It's finally here. Thanks to everyone for their patience over the years and I hope you enjoy.
UPDATE 3/19/19
The first update to the patch has been released. We've reorganized the installer and patches a little bit compared to the previous version as well as fixed some key issues.
Installers

Instructions
To install this you will need all three routes of Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua for PC. Choose the installer that corresponds to your OS. The installer will download the selected patches, if you run it after having already installed the game it will check for updates and download them automatically (note: if you use a portable installation you will have to select the directory again before it checks). The first time you open the game you'll have to right click and select "run as administrator". After that, the game will ask you to choose a save directory. As of now it seems old saves from the previous iteration of the project will not load, to compensate I have provided a 100% save file whcih can be downloaded from here: Be advised this is still a beta build and thus problems may occur. If you encounter a bug not listed below in this post please report it so we can take note of it.
About the Patches
Note: If you have already done the installation and wish to update without using the installer again, I have provided the direct links to each of the patches so you can grab them individually.
Mandatory patches:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1L9...a3aL9T_S6QPdaL
-patch.xp3 This is the core patch for the game laying the foundation for the following patches. It merges all the routes to a single game, where each route unlocks after finishing the previous one - much like the classic and PS2/Vita releases. The title background will change depending on your progress in the game. Each route is unlocked after finishing the previous one, with the order being: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel.
The following patches are optional, and even if you add them you can turn on/off all of their features via in-game switches:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1J_...1ikS3o8QoaDHv_
-patch_lang_english.xp3 Adds English translation to the game.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BV...7rhHN9KqAZNFWf
-patch_hd.xp3 Adds HD graphics and wide mode support for the game.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Zj...OIA-j0eHy6D9T6
-patch_op.xp3 Adds high resolution Vita, PS2, and classic OPs (opening movies). The classic OP are only available at the movie menu when unlocked, while the PS2 and Vita openings play at different parts of the game as well.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CO...IQTjHw-GhZvHlk
-patch_vita_ost.xp3 Adds an optional remixed version or the OST from the vita. In the BGM menu at the config menu, you can individually select for each track whether to use the original or remixed version.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ta...3XH6sNn__tLfu2
-patch_h.xp3 Restores the sex scenes, nudity, and other sexual content from the class release.

-patch_decensor.xp3 Adds decensored images for the H-scenes.
While the installer will not function on anything older than Win7 SP1, you can actually run pre-existing portable installations of "Ultimate Edition" on older operating system configurations - all the way back to Vista without any service pack!
But of course, there are definitely a few catches (otherwise the above-listed "minimum requirements" wouldn't be what they are):
- On all versions of Vista, the OP videos will simply not work and you'll get an error whenever they try to play. You can however simply turn off the OP video functionality altogether by simply enabling "Patch" -> "Options" -> "Skip movies in-game".
- Similarly, audio drivers are only required because the OP videos will not play if you do not have them installed and you'll get stuck at a white screen. Therefore, if you avoid the OP videos or disable them altogether via "Skip movies in-game", then you can actually run the VN without issue even if you have no sound drivers installed...though obviously you'll have no sound.
- If you don't have the newest service pack for Win7 or Vista, or heck are running either without any service pack (or alternatively have a borked c++ 2015 x86 installation that you're unable to fix), then using "high" quality graphics will result in an error. Assuming your VN isn't already set to use "low" quality graphics, the easiest thing to do is rename "patch_hd.xp3" to "patch_hd.xp3_BAK" - the next time you launch the VN, it will then run in "low" quality. This method however will disable "wide" screen mode as well, so if you want to still use that, first launch the VN and make sure that it's running with "low" quality graphics, then close the VN and simply re-rename "patch_hd.xp3_BAK" to "patch_hd.xp3" - the VN will then still start up in "low" quality mode, but you can now select "wide" screen mode as well.
Also the Vita Fate OP is by far the most demanding thing CPU-wise on older systems without h.264/AVC GPU decoding, so if you have "Play Vita OP in-game" setting disabled, you can actually get away with running the VN on much lower end hardware; the post-prologue OP only requires maybe an early 2000s single core CPU @ ~1.8GHz while everything else about the VN could probably run on even a circa-2000 ~1GHz single core CPU.
So I actually forgot about this when I posted the release but, we have a customization feature for the Decensor patch! Okay so to clarify, the decensor patch uses a combination of two different prior ones, hence why I have two different sets of credits for them, a long time ago I was contacted by one of the makers of one of the patches and was requested to make multiple versions of it as he wished for his versions to be entirely used. Quibi and I decided we'd make the decensor CG's configurable, but not within the game's UI at all. So our solution was a .dic file:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-d...fTz-mOGqUDMj0B
This file exists within the decensor patch with a preset configuration, however if you download this and put it in your game folder, then the game will read it over the one in the patch, so you can edit it with notepad++ to change the configuration as you please.
I should note I haven't ACTUALLY tested if this works yet so if it doesn't please let me know.......that is if anyone actually cares/wants to use it, if not I'll get around to testing it eventually.
