==Chinese version== | |||
Several additional potential crash points were added when Oni was localized into Chinese. As explained [[OBD:Text encoding#Invalid EUC-CN input|HERE]], various untranslated strings will blam! Oni if it encounters them, and this is the cause of most crashes listed below. | |||
*If the graphics quality is too high, you will probably crash on level-load. The quality setting may need to be Superlow (the lowest setting) to work, but it's not consistent and sometimes a notch or two higher will work. | |||
*Entering any cheat code on the [[Data Comlink]] screen will crash Oni because none of the cheat strings were translated. | |||
*The Daodan DLL contains a feature for always showing the name and current ammo of a weapon on the ground. It's controlled by the flag "newweap" in daodan.ini. This feature is on by default but will cause a crash as soon as you maneuver over a dropped weapon or even drop your existing weapon. | |||
*Turning on Developer Mode will result in text printing to the console which will probably crash the game. | |||
*This one is not a crashing bug (at least, not right away), but if you remove/rename intro.bik so that it doesn't play at startup, you may see garbled text in-game. | |||
