Can GameBuff Installation Path Contain Chinese Characters?

Yes, the GameBuff installer fully supports installation paths containing Chinese characters. While the software itself is highly compatible with various encodings, some older standalone game engines have poor support for non-ASCII characters. To completely prevent the trainer components from failing to locate the game, we still strongly recommend using an all-English installation path. Here are three technical recommendations for choosing your installation path: 1. Recommended Default Path: We suggest installing GameBuff in the root directory of a non-system drive, such as D:\GameBuff. An all-English path ensures precise driver injection, especially when running classic single-player titles that are over a decade old. 2. Avoid Deep Subdirectories: Keep your installation path as short as possible. Excessive path depth (exceeding 256 characters) may trigger Windows file system errors. We recommend keeping the folder structure to three levels or fewer. 3. Permission Requirements: Regardless of whether the path contains Chinese characters, please ensure that the GameBuff folder has "Full Control" permissions to prevent the system from blocking driver files.
