BUG 1:
When you launch omwlauncher.exe it prompts you to find "data files" folder .You cant select this folder if there are cyrillic characters in the folder's path.

BUG 2:
After you select "data files" folder and press the play button openmw.exe crashes because it cant find launcher.cfg and openmw.cfg. These 2 files are created in a folder with unreadable path "Documents and Settings\user\Ìîè äîêóìåíòû\My Games\openmw".

But you can try :)

Try to launch omwlauncher.exe with win1251 encoding

Code: Select all

c:\<path_to_openmw>\omwlauncher.exe --encoding=win1251

No that command-line argument only works for openmw.exe.
I'll look into this bug, thanks for reporting!

EDIT: Looks like I should use QString::fromLocal8Bit() when checking if the Choose button should be enabled, as the cyrillic path gets ignored now.
