I. Getting the game
This is the first problem that people encounter. This game is, was and will be hosted on my personal Google Drive account. The game has no website nor an official downloadm irror, because getting a website up and running is not a trivial task in CHina.
So here goes:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d-E8kE … sp=sharing
This is the "RAR" archive. When extracting you will be presnted with many files and folders. You are interested in two files
A: 1942(炼狱征途).exe - Main game exe.
B: 语音设置.exe - SAPI setting interface (only if you speak Chinese).

II: Getting the Locale emulator
Locale Emulator is required for the games or software that have been written in the Easy language. This is because EYuyan uses GB2314 encoding to write text and our systems cannot use this encoding because they are not Chinese.
Download Locale emulator
https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emula … .4.1.0.zip
Extract and run the LEInstaller file. Install for current user or for all users. No matter.

III. Preparing the NVDA screen reading
I do not use NVDA. All information from this section is gathered from observations of the players who have played successfully.
A: Translate
https://github.com/yplassiard/nvda-tran … nvda-addon

Install as any other NVDA module, press NVDA+CTRL+SHIFT+T to toggle.

B: Clipboard reader
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xno1usfo8o8j6 … addon?dl=1
Install, no big philosophy.
IV. Launch the game
Select the game .exe file. COOntext menu, locale emulator, RUn with application profile.
Select "Chinese, simplified" as language, click "save".
The game might prompt to install Direct Play. Affirm and await.
When the game loads, start it normally (CTRL+N). Read the story with standard reading sommands in your screenreading. When you are placed on the game map, press CTRL+F11 to toggle the clipboard output. This will make it so that all output spoken by SAPI will be redirected to the clipboard.

I hope this guide is better than my previous one.

Excellent guide and funny signature, however you put in a capital h for China as well as a few other little mistakes. Did you write it all in english? Or did you do it in Polish then translated it? Just curious

Bringing this back to say that this doesn't work on my system for some random reason. I set the location to cimplified chinese but when running with that profile, it still shows the weird symbols you get when the characters don't encode properly. What could I do about this?
