FOX Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Are you running your computer with Non-Unicode Japanese? (link to instructions): No, I do not run my PC with Non-Unicode Japanese (Ever17 doesn't need such effort, as it's written on its Fuwa page) Game: Ever17 -the out of infinity- Description of Problem: After a few minutes of gameplay, text which should be written in normal English characters turns into strange, a bit transparent, dots. That's pretty annoying to restart a novel 3 minutes after opening. Your Operating System: Windows XP (32 bit) What did you already try? (Uninstall/Reinstall, Redownload, Run as admin, etc): I have tried running Ever17 with Admin rights but that didn't solve the problem. I'm going to redownload the game (and change system locale to Japanese before) and I'll tell you, if it solves it. Did you download your game from Fuwanovel?: Of course. That's how the dots look: Did anyone has a similar problem. If yes, how did you solve it. Thanks for any reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's probably locale. After you change it to japanese tell how it looks ^^ Kaguya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 If Locale doesn't fix it, download Courier New (you may already have it, but its the font they chose for the game) Link: Courier New Font Unzip, double click and it should install the fonts.

Tief Blau Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's probably locale. After you change it to japanese tell how it looks ^^ No. The English version of Ever17 can run fine in either English or Japanese. If it was Japanese locale only, then the game wouldn't even run, you would get error messages when you attempt to start it. FOX, as for your issue, I really don't know. Sorry.

FOX Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have just changed locale to Japanese and... surprise. Dots changed into small characters... @Kendijin, I think that Windows has that font default, but I'll try to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Seems like the font is too small instead of it being dots. Time to put my thinking cap on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well... I'm not sure if the problem's solved (I'll make sure tomorrow, today it's pretty late), but I think that the problem might be that files in Ever17 are 'read-only' default. I unmarked all files to be non read-only and I haven't seen any dots/small characters for a few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well...

I unmarked all files to be non read-only and I haven't seen any dots/small characters for a few mins. Now you mention it, I'm sure I read something like this before, unsure if it was Ever 17, but someone did say making it non read only fixed an issue. Was it all the files or only some? Will update the troubleshooting page once we know for sure Look forward to your input once you get time to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Okay. I've played around ~30 minutes and games didn't crash, so it's the 'read-only' access right problem. My fault that I didn't check the Ever17's troubleshooting page carefully (there's a point about unchecking 'read only' checkbox in all game's files)... Sorry for trouble and thank you, Nakanishi Kaguya, Kandiji, Tief Blau, for help . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
