Hello, we noticed reports that the Chinese localization mods have broken at some point and we're investigating what exactly went wrong. Could you let us know at what date or update version number you noticed the localization broke? What exactly broke in the localization mod?

We need the Chinese character set

The game used to be able to work with them. One of the updates broke it, but they don't know how or when that happened.

This probably happened due to the various upgrades they implemented for the sake of performance. Without knowing what of these systems excludes the use of Chinese characters using UTF-8 (as far as I know), combing through the sea of information about the various implementations could take a lot of time.

Anyone that can identify the update that Chinese characters stopped working with can help bring the characters back to DW2.

Please try the new 1.2.5.9 Public Beta, which specifically includes these changes:

LOCALIZATION SUPPORT
- added Chinese font bundle to game (may need further work to reenable Chinese text)
- combined with the fix for Harmony support, we expect this will allow many localization mods that previously worked to work again

Calling this out here from the latest public beta update released today.

MODDING
re-enabled full Chinese language support by updating both DW2 and the DW2ChsPatch mod. These changes further enable Harmony modding in DW2
the Chinese language mod can serve as a template for other languages that use custom character-sets and fonts, e.g. Cyrillic languages, Japanese, Korean, etc
Localization modders: please ask if you'd like support to get this working for your language
