1 638 502 400 byte

Running Win11 here. You could publish the sha1sum of every file to avoid downloading everything again in case of corruption.

I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've never had an issue until this episode when the release format was chagned. Seriously discouraging after supporting for over a year.
Tim Janke
I just let 7-zip extract it using default settings. That's how they ended up. And yeah, I moved it to my games directory. And, I already had 7-zip, it was just an older version. The text above doesn't specify a version, nor does it warn that older versions won't work.
DrPinkCake
No, this is how I distribute the game now. Can you tell me what issue you're having? Do you manage to download the files from the attachment?
DrPinkCake
Don't know why you are having that attitude tbh. We are here to help you, but complaining instead of stating your issues won't let us help you. Describe your issue and join discord and you'll get help.
DrPinkCake
Do you mean winrar or 7-zip? Both are free software, you don't have to join or pay to use them at all. Click the winrar, then the download button to the right to download it. I've been using it for God knows how many years without any issues. Then click all the attachments, unzip the zip file with winrar, and play. It's that simple.
DrPinkCake
What step isn't working? Tell me more about your problem.
DrPinkCake
The attachments are working fine on my end. Click all the files; they will start downloading automatically. If you're still facing issues, jump on Discord for live assistance.
DrPinkCake
Good that you got it sorted hungry. Wynder, if you're still having issues, we're here to help, but we need more information than that. Which step isn't working, etc. Jump on discord for live assistance.
Dorian Rast
That might be an artifact how you extracted. There are two layers because DPC wanted the Changelog to be outside of the actual game install folder. Once all is extracted and verified, you can move the install folder where you wish. Above the attachment downloads, it lists that WinRAR or 7zip is required for extraction.
Rellik6801
nope remember last time i tried that, ? trolls that dont help, when ya get mad try posting in other spots get yelled at, told post in help not here... yeah not worth the drama or time, dr. got my 10$ which was the point. Not like i am the issue, seams many having same thoughts. Big $ back for the good DR. i'll wait for a real release on mega or steam, Discord not worth the time to fight for a answer or scroll through weeks of replies etc. Be safe friend. Thank you for trying...
Pett Brenson
Have to agree with you, have never had an issue with Mega downloads over multiple games from various devs. DPK was 1st adult game dev I ever played aa game from many years ago. Had to interrupt support due to finances a couple times but have always come back.
Tim Janke
PSA: you need to use the latest version of 7-zip. I had an older version from 2019, and it just complained "is not an archive" and refused to do anything with it. When I upgraded to the latest version it extracted everything without a hitch. If you're using Windows 10, DO NOT use the Windows extract-all command from the right-click context menu, it won't work (it will just complain "the same volume cannot be used as both the source and destination" and throw errors on every file it tries to copy). I have no idea if Windows 11 has the same problem. This could be because the file hierarchy inside BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin.zip is: [BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin] [BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin] [BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin] [game] [lib] [renpy] BeingADIK.exe BeingADIK.py BeingADIK.sh BeingADIK-32.exe icon.png Changelog.txt (I've enclosed folder names in brackets [] for clarity). In other words, the folder [BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin] is included three times. Can't say if this was intentional... but regardless, the game runs! Enjoy, maggots!

