The new version doesn't work for me either. It crashed just the same as before. I don't know that there's anything I can do to get it to work. I even uninstalled and reinstalled SA2 before updating to this version. The intro glitches without the mod; I don't know if that'll tell anyone anything though. I guess I just got bad luck. The mod worked the very first time I installed it (don't remember the version number). I'm wondering if I didn't mess something up when I updated (but I don't know why that would still effect it when I uninstall/reinstall the whole game).

Have you tried downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 runtime components? You can find them here. Download both the x86 and x64 versions.

There isn't the new challenge race in the chao race menu, why?
(there are only the beginner, jewel, the challenge, hero and dark ones)

newer challenge replace the original challenge race, so it's in challenge race

Thanks I didn't notice!
But I realized that when I enable this challenge race, everyone but 2 chao in the hero and neutral garden are gone, and the dark garden is completely empty.

You may need to briefly enable the code "Nerf Cheated Chao's Stats". Do that and determine whether all of your Chao can participate afterwards. If all of your Chao can participate, then you can disable that code the next time you play the game and if the Chao's stats aren't hacked, then those won't be affected.

I don't mean in the races, I mean in the garden itself, most of the chao are gone. (They re-appear if I disable the challenge race)

chao gone in the garden is impossible
a chao gone in the chao selection before race is possible (which mean he's "banned" and you need to enable the nerf stats to fix it (it's possible that the code can unban the chao without nerf his stats)

and somehow, a chao gone in selection, will move to chao garden once you leave,
conclusion : you though your chao in hero/dark garden are gone but they probably move to chao garden

This is a chao race screen, but trust me, all of those chao are gone from the chao gardens.
(Keep in mind that the chaos chao and tails were made with fusion chao editor, but I don't think they're the problem right now)

Altough some of the chao got a serious nerf, but it's not a problem because all of my favorite chao weren't! :chaohappy:

So I've been thinking about getting this, since I now have SA2 PC. But, I have a question...

I also have Fusion's Chao Editor, and love to use it frequently. If I also get Chao World Extended, is there anything I should be careful about when using Fusion's Chao Editor?

Also, is this easy to set up for the first time? I just need to know if I need to download any additional things in order to get Chao World Extended to work properly once I have it.

Thanks in advance!

If you haven't already, then download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Run-Time Components. I provided a link to them in my last post.

Chao World Extended is easy to set up. All that you need to do is to extract the downloaded files to your Sonic Adventure 2 folder. Next, you should click the "Install Loader" button, then you can select the mods and codes that you want to enable and click the "Save" button in order to save your settings. The mod and code that are named "Chao World Extended" should always be enabled.

Well, you see, I actually got VC++ last night because I was trying to install another mod (a character selection mod), but I couldn't get it or any of the other codes to work. I can't find the Install Loader button, and when I try to open the Mod Manager, I get this weird error (although it still opens the manager).

What was the error, specifically? You may need to download Microsoft .NET Framework 4 as well, if you haven't already. You can download it here.

I also tried to download that last night as well, but it said I already have it. :P

As for the error, it says:

"Data_DLL.dll could not be found. Cannot determine state of installation."

And when the Mod Manager opens, there's no Install Loader button, or Uninstall Loader button either. And when I click Save and Play, I get this:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The system cannot find the file specified."

I don't want to click Continue, in case it would do something harmful.
Also, the files are all extracted into the game folder, and the Mod Loader is also there alongside the files. What do I do?

I haven't heard of that error happening before. Nothng should have happened to the Data_DLL.dll file, and I doubt that aything has happened it it.

I guess I should ask, in what folder did you install SA2? Was it installed in something other than the C: drive? I'm not really sure about whether this may be the issue if you extracted the files correctly.

SA2 is in the C: drive, within the Steam folder like it should be. The Mod Loader and Mod Manager are in the SA2 folder, and more specifically within their own folder called "SA2ModLoader".

Oh. I see what the issue is. You put the Mod Manager files in their own folder within the Sonic Adventure 2 folder, which you shouldn't have done. Those files and folders that were in the SA2ModLoader.7z file and/or the Chao World Extended mod pack, which includes the mod manager, should have been placed directly in the SA2 folder. That's probably why you're getting the Data_DLL.dll error.

Oh, I see. I'll try to fix that now and see if that helps.

EDIT: IT WORKS
I CAN PLAY AS TAILS IN CITY ESCAPE YES

And now I can get Chao World Extended too, of course!

Thank you so much!

You're welcome! Enjoy using Chao World Extended! Also, because it seems that you're using another mod that already allows you to change characters, don't enable the "Enable ALT Character" code because those two will conflict with each other.

Alright, good to know. Also... Just gonna ask this again.

I guess it might depend on the mods and codes I choose to enable, but I still want to know, just in case. Also, since I heard Chao World Extended has custom colors, will I be able to access those using Fusion's Chao Editor? Or will I have to try to get them on my own?

You may be able to access the extra colors with Fusion's Chao Editor. However, the Chao World Extended mod pack provides its own sonic2app.exe file in order to accomplish this and you need to enable the "Mixing Colors" code. What is the name of the other mod that you're using?
