In-game text doesn't play in Planetarian installed from retail KN purchase.

Hi, I just puzzled out the Kinetic Novels download site and bought a nice new DL copy of Planetarian after finding out about your translation patch from Wikipedia.

I installed it and then installed your patch, and the UI shows up correctly in English. However, when I start the game, it just displays two periods on a blank field and is stuck there. I can still return to the main menu and such, but the in-game text appears to be broken. Before I ran the patch, I played the intro to the novel in the original Japanese and it played fine.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or if it is a new DRM issue and unfixable, can I obtain a transcript of the translation at least (though I suspect it's not since the UI comes up fine)? I don't mind playing it in Japanese if I can at least have a translation handy, though I'd obviously rather play your patch, of course.

Thanks!

if its the same engine (RealLive)as the CD version you might be able to use the method described here.

I don't know much about the DRM versions (ordered the CDROM from Himeyashop)... but that's my best guess ^^;

Hrm, how do I determine if it's using RealLive or not? I don't see anything in the folders to indicate if it is, is there a file that I should look for that would give it away? I do know the install went differently from as described--the .exe I DL'd from KN simply unpacked a set of cab files (if I recall correctly), and bam, it was set up and ready to go. Surprised me that it was that streamlined.

All Kinetic Novels run on RealLive, though they may run on different versions of RealLive.

Ok, I'll try it ASAP then, thanks!
