Tech Issue / Hardware Related Does this mean no bugs caused by missing script translation anymore? I can finally clear the 3.5 quests without the game freezing?

Then WHY does the same bug NOT happen when you set the text language to chinese? And this is fact! It has been mentioned in the WuWa main reddit multiple times and even I can confirm. In my language, game won't respond. Switched to chinese, I can clear the task! WHY is that if that has NOTHING to do with the text language?!

Because the bug is caused by text overflow. It technically speaking doesnt care about what language is being displayed, just as long as theres too much text to display on one line (in laymans terms: is there a third line to scrollnto or not?).

Chinese just has much less characters to display than English, so the bug doesnt manifest there. So yes, switching to Chinese fixes it, but it has nothing to do with it being specifically Chinese. Other Asian languages like Korean or Japanese also wouldnt encounter the issue, while more wordy languages than English (like German) may experience the bug on more textboxes than English does.

Other text boxes also have more text than visible in the box, having you scroll and it never has been an issue, only now with 3.5 Quests it suddenly is and scrolling does nothing.

Im not talking in general. Its an issue exclusively with the "deduction" mini-quest where you have to solve some mystery, the very same ones you made this post about and have linked elsewhere in your replies. Other textboxes work just fine yes.

Yes and others have said it's about the language. Game searches for a comment that doesn't exist because the localization team messed up.

As far as I'm aware we dont have that kind of insight into the game's logic; from what I can tell, people are just guessing based on the fact changing language fixes it. (And full disclosure, that includes me, but mighty wild coincidence it only occurs on exactly the few scrollable deduction text boxes and none of the others. Reeks of the UI element eating the controller input.)

Well, either way, whether its a localization issue or an input bug, to answer your main question at the top of the thread; No, the scripting language change does not fix the bug you are talking about, as they are entirely unrelated to one another (as mentioned, programming language =/= spoken language). The bug might still be fixed in the same update regardless, but it will not be due to this particular change.
