Did you guys receive a confirmation about the correct spelling of Erika's name from 07th Expansion? I know that most people call her Erika but I saw some people use Erica instead.

Personally I'm surprised no one has tried to argue for:

Spoiler for character from episode 5 name:

Yerika or Werika, either of which would *technically* be more correct in this case as the name is 古戸 ヱリカ

Spoiler for names and such:

Maybe because Yerika and Werika arent names, but Erika is?

Thanks! Really, i appreciate this help. Soon i will be a full member of the Umineko SN community! ^__________^

I just want to ask one thing
I've just bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium installed, and it's impossible to change the language so everytime I try to run the patch it says it's impossible since the locale isn't in Japanese, though it can't recognise Japanese caracters, it can't also read them in Umineko 5, it doesn't crash but I won't hear anything, is there a way to solve it?

So, the .rar file doesn't open at all? Well, dang, maybe it got screwed up when I was uploading it. Just a sec...
[Edit] Ok, I just downloaded the file from Mediafire to make sure it was ok, and it unrared just fine with 7zip. Maybe you just need to re-download the file?

Does that include when you change the locale? I'm pretty sure you don't change the language of Windows, only it's ability to run programs that don't support Unicode. Which is under Control Panel->Clock, Language, and Region->Region and Language->Administrative->Language for non-Unicode Programs->Japanese

THX; it's wa a bit diff but now it's working again

Where I can found my saves for EP4, and how can I transport them to other computer? I searched for it in Application Data\Umineko ...
...but I have Vista, so yeah.

I think Vista has the same setup as Win7, so it should be under "C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData" and either in Roaming\Umineko or Local\Umineko, I'm not sure which.

[LuckySovietStar]

Funny part is, that there is no Umineko folder either in Roaming, or Local. Im looking at it right now. And Im pretty sure that I can see hidden folders too...Damn, Vista cant even find gloval.sav anywhere.

[ShinseiTom]

Gloval.sav appears in the Umineko4 Program Files folder. Not in an AppData folder . We were both looking in the wrong place.

[Kirroha]

Nope, it un-rars perfectly fine.

But when I use the Ep4 patch, and click on the .exe file, it says "Cannot open Boxfile" while when I used the Ep5 patch, it says "Cannot open archive file". Can you try it on your to see if it works?

[Nadeor]

To fix the "Cannot open Boxfile", you will simply have to check your directory and your file name for any Chinese characters. If you find any, just rename them to English. Appearently that's a stupid BUG of WinXP+ users (Rename everything into English and it works...wow, what's this, racism? lol)

For EP5:
-Make sure the "Read-Only" box of your WINDOWS folder in your C:/ directory is not ticked on
-Delete every single save file, Gloval.sav, envdata, make sure there's a "Screenshot" folder in your EP5 folder, if there's not, make one yourself
-Run with Applocale (The legendary VN synchronizer)


This time, to counter an a**hole who kept leaking translated scripts, we have decided to try a whole new method on Patching and Clearing
So you might find some places that have typos and such
Wish you the best with EP5

I was having the same problem when I tried the EP5 Chinese translation until I followed this step by Nadeor above. By changing the name of the .exe from "海猫鸣泣之时散ep5汉化补丁" to just "ep5," it magically worked and patched the game, and when I started it up the language was in what I can only assume is Chinese (not Korean or Japanese at least...)

The EP4 patch... haven't tested yet.
[Edit] I can confirm that the EP4 Patch also works (unlike the other though, it's drag-n-drop). Put the two files in the Umineko4 Program Folder, changed the name of the executable to just EP5 (beforehand it gave the BOXERROR like it did to you), deleted my gloval.sav and envdata, and it started right up. I did get a crash when I unlocked EP4 (related to SE playing?), but I restarted and messed around a bit more and didn't get another crash, plus it kept EP4 unlocked even after it crashed the first time.

[Kirroha]

Ah, I see. Thanks. Trying it now. What's Applocale?

[The Creator]

It's a program for windows that lets you install programs that are in a language different from the one your windows is in.

[Kirroha]

Both patches seem to be working, but they are still unable to play the ME's and the SE's. They always get an error whenever that happens. Can you tell me what 'tweaking' you've done to have made it possible to play it, Shinsei?

[ShinseiTom]

Yeah, this error? I thought I had only gotten this error once, but now that I've tried a few more things, it's popping up all the time. Even though the SE still plays, both 4 and 5 crash as soon as this pops up. It does this on XP (x32) and Win7 (x64) for me.

Sorry, I don't have a tweak for this. Maybe Nadeor knows something?

[Sir Andy Richter]

Am I supposed to let W-H know about the 15 typos so far I've noticed in the first two episodes, or what?

I'm pretty sure they already know about them, and everything..

You mean instances where an apostrophe that wasn't needed was used, "your" instead of "You're", and other things like that?

Yeah, I noticed those too.

[Floofeh]

I had a few questions regarding the new stuff coming out soon (episode 6, patch of episode 5...)

Will episode 5 come out as 5+6 together? And if so, will the episode 5 patch work on the game that contains 5+6?

I also heard something about playing umineko on the ds? What's that about? It would be awesome if that was possible! Do you know more of that?
