It's been a while since I've played BR(and since I've visited BSW, but I plan to stay this time lol) so I decided to launch BR and update it but I keep getting this error "data/figure_etc7.bin" followed by some japanese...
anyone

Change the timezone on your computer to Japanese time.

seriously...I can't believe that actually worked... XD
Thanks

You can thank Morino, he's the one that said it in the cbox. :3

I have to agree with the suggestion that this is a step to make it harder for the non-natives to play. I would not be at all surprised if this becomes the norm with updates. Kinda stinks; after all, I would find it hard to believe that the non-Japanese players cause any any problems. We add to the size of the playing audience, and (looking at the small army in front of me on the desk) I think we help with sales as well.
Ah well, keep your fingers crossed.

we also add to their server load, and a lot of asian countries are very nationalistic when it comes to, well, anything. i used to play a Korean game online that you pretty much had to proxy into because they would regularly go trough and ban foreign IPs.

somehow, I may be one of the causes...

that's the first thing that went through my mind, but they'll have do more than that to keep me from playing BR
