Updating

Use these instructions if you already have JN installed. If you are running a BETA version of JN, please follow the Installation steps instead.

Back up your persistent and read the instructions carefully.

Using the Official JN Installer (recommended)

1. Stop JN, if you are currently playing the mod.
2. Download the Official JN Installer for your operating system (one starting with jn-installer).
3. Extract the JN Installer file you have downloaded.
4. Run the JN Installer, and follow the steps in the application: make sure you select your DDLC folder when prompted (the one formatted DDLC-1.1.X-x, E.G. DDLC-1.1.0-pc).
   1. If on Windows, you may receive a security warning from SmartScreen: to continue, click More Info, then Run anyway.
5. Finally, launch DDLC.
6. Enjoy!

Manual update

Details

1. Stop JN, if you are currently playing the mod.
2. Download the latest release here: select the ZIP file starting with jn (I.E jn-1.0.0.zip). Do not download the source code, as this will result in future updates failing.
3. Extract/unzip the new release files.
4. From the release files, copy the game folder contents (all of it) into the game folder of your JN installation. If asked to replace files, select Yes.
5. From the release files, copy the lib folder contents (all of it) into the lib folder of your JN installation. If asked to replace files, select Yes.
6. From the release files, copy the update folder contents (all of it) into the update folder of your JN installation. If asked to replace files, select Yes.
7. Finally, launch DDLC.
   1. If the game does not appear to update or displays a warning about .rpy files, you are running the source code (files ending in .rpy) instead of the release files: delete everything in the game folder, download the release files (starting with jn) and update using those.
8. Enjoy!
