Fatal Error

Post by Koffii »

So, when I try to run OpenMW on my Manjaro system, I get this very helpful error message:

As you can imagine, I'm at a loss as to what it means and how to fix it.

This is OpenMW from the Manjaro repos, running on Gnome. I don't use any exotic language settings, the system language is just english if you're wondering.

OpenMW's GUI components are English only. We have no control over what the system sends you. So that error message is coming from your system where it is trying to talk to you using whatever you have it set it, which isn't English. :)

Try to figure out which locale is your default.

I can't be much help on the technical side, but the script looks like Arabic, in case that's a useful lead for tracking down the problem.
