Old guide: (Deprecated, files down, but links in comments work).\r
\r
FAQ:\r
\r
1: Be sure that you install this unto a CLEAN game install, patched to 1.02\r
2: And NO, you cannot use it together with the old costume-only DLC mod\r
3: To uninstall the old, costume-only DLC mod, simply restore the LINKDATA files\r
4: DLC-mod is fully compatible with the Japanese Voice Patch\r
5: But YES, you CAN install the DLC-mod without it and vice-versa\r
\r
The manual 1.02 patches by 3DM or ali213 replace all the LINKDATAs except LINDATA2.BIN and .IDX, and WILL likely break the game if used on top of an already edited setup.\r
\r
Official voice DLC: andpatch: \r
\r
And you STILL need the game patched to 1.02\r
\r
[Update Details Ver 1.02] ~note: its still a bit buggy\r
Options have been expanded when fusing weapons so that secret and unique weapons can also be selected. The ability to reset personal bests in Challenge Mode. Bugs that prevented progress in certain stages have been fixed. A bug where choosing Continue from the main menu and selecting Change Officer before beginning battle caused the game to freeze has been fixed. A bug where switching from one type of falcon to another as your support animal during battle cause the game to freeze has been fixed. Additional game balance adjustments and bug fixes.\r
\r
After the update, you will still be able to use any existing save data with the game.\r

We are pleased to announce that version 1.02 of DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is now live on Steam. By starting the game and connecting to Steam, your game will be automatically updated.\r
\r
~Addendum:\r
\r
If you cant download 4 Gigabytes, but need to fix slowdowns or the black screen crashes, you can use older, smaller, 1.01 update, here: (copy Update fodler first)\r
\r
OF COURSE DO NOT INSTALL THE 1.01 PATCH OVER 1.02.\r
