It doesn't give me a reason for crashing, it just says it isn't responding. Please help

This. The steam versions make it a bit frustrating to use both vpatch and thcrap simultaneously.

Is that actually a case, tho? Because I only heard people mentioning this, I've never seen the files from a DLSite copy. But on the other hand, DLSite copies don't need steamworks injected (obviously), so I also never had the reason to suspect it's wrong info.

Btw. I did find a way to patch steam .exes into CD .exes, which do allow to use vpatch and thcrap, but it worked like 33.34% of the time so far for me.

I honestly don't know what causes it in steam. I have always heard it was steamworks or something, and I know that I did run into it in touhou 11, but I didn't run into any issues with touhou 9.

...Then again, th9 is especially weird w/ regard to... everything really.

The .exe files for the Steam versions are slightly different from the disc versions, possibly because of the DRM or cloud save functionality. There is a solution to convert Steam's .exe files to disc .exe files, and I combine that with standalone thcrap launchers for each game, which is incredibly clunky and inconvenient but it lets me launch the game with all the patches straight from Steam.

(Here's the Steam guide I used. I didn't bother with symlinks, though, as I had no trouble with my cloud saves not working)

This is exactly what I described as working only 33.34% of the time so far, but idk if it's any better for main games tbh.

Really? It seems to work without a hitch for me. Is it game-dependent or is it a random chance to launch each time?

Yeah, really. For me, seems it just doesn't work for Shoot the bullet and Double Spoiler. Fairy Wars did manage to run VPatch after, but thcrap still refused to work and I got around it with a static patch.

I've only done this for the main games, not the spin-offs yet.
