Otomegirl24 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Hi there, I just registered as a new member today and I'm really excited to play some of these games & to talk with people who are interested in otome games and/or visual novels. I recently downloaded Starry Sky today and I'm REALLY excited to play it. However, when I started play the game, the punctuation marks turn out funny. Instead of a period or a question mark, there is a @ or B to replace it. How do I fix this? Do I need to change my unicode? I figured I wouldn't have to change it since I read that it wasn't required to change it. Quote

Guest Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Yeah Starry Sky should work without Japanese locale... I wonder what could be causing it... Weird... Is your system set to a different language that is not english? Quote

Is your system set to a different language that is not english? Nope, it's set to English, I haven't changed it or anything. The punctuation marks are a little off-putting, but I'm still enjoying the game overall. Quote
meru Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Hi, welcome to the forums! I'm not really a fan of otome games, but I've been thinking of playing Starry Sky simply because I'm a bit of a yaoi fangirl and can see so many potential pairings in it XD Quote
Tay Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Well, first things first: First: the translation of Starry Sky was done by a mysterious group and is notoriously buggy. Second: the English patch was hosted on the now-dead site megaupload. The only extant copies are those circulated around the community like those Aaeru provides. Third: The patch has limited success. It works for some people, and not for others. The details I provided above worked for me. I've done all the research my time allows, and I haven't come up with anything more than that. It works on my computers, and that's really the end of what I can do to troubleshoot your issue. An alternate method of installation/acquisition can be found here: http://sasugasugoi.b...stallation.html . : ( I'm sorry if it still doesn't work for you! I don't play Otome games, so if something comes up down the road, post on the forum and hopefully somebody who's played the games will have an answer. EDIT: Oops, I'm getting my posts confused. When I refer to previously offered advice, it can be found here. I forgot there've been two threads of Starry Sky troubles posted in the 'Introduce Yourself' board.

Tay Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 If you've got any further issues (or, better, solutions!), please post about it in the technical support topic for this game (freshly created, here is the link). Quote
