FAQ

Running the game

• Q1: I keep getting an "(0) Yotogi.Category enum parse error (non-Japanese text)" error when I run the game and I have AppLocale?

A: If you receive an error called "(0) Yotogi.Category enum parse error (non-japanese text)", then that means your computer has not completely changed the system locale to Japanese because AppLocale doesn't support x64/64-bit OS. You must do the following below (choose one method only).

1. For the x64/64-bit version without setting Windows system locale to Japanese, you can use NTLEA x64 and configure it like here. Next, press the arrow on the bottom right and that makes it so you can right click COM3D2x64.exe to run the game with NTLEA x64.
2. Setting Windows system locale to Japanese, follow the intructions below (note: This method is recommended because it's simple, doesn't require NTLEA x64 and works fine on Windows 10).
   Control Panel > Region > Administrative Tab > Language for non-Unicode programs choose Japanese(Japan) and restart your computer.

• Q2: How to fix the translated UI that doesn't display correctly or has incorrect positioning after updating to ver1.09 or higher?

A: You need to update YATranslator Plugin and Translation files because the old plugin version does not support the newer game version.

1. Update the plugin to the latest version here YATranslator Plugin.
2. Also update the following translation strings, texture and asset files from Sybaris2 AIO in COM3D2\Sybaris\Unityinjector\Config

• Q3: I get an error when opening the COM3D2 launcher after updating to ver1.11 or higher and my current CM3D2 version is ver1.58.1, how to fix this problem?
