Installing unofficial translation patch(Optional)
If you use this patch make sure to only use it when it's up to date with the current game version!
You can turn off the patch with the included "disable mods.bat"
1: Download the patch here : https://gitgud.io/kordny/bonga-english-translation-patch (or direct link here)
2: Extract the patch into a fresh folder and start up "install" or "install.bat"
3:As long as you already installed and launched the game before, the installer should know where the game is installed.
At this point press "Y" and if everything goes well you can now start up the game.
The same process should be used when the patch gets an update (which will usually happen after the game gets an update too).
Trouble Shooting
I'm only getting bots after waiting out the whole timer!
The game has a new player system for matchmaking, but there's usually not enough new players for it. After a few wins against bots you should be getting games against real people.
Game launcher won't load?
Make sure your time/date are correct. You'll need to make sure its properly synchronized with a online server such at time.windows.com
Stuck on the Bench test screen?
You might have to change your date and time format to Japanese(Japan) or any English one. So far users from Brazil, Argentina, EU had to change this setting get past this screen.
With some date formats game might also freeze on the title screen.
(5-1654-5011) Error while updating
This issue is probably caused by not installing the game on the C: drive. (Thanks Konami)
Errors while updating can also happen due to network problems, like with the server. (Thanks Konami)
Game freezes with a black screen / no longer goes past the network test with the translation patch!
The game has updated and the patch is no longer up to date, disable it and wait for an update.