Join discord if you want assistance download and extracting the archive
Jack W
Hey doc, any chance you upload the files to some cloud drive like before? I really have difficulty downloading files from patreon directly. Thank you
Rellik6801
nope it wont i never see the files you show list downloaded file names, no box ergo file winraw installed now but no clue how 2 make it work.
Rellik6801
never had the errors with mega.. just saying. Dr. but both those you linked want me to join to use... wasted my time trying the 2 you linked want me to buy to use or join there spam lists.
Lucas Hays
im trying to download the game for the first time and it wont work. help me
Jarred Lewis
not able to download anything. guess ill just have to wait till its released on steam smh
hungry4u
finally figured it out by patching the game instead
Wynder
Same here. Just an epic clusterfuck.
hungry4u
this sucks man i waited over a year just to run into this issue. ive tried everything multiple times and yes i tried winrar and 7zip. i literally cant get the game
DrPinkCake
That means that your download was corrupted. Delete the files and download again. And FYI, this error can happen just as easily with the other method.
DrPinkCake
Use Winrar or 7-zip and it will work.
Chris Gilmore
The same volume can not be used as both the source and destination.
Kaiden1942
Tried both 7Zip and Winrar but files keep having errors. Don't get why we can't just stick to the old way of using Mega or google download. Getting Error Missing Ep 10 images.rpa finished unzip file won't launch at all. Update - I was able to finally get it to work after downloading all the files 3-4 times each until they finally able to unzip correctly without data errors. This is incredibly frustrating to do if all future releases are gonna be like this. It wasn't even a matter of using 7zip or Winrar it was how the files downloaded which is a roll of the dice every time.
X_Gr
I could not get it to play as well after downloading it, but if you copy/paste your game folder into your C:/, it works. If it is in a folder on your desktop or anywhere else, it won't—at least for me!
DrPinkCake
Your mods crash the game. The only fix is to delete your game, persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494"
David Sammons
Mine plays, but abruptly stops during the first converations
Eric Ho
For those using win11, please right click -> show more options -> 7zip -> extract here or to where you like.
DrPinkCake
No. You follow the steps above.
DrPinkCake
1. Download the files from the attachments. 10 files with z01-09, and a .zip file. 2. Install either winrar or 7-zip 3. Right click the .zip file you downloaded from here and choose extract files. 4. Play
Greg Brown
Used 7Zip and it unpacked fine. Those of you having issues should probably delete the downloads and start over, one-by-one.. Packets can get screwy if you download multiples at a time. That being said... OMFG!!!! I'm not even through the first of what will probably be a hundred PT's on this episode, but.... OMFG!!! The story, the renders, the lighting.. Sage with her hair down... Masterful, DPC.. Just masterful. I'm soooo glad I didn't see this post last night, as I would've been up with a bottle of wine, a cigar and this addiction all damn night. Chef's kiss, my man.
Marko
I guess there's no "one link only" way to download anymore?
Fonz
yea i cant figure this out
B33k3R
this is not working for me,wont install on drive c so i went for drive d and is ask for file 1 or somthing i dont know,cant i just patch my existing game as thats alot easier. OMG it worked it wasnt user errore it was winrar honst!
Александр
Reinstalled the game, now the game starts, but almost immediately crashes at the same place
T-Rex4
i personally think this method for downloading works way better, and seems to take less time compared to a mega (etc) download. looking forwards to playing a bit after i get home from the gym. awesome work DPC
DrPinkCake
Hi! Did the extraction go well? Check your "game" folder to see if the files don't have 0 kb in size or something weird like that. You can come to my discord server for live assistance.
Александр
downloaded the full version, unpacked winrar, deleted the downloaded files. the game does not start
DrPinkCake
No. They are just data containers used by the .zip file to unzip. After you have extracted the game, you can either delete the zip and z01-9 files or store all of them at another location.
Jefley
Do I need to put the z01,z02 (and so on) files into any specific folder in order to run the full game?
Super Secret Tech
Winrar is the best solution if it's not working otherwise, this is a compression method to save server size.
DrPinkCake
Your mods crash the game. The only fix is to delete your game, persistent and save files from "game/saves" and "%appdata%/RenPy/BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494"
Dre BROWN
I did exactly that and it still wont let me play
Chris
think i got it.
Chris
ok. im trying again. im re downloading the files. now. only 1 file looks like the .rar file. (with the 3 books stacked) right?? Then, do I take all the files and put them into a folder named being a diK? or?? I think maybe it will be fine, but Im just misplacing them or somthing
Dorian Rast
V11.1 doesn't exist for Steam and you should not try to merge it with Steam installation or you will mess up both games and data files. If extracting gives you corruption errors. 1) If extract lists the corrupted file, delete it. 2) Clear you browser cache to ensure you don't redownload a gliched file from the cache instead of Patreon. 3) download the file again. Try to extract again. Note: do not use window's built in extract. Use winrar or 7zip. Come into discord if problems persists.
Chris
yeah. this isn't working for me either. I have the game on steam. but i tried installing the whole game from here. however the downloads all "archive is corrupt". except for one. so, not sure what to do here.
Dorian Rast
Have you happened to use any mods or translations in the past? We can help in discord if you join.
JS1486
No matter what I do game keeps crashing. I get to Than saying You've been playing and it crashes to desktop
Teufelhunde DJI
Never mind, I realized what I was doing wrong. It looks like it is up and running.
Teufelhunde DJI
I'm not having any luck either. Folder keeps coming up empty.
DrPinkCake
Use winrar if you're having issues unzipping.
DrPinkCake
All you have to do is. 1. Download all the files. 2. Right click the .zip file and select Extract here with Winrar 3. Play.
Dpassion
I'm having problems extracting the files even downloaded RAR saying can't extract the volume where on discord to chat about it? i mean like the channel?
Sir Vladimeer
Same problem
Dorian Rast
did you use winrar or 7zip? You can't use native windows functionality. If you have trouble, come into discord and we can help.
Chris S
Worked for me, Thank you!
Will Donovan
I can't extract the zip file no matter what I try! Soooo want to play this.
Apex Predator
Using winrar whats next after downloading all files? I need step by step help is that on the Discord feed?
TheSimpaiii
For anyone having issue just download Winrar I had issues until I did that, and it worked perfectly fine afterwards. 👍🏻
Dorian Rast
DPC has his reasons for making the change. Unfortunately, change can be difficult. Join us on discord if you need assistance walking it through. Most issues steam from not using winrar or 7zip (native Windows doesn't support split archives) - both are free tools.
Dorian Rast
S3 only takes saves from the end of S2 because Season 1 and 2 combine is very large. S3 is almost as big as a single season. So start a new game in S1 for Patreon, Steam, or GOG. Play that thru to end of Season 2 and import into Season 3.
Apex Predator
Man this is becoming a huge headache for me, cant get it to work wish you would of just kept it how it was last release.
Jonathan Karlsson
When i download this i can only load a save from season 2, i would like to replay the entire game from ep1
DrPinkCake
If you want to download the entire game 18GB, you need all those files. They contain data for the game.
Guardian
why do we need to download BeingADIK-0.11.1-pc-lin.z09 1-10 for this to work?
DrPinkCake
Link your Patreon account to Discord here: https://www.patreon.com/settings/apps Then you can chat in the channels. I'm in there.
