The Tales of Symphonia PC-Port is a mess!

Yeah I have a 16:10 in gedosato, had hoped I'd be able to avoid black bars but I guess I'll have to do. Or I can just ignore the 16:10 problems, they're not that big.

Guess they saw the PC Gamer article:

If I'm understanding this right. Symphonia port is handled by American branch while Zestiria was handled by European branch? European branch had QLOC making the port. I wonder who they hired for this port?

Seem to be having issues with Gedosato, the game doesn't launch. Looks like it it wants to on my steam profile but goes away after like 10 seconds.
Haven't used the program much save for back in Dark Souls 2 days, so tried other whitelisted games, seems to happen to them all.
There any known programs that interfere perhaps? Tried closing down most with no luck. Double checked with the redistributables, nothing. I get an error in the program itself saying "Error setting installation, object not set to an instance of an object"

I'm getting an issue when I try to use GeDoSaTo for this game..
ERROR.txt appears in the game directory and I see this text in it -
Could not read the install location from the registry.
Make sure to extract the downloaded files to a suitable location and run GeDoSaToTool.exe
GeDoSaTo is installed in c:\GeDoSaTo, the game is in the normal steam directory.
I am on windows 10
My machine has no BIOS (I'm on a mac)

Same thing here.
That explains so much.
Fuck yeah!

Damn, lol.
Thanks for yet another fix Durante.
I don't own the game yet but I want to check it out eventually.
WIndows 10 64 bit.
Back when I used it in the DS2 days and it worked fine I was on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
I'm sure there's a European equivalent of a crying bald eagle. Then again I guess we all have our own national iconic animals.
Oddly I get crashes at 3840x2160, runs fine at 5120x2880, can dump a frame fine (and I made sure not to do so at a high resolution this time
) but every now and then will get a crash upon taking a screenshot (so almost kind of pointless looking for a decent pshash). Be interesting to see what what these fixes BNEA have in store. Wonder if they'll rip out their DRM which didn't really do anything but be a pain in the arse? Actually that's a silly question.

Amazing work, Durante.
It was, originally.
This release is after it's been cut in half, eaten, and... well...

Interesting, it was completely stable for me at 4k and for taking around 10 shots... for all the 15 minutes or so I spent testing, which is obviously not a whole lot.I'm sure there's a European equivalent of a cry bald eagle. Then again I guess we all have our own national iconic animals.

However, considering what the plugin does (very little), it's unlikely to be responsible for any crashes which happen.
I did have track shaders on and Steam and Afterburner's Overlay/OSD on the go so I imagine it's more my setup than anything else. Plus I did this on a Win 7 machine which apparently the game doesn't like as much (although apart from a little slugishness in menus I've not noticed anything like others have reported).

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Installed on the root of the C drive
Running as admin: Error setting Installation path:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Error text file in the Symphonia directory reads:
Could not read the install location from the registry.
Make sure to extract the downloaded files to a suitable location and run GeDoSaToTool.exe
Also could not find the registry key if i follow HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Durante\GeDoSaTo
To be more specific there is no Durante after SOFTWARE
Disable in game anti-alia--wait, no. I have no idea.
The engine has to be capable, and since this is the copy of the transcript of the PS2 engine..
The amount of times I've accidentally clicked New Game on launch.
It wouldn't be a problem if the Menu displayed straight away, but since you need to press the button to get the menu to appear, it's just so easy to do.

This port is so bad it almost seems like some sort of sabotage for the series on PC. They have a big back catalog of these games they could bring over based on the success of this.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
You da real MVP.
Yep, working now, gracias!
Thanks, working great!

So Durante decided to fix it for us?
Might get playing afterall lol 15 mins to fix something is insane why on earth did they think releasing it like this was a good idea? Do these companies not realise how damaging it can be?

Update fixed it, thanks for your hard work.
You know those "documentaries" that show their burgers and fries being left in a container for weeks on end? I think this is more akin to that.

With latest 2128 built of Gedosato TOS just don't launch at all ¯\_(ツ
_/¯protectionId shows securom traces in ToZ
here so far it seems to be VMProtect with some strange traces of Securom 8 (possibly some kind of light version of Denuvo's protection based on VMProtect and Securom )
Incidentally, have you taken a look how the music is stored?
Not that we would need it, just for curiosity's sake - did they botch that as well?

I think i got it, it was genericdepth plugin that causes crashes (i use it for DD
A). Now all works fine! =) But game still has shimmering issue (low postprocessing quality)

That's probably the case considering the free Alicia DLC was handed out exclusively from Namcos European site (it worked for everyone though) and that guy in the Symphonia forums explicitely mentioned the American branch.
Makes me wonder how that makes the ones responsible for Zestirias good port feel, seeing how another company branch completely wasted all their efforts.

I got it free with Zestiria, but it seems like it's hardly worth installing in its release state. Glad Durante called attention to the bad port and at least fixed the locked resolution (thanks Durante!).

Here are what the trading cards and badges look like, for the curious.
Besides the fact that they look kinda bad, there is also this.
They really didn't give a damn, did they?
Not planning to get Symphonia, so I haven't, sorry.
