I found a solution for those getting stuck at the loading screen.

To tackle this annoying problem, you just need to change the folder name:
Path.of.Kung.Fu.v.6.0.3 -> Path Of Kung Ku

Game directory:
Path.of.Kung.Fu.v.6.0.3
-game
--launcher.exe
--daojianjianghulu.exe
--else
-Igg documents

The problem should be resolved if you change the folder name. I do not know if this solution works for you, at least it works for me.

Enjoy!

English not supported. Perhaps sometime in the future the dev can start with an English Interface translation (Easiest and least expensive). If a fan base develops and increases, perhaps English Subtitles can be added (Most difficult and most expensive). See my explanation about translation.

Don't want to wait for a proper English Translation of a non-English supported game but want to play the game now?
You can try to use the freeware "LunaTranslator" combination text hooker (text grabber) and language translator application (GitHub page | Download page) to machine translate or AI translate the game's native text into English (Note: Machine translation is 1:1, word for word translation. Some ideas may get "lost in the translation". AI translation attempts to mimic a natural speaker's translation of a language into English (I haven't tried this method yet)).


See the verbose "How to" demo video posted by "Daiya" on YouTube (Note: From her dialogue in the video, Daiya seems to be a teenage girl, so try to bear with the "quirkiness" of her dialogue with the viewer [you]. She set LunaTranslator to use AI translation [See the improved English translated, purple text in the screenshot]).

If you're having problems with how to set up LunaTranslator before launching a VN then watch "superange128"'s finely detailed tutorial video on YouTube! I have set the link to advance to the precise pos in the video where he begins to explain how to set up LunaTranslator.

In the past, I personally have used the AGTH (Anime Games Text Hooker application with the Atlas Japanese-English translator application) to try to play untranslated Japanese H-games with machine translation and just discovered this combination text hooker and translator application that supports AI translation (An improvement over machine translation) so, if you have any in-depth questions then it's best to visit the dev, "HIllya51"'s Q&A page on GitHub.



For those desiring an English Translation of the game, see the dev's official response (Posts #1 & #2) dated November 6 of this year, in this game's Steam Discussions pages. Unfortunately, due to limited resources and the complexity of this game's story, it would be better for those non-Chinese speakers who wish to play this Early Access game now to try to use LunaTranslator for English translation. It will be a long while before this game can be officially and properly translated into English.

EARLY ACCESS
English expected possible in September

when i launch the game, a notification pops up asking me to log in to steam for update or check firewall, and then it turns off

Steam page states english is not supported.
