I am proud to announce our version 1.01 (Edited to 1.01 from 1.00 Jan21, 2010) Sengoku Rance translation patch!!
This is a full patch which translates all the text and images in the game (exceptions listed below).
The patcher/installer can:
- Install the game from the disc.
- Patch the translation over the installed game.
- Will automatically patch ver 1.04 of the game.
- Will automatically patch over any previous translation patches.
- Will keep saves from previous patches and Japanese version.
Please be aware of several known issues in the patch:
- Some country and commander names are left in Japanese to keep the game from crashing.
- “Free for all” mode may freeze on startup. Please keep restarting until it works.
- There is overflowing text in game.
- Fonts may look weird if MS Gothic and MS Mincho fonts are not installed.
- Untranslated Japanese text or SJIS characters will look garbled in the English locale.
- The installer only works on Win2000 and above due to Unicode filenames.
- Save copying from VirtualStore on Windows Vista is not supported.
- The installer renames the saves to make them compatible with the English locale. You may want to make a backup just in case.
- There have been reports of saves not appearing in other locales. If this happens, run the game using AppLocale.

If anyone is really annoyed at the occasional freezing in FFA mode and does not care about more things being untranslated, here is a patch that has names and most of the commands untranslated, while keeping the scripts in English. Just overwrite the rance7.ain in your Sengoku Rance folder with the one in the zip file.
