FAQ

Running the game

• Q: I keep getting an "(0) Yotogi.Category enum parse error (character not japanese)" error when I run the game and I have tried both AppLocale and NTLEA?

A: You can't use AppLocale to run the x64 version because AppLocale don't support x64 version. but you can use AppLocale to run the x86 version on Windows 7,8 by step below

1. Copy files and folders CM3D2x86_Data and CM3D2x86.exe from installation folder into your game folder. (example: C:\KISS\CM3D2\)
2. Right-click CM3D2x86.exe and select Run with Japanese locale. (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options.)
   Note: HF pAppLoc doesn't work with Windows 10 or x64 version.

A: The best way for solve this problem is set window system locate to japanese but if you still want to run the x64 version or window 10 without set window system, you can try this solution, which is using NTLEA x64.
