Well i will buy it from an importer if its not for europe i guess.

As I just said, they're being cautious and starting out with only one region before moving on to other regions. Given the huge amount of support for Umineko that exists in Europe, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that area gets added soon.

If there's enough demand for the download version in other regions, that can only help to make this transition faster.

Hi The Witch Hunt.

I would like to show my gratitude for the work you've made so far.

I've read all the episodes translated by you and I think your work is superb.

I look forward to read Episode 7 ^^

Best regards.

I assume there is also a lot of legal crap that doesn't allow you to just make it available to all regions.

From the little I know, international law on the internet gets quite a bit messy.

Well, there are no borders on the internet... we are all brothers and sisters. A big big family

Used Can · 2010-10-18, 07:26

Yeah... no. Even in the Internet there are things for which the Law will get you, and which you cannot do because of legal matters.

Anyway, I don't see any legal reasons why not to make this available to all regions. My guess is that they have costs to cover regarding these downloads (servers, maintenance, other crap - although I wonder if they are any relevant for this situation) and they'd rather play it safe. Now, the US is a big market, and Americans are well-known for having money and liking to spend it. If they see any success there, they'll probably make it available for Europe, Australia and maybe other regions.

Listen, when you have a new thing going, you don't want to open it up to everyone straight away. It's better to just open it to a small group of people and give it a trial. You know, to see how it runs, if there is any mistakes or errors or anything else wrong with it. After that, when you're sure everything is working great, then you release it to a bigger audience.

Witch of Uncertainty · 2010-10-18, 12:03

Trying to replay ep 6, but I the game crashes at teh same place all the time. :|

Spoiler for Ep6:

I've tried reinstalling it, placing every file in every folder, making sure nothing is missing.. and that's it.

Anyone knows what is wrong?

Jan-Poo · 2010-10-18, 12:12

"mhal_2con" shouldn't exist. It should be "mhal_2co"

I have no clue why your script has such an error.
Is it an error of the patch 2.1? That's strange...

Try downloading the patch again. In the worst case you can extract the txt and correct the error manually.

There is only one "bg mhal_2co,42" in the whole script.

or maybe someone can send you a nscript.dat that doesn't have that error...

Witch of Uncertainty · 2010-10-18, 13:23

Well, I ended up reinstalling the game, and downloaded the installer patch this time. Same error, same place. :[

chronotrig · 2010-10-18, 13:34

We've spotted the problem. We'll have a fix up soon.

Witch of Uncertainty · 2010-10-18, 13:42

Wow, that's quick. Thank you.

chronotrig · 2010-10-18, 16:33

Here's the fix.
Umineko Chiru Episode 6 v2.2: [Installer] [No-install]

The links on the website have been updated too.

Witch of Uncertainty · 2010-10-18, 17:19

Thank you!

Hello, I've been reading your translations from episode1 to 4 and never had any problems, but now it seems that my safefile for EP4 is corrupted. It loads and when the moment as i see Battler it closes.
I did not read trough the 250 pages and the search failed on me too.
The crash is

Spoiler:

Is there any solution on this? Or maybe anyone could provide a safegame near to the said point?

Thanks in advance!

shikitohno · 2010-10-20, 02:01

I'm so excited to see that EP 7 has started to get translated. I'm still going to be importing my copy from Japan though (well, for EP 8, already have the rest), just because I know things play nicely with wine that way, and I like having my physical copy. Can't wait to see how the story goes from the last episode. Guess I better start saving my money to preorder EP 8 now, too, huh? Unless the schedule suddenly changes, should be out around Dec. 28-30, no?

Also, any plans to translate the PS3 remake, or would it even be technically feasible to do a patch for it? If it's in the works, I need to start setting aside money for a PS3 now, too.

Witch of Uncertainty · 2010-10-20, 07:42

It's definetely not in the works, yet, but fans are still desperately trying to make it happen.

Yuhime · 2010-10-20, 08:39

Hey, I solved the crash problem by buying a new computer. And it works =)

Thanks for helping me, but really, nothing works on that old computer...

zibbazabba905 · 2010-10-21, 07:05

In my half sleep I just thought of something...
If Umineko gets localized to America, won't there be a CaD letter given to Witch Hunt before episode 8 gets translated?

Not if the company in question chooses to work with Witch Hunt on the translation.

sona-nyl · 2010-10-21, 09:20

I don't think there would be anyway, 07thexpansion has said that they allow people to edit their games, when mangagamer realeased Higurashi the Sonozaki sisters were still allowed to work with their translation.
