cant play japanese

[yomogi163927]

I've tried many times, but I can't set up Japanese. There is no problem with other languages.

Changing language is described here https://github.com/pixeltris/YgoMaster/blob/master/Docs/FileLoadError.md#changing-language

I'll give a detailed explanation.

The problem

Changing language requires downloading language data. YgoMaster isn't able to download data. If the language set on YgoMaster doesn't match the language set on Steam you will get a "LOAD FILE ERROR" popup when running YgoMaster.

Changing language (method 1) (recommended)

• Open Master Duel using Steam and set the language using the sub menu of the home screen
• You will be sent back to the title screen
• Click the title screen to enter the home screen, it should download the language data
• Close the game
• Where Master Duel is installed there should be a folder called LocalSave, inside if it there will be one folder with random letters/numbers and there may be one folder named 00000000. Delete the 00000000 folder (if it exists). Copy the random named folder and rename the copied folder to 00000000. If you have multiple random named folders you MUST be sure you picked the right one, it's tied to your Steam account and it contains the language that is set on Steam. If you don't pick the right one you will get LOAD FILE ERROR
• Open YgoMasterClient.exe

Changing language (method 2)

This example uses Japanese as the desired language

• Open Master Duel using Steam and set the language to English using the sub menu of the home screen
• You will be sent back to the title screen
• Click the title screen to enter the home screen
• Close the game
• Open YgoMasterClient.exe and go to the home screen. If you get FILE LOAD ERROR at this point delete the 00000000 folder in LocalSave and then restart from the first step. If you can't get past this point without the error popup you cannot continue
• Set the language to Japanese using the sub menu
• You will be sent back to the title screen
• Close the game (DON'T go to home screen)
• Open Master Duel using Steam and set the language to Japanese using the sub menu of the home screen
• You will be sent back to the title screen
• Click the title screen to enter the home screen, it should download the language data
• Close the game
• Open YgoMasterClient.exe

Title screen / home screen

• The title screen is the screen that is displayed when you open the game
• The home screen is the screen where it shows your duelist level and all of the sub menu items (DUEL, SOLO, etc)
• In the top right of the home screen there is a sub menu where you can set the language
• Any time you set the language it will send you back to the title screen. You must then enter the home screen to download the language data. YgoMaster cannot download language data

In https://github.com/pixeltris/YgoMaster/commit/04d7d545d3d3b6028071b6a9b545e70bd9845854 I have made it a lot easier to change the language. All you will need to do is set the language on the Steam version of the game, go through to the home screen to download the language files, then open YgoMaster. This will be in the next release (v1.50). For an immediate fix you'll want to follow the steps in my comment above
