If there’s one reason why many people play the Onimusha series, it’s certainly because the PC version supports mods. A good example is the Onimusha Bishamon sword unlock mod, which allows you to collect the Bishamon sword. Usually, you need 2 playthroughs to unlock the swords; with one of them requiring you to be on Carnage. But with the mod, you can easily unlock the sword on save without necessarily playing through the game twice. However, according to recent reports, it seems many players are experiencing an “Onimusha Bishamon sword mod crash” issue. But this issue has now been addressed with a new version of the mod.
The problem:
The Bishamon Sword is currently one of the most amazing rewards every player wants. This reward, which you can unlock by beating the game on Carnage difficulty, comes with several different combat benefits. First, it increases the parry window, which allows you to execute key Issen attacks. Besides, it also helps players to boost their overall damage dealt with Issen attacks.
As mentioned earlier, unlocking the Bishamon Sword requires 2 playthroughs. Importantly, a player needs to beat the game on Carnage difficulty to earn the sword. But many players who don’t want to follow these steps often opt for the Bishamon sword unlock mod.
Originally, the Onimusha Bishamon sword unlock mod came with a save function, which could cause the game to crash. The Save function is important because unlocking the mod itself doesn’t just add a cosmetic change. As such, the Save function works automatically to get the mod working.
The current version of the mod doesn’t have the problematic save function. The developer removed the function to address the crashing issue that many players often experience. As such, players must now unlock the sword through the mod and then save their progress manually.
How to address the Onimusha Bishamon Sword mod crash issue
According to the mod creator, getting the latest version of the mod is the solution to the crash issue that many players experience. To get started with the current version, below are a few steps you can follow:
- Delete the version with the crash issue and install the updated version of the Bishamon sword unlock mod.
- Launch and load the game
- Open the mod and use the “Unlock” button
- Return to the game and locate a Spirit Mirror.
- Use the Spirit Mirror to save your game manually.
- Reload the game and you’ll notice that the sword has unlocked.
Before trying the steps above, ensure to back up your user and system saves first. This step is crucial because the new mod permanently changes your save.
