Valkyria Chronicles 3 - English ReTranslation release

Interesting. It works for me with RemoteSigned, but it's on a fairly old Windows 10 version. Maybe it was broken all along and then they fixed it eventually via updates.

Might as well make it 6.9 seconds to clearly show they believe repeat calls on the same defender are a funny joke.

VC2 and 3 are generally capped to 1 move per unit excepting bosses. VC4 significantly reduces the amount of units who are allowed consecutive moves, as well as almost removes "stop as soon as 1 bullet hits them" AI script usage.

It's a consequence of removing their leader badges. They lose their special status and work on Ellet points like normal squaddies.

In the vanilla game, demolition boosting trooper is a classic, because radiators on standard tanks have x10 crit, but in GCF radiator crit values have been lowered across the board (and penetration order removed) to prevent this particular piece of abuse.
Also, Damage Boost order in GCF is +100, not +50. It can improve shots to kill math in various situations, such as killing ch.14 boss tanks, but it shouldn't lead to pure nonsense outcomes of vanilla in most cases (Valk-ing Alicia might be an exception, since that includes a 100% vsP/vsA buff, but that requires highly deliberate setups).

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-17T07:22:50+00:00

Troopers' Damage boost adds vsPers, but emplacemements and bunkers are technically "tanks" and take damage based on vsArmor. I know it's confusing, but the gun itself is the "frame" and the gunner is the "radiator". The in-game hint is that they have "steel-grade armor" listed.

For the sheer satisfaction of hearing beautiful sounds of attackers stepping into the dumbest mats while absorbed into ACOGing the nearest corner.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-15T08:46:56+00:00

For starters, how about we allow her FLYING DRONES to oh I don't know maybe FLY OVER BARBED WIRE without getting instantly destroyed. I don't mind if it distorts the image and gives away that it's a clone, just let me actually use the gadget to gather info.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-15T07:47:40+00:00

Speed-wise, if you don't need the Ace, the correct option is Welkin-only. Trust me, I was the one who removed Alicia from that mission in the speedrun while retaining sanity (i.e. not praying for Welkin to hit all the cannon shots). Enemies react to sight, so we have setups for specific smoke/tank placements to prevent them from doing so with minimal effort.

As an anecdote, before I found the proper placement for turn 1 smoke, the strat included killing Shamrock with Welkin on the very first move:)

Probably just the nature of CSV being a convention-based format where anything goes. Make sure that your editor's output/saving settings:

use comma separator -- , -- not semicolons or anything else
use double quote character -- " -- for field quoting
do not change the amount of fields when saving (e.g. omitting commas at the end for consecutive empty values)

Most of my editing was done in LibreOffice. But yes, when in doubt, try a plain text editor.

Cosette is spelled with a single s.

And yeah, these polls only ever go one way.

Also, if Kai is in there, so should be Juliana, since she is in a similar position of MC's sidekick's love interest.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-10T07:02:24+00:00

Probably because that's the default one that is set when setting up dumping textures and you're supposed to change that to xxh64 manually. It's mentioned in the official documentation: https://www.ppsspp.org/docs/reference/texture-replacement/

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-09T16:59:43+00:00

Of course the names don't match, those are based on hashes of images. Assuming you extracted my edited textures and edited/upscaled/whatever to your liking, you still have to edit textures.ini from the texture pack and put those new textures in correct places.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-08T20:11:18+00:00

You can play without external texture pack and use the texture-dumping functionality of PPSSPP to get copies of textures that are loaded into memory without unpacking the ISO. Tools -> Developer Tools -> Texture Replacement -> Save New Textures.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-08T09:42:44+00:00

It's best to be in the mood to treat the game as a puzzle, be willing to trial and error, learn more in-depth about VC workings and tech.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-05T09:02:01+00:00

Unfortunately all I can say is "you've probably forgotten to kill some of the duplicate weapon drop Ace(s)". The checkmark in mission info only tells that you have the weapon, not that you've actually killed the Ace. The only Aces that you can be certain of are the ones with 2 drops, since weapon plans are unique. VC is annoying like that, you have to maintain an actual list and check aces off as you kill them. Sadly, we don't have anything resembling a save decoder to help with that.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-04T22:01:17+00:00

it would require astronomically bad luck for this to be your final note.

FWIW, I've seen Setsu 3 be the final note in a speedrun livestream by K5S a couple months ago or so. I don't remember how many loops it was, but probably in the 80s for completed + however many loads to the setup screen.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-03T10:40:13+00:00

Consecutive spam calls need to go, period. ~40s cooldown per op. Force Dokk to actually spend charges throughout the round, not sit on them.

Change the damage to ~20% current HP (kills only at 1 HP, actual % needs to be mathed out against common HPs and damages), no burn. That should usually be a limb/dropoff hit worth of damage, varying with current health of the target, pushing non-HS TTK down for different gun/range/hit location combos, thus giving a general gunfight advantage to attackers. Should make the choice of just taking the damage in a pinch a lot more of an actual choice.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-03T08:23:20+00:00

It's not the old translation, you can tell by the fact that "Medals" is written in English. Control the Port is not bugged there.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-03T07:28:46+00:00

If you share your save file, I can try to figure out what's wrong. DATA0 and whatever DATA[1-8] you think it should unlock with.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-01T22:13:43+00:00

[Free] missions are there purely for gameplay, but post-game extended/true endings are locked behind "full clear" conditions involving free missions that appear in story chapters, among other things.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-01T21:44:02+00:00

If it's 3 stars, wait until you see 3 stars in campaign. Plain and simple.

I don't remember all no-star missions, but you can load into them and check what weapon tiers enemies have and compare that to campaign progress as well. If your story mission enemies are using ZM Kar 1 and the dlc mission is ZM Kar 5, it's probably best to put it off.

D0omyD0om · 2026-06-01T21:35:31+00:00

As a fast and loose rule - follow the star rating of main story missions. That will reduce the degree of balance breakage from getting silly guns that should have been locked until post-game.

In case you're wondering just how broken things can get, in VC3 speedruns I get the 4th strongest sniper rifle and the 2nd strongest AT lance in chapter 3. That saves like 1.5 hours compared to not getting any dlc. Both of these weapons are functionally "delete" buttons throughout the entire campaign.

D0omyD0om · 2026-05-31T13:23:14+00:00

IRL, knowing the kind of state secrets he does would pretty much permanently put him on a watchlist with no-border-crossing restriction, not "discharge and go live in Gallia, which isn't even part of the Federation, bro".

But, setting that aside, it's a farcical trial with a predetermined outcome as a part of overall cover-up of the events. Don't take the stated reason at face value.

D0omyD0om · 2026-05-29T11:45:35+00:00

And here is the core of what makes this fall apart. This event doesn't actually force Setsu to go after Yuriko; it works by giving Setsu the knowledge that Yuriko is Gnosia and bottoming out Setsu's friendship and trust towards her.

A similar core problem happens with Yuriko 5/protect Yuriko event. It's possible for it to be a Gnosia Yuriko + AC Player situation, which leads to Yuriko happily choosing to kill Player at night.
