Funyarinpa Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I am pretty sure I am not the only person that needs to switch between Western locale and JP locale regularly and having to restart your PC over and over again is both annoying and inconvenient. Well AppLocale exists for that. However, some VN's do not work with that. I do not know if this is something exclusive to Muv-Luv, but it does not work with AppLocale(AL from now on). I think that we should make a list of those VN's that refuse AL, for the sak e of convenience and maybe, just maybe, a bit less clutter in the troubleshooting forum. Are there many VN's with this characteristic? If you know any (translated ones?), would you mind posting them down below so that we can make a list? I'll start it off: Muv-Luv Quote
Funnerific Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to switch back to Western locale? I've only ever needed to change back from JP once, to play a Russian-TLed VN. All the English games run as they should. Maybe it has something to do with what language you installed Windows in? Quote

My recording program bandicam would not run on a japanese locale, and I had to get the japanese version to get it to work. I ran into one or 2 others, but I don't recall the names. Quote

Well, from the top of my head, "The Walking Dead", "Hotline Miami", "Battlefield 3" and as stated above, Bandicam do not work. OS is Windows 8.1 English. I play many Western games too, y'know. ^^ Quote
Pabloc Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 As far as I know, all fantranslated Nitro+ VNs tend to have issues with AppLocale (they can work, but some sprites or backgrounds will not display properly). To list specific titles, that would be Saya no Uta (fan TL version), Kikokugai, Hanachirasu and Dra+Koi. I think Kamidori didn't work with applocale either, but I'm not sure about this one. Also, generally all titles made in TVP (KIRIKIRI) 2, HUMANBALANCE and WOLF RPG will not work with applocale (WOLF stuff sometimes works, but doesn't display the text properly). Quote
dale Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Try using Locale Emulator, works for me and didn't have a problem with any VN. Quote

Never switch back! this is more convenient XD Quote
Pabloc Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 @Dale I have never heard of locale emulator (I was relying on switching locale for a long while already, so I wasn't up to date with such programs). From what I checked so far, Walpurgis (kirikiri2) actually works just fine, so it may be more useful than AppLocale (WOLF RPG stuff still has a font problem though). Thanks for the info. ^^ Never switch back! this is more convenient XD It's not convenient at all when your native language uses non-unicode characters. Different locale can be quite annoying then, it can screw up quite a few programs. Quote

No problem I had the same problem with switching locale. I used a VM for this for some time (and I still do since some games work better on XP) Quote
douggle Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I just leave my pc in Japanese locale there is no need for me to switch back to regular locale all of my other games work just fine and so does the software I use for work. Quote

I don't use bandicam there are other programs that do the same thing. Quote

Mephisto Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 BF3 is not something I'd learn how to hex edit for. If it's been done before there's likely instructions on the internet on how to do this. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 There are BF3 Players here ?! Got it because found it for $20, said "meh" and never touched it again after two weeks. Quote
Mr. Meogii Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Lol No man you should get to it. The multiplayer Mode is awesome Got it because found it for $20, said "meh" and never touched it again after two weeks. Quote
