I've tried it once before.

SAI is good because of the amazing inking tools, and you know it!

I'm ex sai user. Now I'm using Clip Studio Paint EX (which I bought when it's on sale) and it's really awesome. But sai 2 is actually quite good. I mean, for a software that costs around $50, I think the functions it offers are quite good, almost just like Clip Studio Paint (or manga studio before) which I bought for $120 something. The original price is $400 something if I'm not wrong.

Does that error generate a log file in the directory where the .exe is? If so, I had the same problem, but after I restarted it just sorta resolve itself. Strange.

Also using Clip Studio. It's a great piece of software, but for me it's slow on larger images. It also crashes for no reason some times. Tons of useful functions though.

Hopefully it'll be released soon. There's probably a lot of stuff that still needs to be solidified, such as an English translation.

This is REALLY neat. If they release a version translated to English, I might just buy it. (Or honestly, even if they dont, Ill probably still remember the functions, as 2dt has said.

I have the same problem. It says that the program has performed an illegal operation. I'm not sure what causes it yet, but I do know that I can run it in a virtual machine and on other computers so I'm assuming that something else I have installed is conflicting with SAI 2 in some way. I've been on Japanese boards where a few others have had this problem, but there are no answers to be had there either. There seems to be only a handful of users experiencing this problem. I'll try debugging this later on and see if I can pinpoint the actual cause.

Update on error: After uninstalling the driver for my tablet, PaintTool SAI 2 works again. It's weird though. I know it worked for a short while even with the driver installed. Oh well. It is an early build so problems like these should be expected.

Anyway, if anyone is still interested in an English patch for this, I've been working on one. I estimate that I'll have it finished in about a week.
