Simplified Chinese Language pack needed

Technical Support
1

I am an international student in the United States, and I purchased Diablo3 on the US server. I want to play in my native language, Simplified Chinese, but the version I bought on the international server cannot change the language to Simplified Chinese(Traditional Chineses is available). There is a big difference between the dubbing and text of Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, while playing D3 chinese version in the United States also has other difficulties such as delay. So I want to ask if there is a suitable solution such as a language pack to solve this problem?

I’m not sure if this downloads a different language pack yet (still dl’ing), but this seemingly downloads something:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --game=d3cn "--gamepath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo III" --install

d3cn has the name Diablo 3 China and installs into a separate 暗黑破坏神III folder (doesn’t re-use the D3 folder in gamepath)

I’m still curious about this!

Install:

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --game="d3cn" --install

Update/Validate Data:

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --game="d3cn" --repair

If installed to default Program Files (x86)\暗黑破坏神III, you likely need UTF-8 enabled on Windows:

  • Control Panel (old win32/non-Modern UI)
  • Region → Administrative → Change System Locale
  • [x] Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support

Launch (have Battle.net open for log-in SSO; -w windowed):

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\暗黑破坏神III\x64\Diablo III64.exe" OnlineService.SSO=true -launch -w

That’s as far as I get though (seems US/EU/KR servers don’t accept the newer 2.8.1 d3cn client while d3 is at 2.8.0; it mentions there’s a new patch available → exits back to Bnet launcher, but doesn’t patch anything)

zhTW and zhCN have different sound files and main menu text implying it’s different enough (I’m interested in playing with CN voices but mainly want the Simplified text; I’m more familiar with Simplified vs Traditional)

  • Can also install or move later to a plaintext folder like Program Files (x86)\d3cn and use --gamepath:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --game="d3cn" --gamepath="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\d3cn" --repair
