[MSFS2020] Problem of settings not being reflected

[flare_alfred]

I clicked the apply button to trigger the issue and repeated the process at least three times.
I have confirmed that the timestamp of the log file is the timestamp of the test immediately after it was run.

Your log still has no errors and I don't know which timestamps in the log you are referring to, since the log doesn't have any timestamps.

[flare_alfred]

I don't understand what you mean.
The log has a timestamp that matches the time I started MSFS in my tests.

"log started on Mon Mar 24 12:23:22 2025"

Are you saying I didn't test it?

Thanks.

[virtuali]

I meant you could refer to timestamps of the individual lines, not just the starting time.

[flare_alfred]

To summarize your opinion, this error is an unknown phenomenon, and no matter how many times the test is repeated, the error is not recorded in the log, nor are the timestamps of each line recorded, so the cause cannot be determined.
In other words, does this mean that the problem I am having cannot be fixed?

Until you can provide with an error, I can't even being to understand the issue. Nobody else reported it. Are you using a non-Western version of Windows perhaps ?

[flare_alfred]

Yes, I am using Japanese Windows.
Is the sound not working issue the same?

Yes, I am using Japanese Windows.
Is the sound not working issue the same?

Yes, very likely. We'll probably fix all these issues with non-Western windows for the next major update, which will move the whole code to Python 3, which is natively all Unicode. In the meantime, try the option to set the "Language for non-Unicode application" to English in the Windows regional settings.
