Hey everyone, I’m trying to run a visual novel (specifically White Album2) on Ubuntu. I’ve got the game on a CD and the installer is an executable file, so I attempted using Wine but had no luck. I even tried launching it with a Japanese locale and all, but I’m still stuck. Any ideas on how to properly run this? I’ve attached a screenshot of the error for more clues.

It sounds like your game might need a bit of extra setup for the language. If the visual novel is indeed White Album2 and has Japanese text, try starting Wine with the Japanese locale by using something like ‘LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine yourgame.exe’. This should help Wine load the correct fonts and settings for the game. Also, sharing your log files can pinpoint any additional issues if problems persist.
Yeah, setting that locale really helps with games that were designed with a Japanese setup in mind. If you notice any font errors or other odd messages in your logs, it might be another dependency that needs installing through Wine. Keep us posted on how it goes!
