Description

Soulworker Patcher was made to easily download and patch latest translations into your Soulworker Client using the files from your client. This makes it compatible with almost any version, even if the translation is outdated. It is still recommended to always get the latest translations.

The translations are downloaded from the SWHQ Translation team and the original files are backed up, they will be restored after the client closes.

Soulworker Patcher requires the game to be installed.

Korean server is not supported anymore because they do file checking and replace translations and no easy bypass for it is known.

Functions

  • Back ups the original files and replaces them with the downloaded translations
  • Auto-updates the Soulworker client when it's outdated. (JP region only)
  • Direct login for faster startup. (JP region only, for KR region it only opens Stove)
