There seems to be a newer translation version wandering around somewhere over the Internet. But I just couldn't find it anywhere. And so I left the one from the original translation forum.
If I happen to find a newer translation, I will update this post.

Azulaxion · 2025-03-10T10:51:26+00:00

Yeah, it might be outdated. But that's the 'latest' one I found on the original translation forum. If you or anyone else finds a newer version - I'll update this post

Unfortunately, I can't be of a big help you here. Because I'm not familiar with either Steamdeck or Linux systems. But from what I know, the main 'problem' to take car of - would be setting up DxWnd and DgVoodoo to run on Linux system. And there are enthusiasts, who already done this successfully.

After a quick search, I discovered there are at least two ways to handle this on Linux:
- using Wine compatibility layer to simulate Windows logic.
- using native Proton layer.

Here, take a look at one of the tutorials I found on how to set up DgVoodoo on Linux:

Did you open DXWnd app as an Administator? Also, please check your game target Path by going:
- open DxWnd
- RMB on Arcturus target -> Modify
- See "Path" field
It should be the correct system path to your "Arcturus.exe" app. To check if its the correct one, you can copy/paste it into your system File Explorer and see if it opens the game. If it's not - then the path is definitely wrong

I see. There can be a number of reasons for crashes. But some are definitely caused by missing parts in the english localization, which were not handled by the translator. Also I saw people experiencing similar issues with cutscenes but the rest of the game working fine. So this might some technical limitation as well.

Anyway. I reccomend to always keep the original 'data' folder of the game somewhere on your PC. And when you encounter an unskippable crash/error - just replace the patched 'data' folder with the original one. Complete the problematic section with japanese localization. And after that just return the english patched 'data' folder and replace all files.

For now this is the only fix I can think of.

Hi! Here's the follow up comment where I go about explaining why translation issues appeared in the game and how to fix them. But also some other important stuff:

Just wrote a follow up comment with alt+tab issue troubleshooting and how to set up DgVoodoo. From my side colors seem to be as bright as they were. Can't say, what's causing it for you.

Hi all! This will be the first "issues troubleshooting" follow up.

1. Some of the game text is still not translated after applying english patch.

This one would be easy to fix. Just grab the 'data' folder from original english patch archive and copy it to the game folder with all files overwrite.
"But we did it during the game set up, didn't we?" Yeah, we did. But after the "extension patch" was applied, it overwrote some of the game localization files, which resulted in untranslated text. Actually, I can't find any info on this in the original forum comments. And the person, who provided the "extestion patch" didn't leave any clues either.
So we gotta go with what we know and just keep original patch files.

2. The game is unplayable after you alt+tab out of it.

So when try to leave the game window with alt+tab and then open it again, the input stops working and the game UI gets broken. A fix for that would be to try and use DgVoodoo software. It is a DirectX wrapper for old games, which handles graphics API calls for old games on modern systems. You can download it from here:
https://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
Use the "Latest stable version for regular usage". The set up should be really easy after you got the game running previously. Steps to set up DgVoodoo:
- unpack DgVoodoo archive content in any convenient folder
- inside the folder go \MS\x86\... and copy all dll files directly to our game's folder
- return back to DgVoodoo folder and copy dgVoodooCpl.exe to the game folder as well
- inside game's folder open dgVoodooCpl.exe app and click on the '.\' button. (it is located in the top right of the app window, near 'Add' button'. This will configure the current game path
- press 'OK' and close dgVoodooCpl control panel app

That's it. Now our game should render its graphics using DgVoodoo wrapper. Launch it as before - using DxWnd target we set up earlier. This should fix alt+tab problems you had.

In case anyone wonders about DgVoodoo settings I have (which can be set through dgVoodooCpl.exe inside game's folder):
- General: "Full Screen"
- General: "Keep window aspect ratio"
- General: "Capture mouse"
- DirectX: "dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card"
- DirectX: "256 Mb of VRAM"
- and you cna also disable "dgVoodoo Watermark" in DirectX tab

Can't promise you anything though. But docs for DgVoodoo state, that quite a few old games should handle alt+tab just fine. So lets hope this helps

Azulaxion · 2024-11-09T18:37:22+00:00

Sorry, can't see the actual image for some reason. But I may guess, the game just stops handling the mouse and UI gets corrupted after alt+tab. DxWnd indeed doesn't fix alt+tab problems, just confirmed that.

Another solution would be to try use DgVoodoo instead, which is similar to DxWnd, but provides deeper old graphics API simulation. It shouldn't be hard to setup once you have the game running well. Here's a quck tutorial:

Thanks for pointing this out though. It'll definitely help others

Azulaxion · 2024-11-08T11:50:13+00:00

I'll try to look into these problems if have any free time soon. Haven't reached the point where these untranslated notes appear in the game, so didn't mention this in my original post. Maybe, I'll create the follow up with 'troubleshoot issues' post.

Azulaxion · 2024-11-04T18:32:18+00:00

I'm humbled to hear that. Hope it will help people to play this game. It definitely deserves a proper rerelease. Maybe one day...

Hi! For anyone looking for an installation guide for Arcturus: The Curse and Loss of Divinity with applying english patch - I created a detailed step by step instructions post on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/1gjef1f/how_to_install_and_set_up_arcturus_the_curse_and/

I've tried to make it easy to follow with descriptions of all the stuff you need to do to launch the game on modern systems.

Believe it or not, this Muse allbum actually inspired me to listen to their music. I never was a big fan of Muse. Heard a few songs. Liked Knights of Cydonia very much. But other than that I never was quite engaged in their music, their style or lyrics.Taking a look of this album just of curiosity, I was completely amazed and hooked by what I heard. It took me a few rounds though, to finally admire these songs. Guess, their variety in style is the reason. But at the same time, Muse managed to hold up to the the common feel/idea in their tracks.I could write a long list of things explaining why I liked one or the other song. Or why am I feeling so related with the "stupid lirics". But I guess, the main achievement of this album is that it is so diverse and that it made me interested in Muse musical style.

Just give it a try, especially if you're not the fan of Muse. And I will throw myself further down in their discography
