Features

What it is

This patch is composed of translated textures to be used by the assets modifier of KCCacheProxy.
It also supports raw text patching, such as ship names, quests, flavor text etc.
Showcase in images (Screenshots from v3.17.1 to v3.22.1)

How it works

Unlike other patching methods like MITM, POI's "My Cache" folder or ShimakazeGo's "Cache Mode hack",
KCCacheProxy compares the original sprites with the sprites in sprite sheets,
and injects the patched resources into these sprite sheets on the fly.
That means patches using this method will not break after updates to the game.

English Patch specificities and disclaimer

This patch does not interfere with any of the files that communicate directly with the game servers.
Everything that is altered by the patch is local: english textures will be stored locally on your PC,
and raw text is patched just before it gets rendered on your screen.
There is currently nothing within the KanColle client to detect such changes.
Modifiying game assets is technically against the Terms of Service, so use at your own risk.

What is currently translated

Currently, everything that is essential to comfortable gameplay,
or that is very often seen in the game, is translated. This even includes event flavor text.

English Patch Manager

The quick updater v0.6.0 lets you easily update the patch
without resorting to installing git. It also clears the browser cache for you!
It is now also possible to launch "_enable_update_checker.bat" to be
immediately notified of a patch update upon launching your PC!
You can disable it at any time.

To Amelek for the chuuha/taiha cut-in texture jigsaw splitter.
To Globalnet for the quick updater, and for general technical help.
