Summer~Life in the Countryside~: Giant X Error (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Wrote this solution that worked for me in another thread: change the computer date and time settings of your computer to japanese (only the time and date will change and you will still have the old language) in windows…
How to fix it
There is no confirmed fix yet, but you can try the following workaround reported by players experiencing the black background and giant x text box error upon hitting start:
- Open the classic control panel on your computer.
- Navigate to time and region.
- Select the option to change the data format.
- Alternatively, on Windows 10, go to Start, Settings, Time & language, and Date & time.
- Locate the formats setting and change it to Japanese (Japan).
Please note that this will only allow the game to work as long as your computer settings remain set to Japanese.
If it still doesn't work
- Using Locale Emulator may not work for this issue.
What players reported
When I hit start I get the black background with the text box and a giant x, I know it's a localization problem but the Locale Emulator doesn't seem to work... any advice?

Thanks for the help. I found the option under the classic control panel -> time and region -> change data format. What strange behaviour...
