I think some changes have been made on the TW server?

I modified meta with v0.7a5 dev launcher, but the game doesn't detect the files. No crashes too.

I also tried modifying meta on v0.7a4, also doesn't detect. No crashes, the game still in Chinese.

Modifying meta should work perfectly fine on any server on any Launcher version.
Are you sure that you understand what it does?
1) Modify meta, so that it will look for a certain files in the game folder, instead of the game files.
2) Launcher will show if you've modified it successfully.
3) Move files modified in meta to the respective folder path in the game folder.

Tell me what files you modify during step 1, what shows step 2 and what do you do during step 3.

This is what I did after Taiwan maintenance.

All 4 in prestringtable doesn't work either? That's interesting.
TW Volunteer has already send me the meta, so I'll take a look on it later today. I'll let you know if I'll need anything else.

Just an update in this thread:
I've send test build with instructions to volunteers, to induct some tests.

From the first look, nothing changed in the global matter of scheme, so that means that either devs closed the hole and I'll need to work on the Repack patching sooner than I expected, or it has something to deal with KR translation files (every client has KR as base, but TW now has not only that but also...how I would call it...fully-featured KR translation for the game, so maybe the language will be selectable in the future? just like the NPCs voices).

Another update for those who follow this issue - we have verified and confirmed that Force patching and everything else works perfectly fine. The issue lies in Game failing to read xlsm files only (it tries to, but fails) and currently we have no idea why that happens (trying to find that out).

I received complaints that the files created in your program do not work, but these files worked for me and for my friends. Most of the complaints were from players who played in Korea.

Hmm, had no complains from KR so far, so what you're saying is that for some KR players it work for some it doesn't? Have they tried with force patching?

Yes, it turns out that way.

No. I didn't ask them to do this.

Hi there, is there any solution for this yet? I am also getting the same result as Azukai.
