Thanks, man. I haven't played KanColle is such a long time so seeing how far the English patch has come since then is incredible. I got a strong hurtin' to play after watching the first episode of the new KC anime.
Dang I finnaly found the actual game, the anime adaptation was my first show geting into the anime franchise when I was just 11, thanks for giving me hope in actually playing Kancolle.

I can't thank you enough for making this guide. I'm really not tech-savvy (never done anything like this before) so a guide like yours was the only way I'd be able to play Kancolle. I set it up last night and played it all day today. Thank you.
It's wonderful to hear you've installed it smoothly and are enjoying it so much! If you haven't already, I'd warmly recommend joining the Discord if you want to talk and ask for advice to other players!
damn, it's been 2 (almost 3) years since i stop play kancolle... looking back to your video, makes me wonder if i wanna play the game again... - i wonder how's my girls are doing there... ☕
Lol i was checking my old discord discussion when i found you when we talk about kancolle together back in 2021 when i started ^^ it's fun to see that you made a guide ! :D
thank you for the guide! it should also be noted that some steps here can be completely skipped if you're already a player who has registered quite some time ago but is trying the EN patch

I hope the creator will officially release the game outside japan, azurlane is overtaking kancolle right now, alot of people didnt even know this game existed. They said s2 is announced
It's more complicated than that... the creator doesn't decide whether or not the game leaves Japan. Since it officially never left Japan, it's only natural a more accessible game would become more popular overseas; but within Japan, both games/franchises are alive and well, and indeed the fact that they announced a new KC anime shows that.
I don't want to be offensive but Azur Lane has a completely different target audience. I believe most of their audience wouldn't play Kancolle. Plus some mechanics require overhaul the game became slightly outdated in some aspects.
Thanks for this great video. I am playing Azur Lane since 1+ year but since the beginning I heard a lot of references and a lot of talks that somehow mentioned Kancolle. I had no idea then. One day a person told me that "Azur Lane is actually a ripoff of Kancolle. You can find everyone playing it because no one can play Kancolle as it's region locked. No one can access it outside Japan". I was so curious about playing Kancolle. Saving your video to 'watch later' playlist for now. After I build my new PC, I will play both Azur Lane Crosswaves and Kancolle.
@@tinmarx567 I once tried it with my friend's pc with my controller. This was after I wrote this comment. Now only Kancolle is in my list. Everything is great but the controls seems clunky. Idk who I have to shoot. The game was literally visible confusion. I won't play it. How can I when it's a front scrolling game instead of side scrolling and enemy is invisible and also paid too. F azur lane, I will play Kancolle only. Seems you were really right. It sure is disappointing
@@Oradimi I'm already in it. XD you helped me once before but i've got a new laptop since, and so i found this video through your discord which helped me a lot as well. Thanks for all you've done mate!
Wow, I've been trying to play the game for 2 years and I'm so happy I can play it in english. I never though a language patch for the game would exist, but here we are. btw here's 2 questions: 1. When should we use the Damecons, because you told us to lock them for later? 2. When does the summer season begin/end? Anyways, thank you for making this video!
Thanks 👍 1. Damecons (if you don't buy those in the cash shop) should only be used in very specific places in events 2. The swimsuits you mean? They usually start at mid to late July and end in some time in September If you want to ask more questions, please join the English Patch Discord linked in the description of the video. If you don't have Discord, creating an account is easy and quick, and you won't regret it! There's a bunch of beginners joining regularly, and a bunch of people to give advice!
@@Oradimi Thank you! I'll definitely ask more questions there and on the other 2 Kancolle servers! It's useful to rely on a community that has more than 9 years of experience
@@EpicGamer-yo5yt A few examples where Damecons can be used: 1. Event maps where you can abuse submarine tanking, which involves forcing certain enemy ship types (including certain bosses) that are ASW-capable to waste their turns attacking it over surface targets on your side. Damecon is used to keep your submarine safe until you reach the boss node. 2. Certain advantageous routing may require weak auxiliary ship, so it is considered acceptable to use Damecon on said ship to lessen the retreat rate. Due to the existence of repair node, example 2) may come up more often, but it's oftentimes better to just accept retreats caused by your auxiliary ship until you enter the final phase.
it's a great job you've done here, i'll play it since i'm a fan of the anime, and Metal Waltz (a kancolle but with tanks and planes instead of ships) made me want to play this game as well. Though, i must add.... for someone such as myself who just wants to play, the whole process is too long and technical. 30 minutes of downloading and installing stuff (not to mention it was sped up) would certainly kill the interest for more than one person.
Thanks! Half of the video is just explaining the game a little bit. I tried to condense things more in my most recent video to install it on Android, so I may go back to this one in the future to update and improve it! Before this, I'll try to find ways to make the process easier, as unfortunately right now it's just a bunch of bricks added on top of one another (I'm only responsible for the patch itself), and there's no other way to do it.
Kancolle is pretty rough, I feel like I need to have a large 3 ring binder complete with charts on equipment, lists of ships and construction, and maps with details on fleets to bring to certain ones.
It's a pretty complex game indeed... Thankfully, things like KC3 or the wiki help a lot with these different aspects. If you find yourself lost, feel free to join my Discord for some guidance! The link is in the description.
@@Oradimi i do like the wiki, it has been helpful for the last event of winter2022 but I have so much work to do on my ships. I didnt get past phase1 of E1 even. Still having so much trouble. I will add the discord.
Yes, here's a copy-paste of text instructions from the main KanColle Discord: In case you suddenly can't access kc via chrome anymore [because of chrome update, but most people won't notice silent chrome updates]: - check whether your address bar has a lock icon to the left of it. if yes, this is the guide for you. if it already shows "not secure", then it's caused by something else. - click lock, go to web site settings, enable insecure content - close and reopen dmm tab, kc should load now again. if it doesn't, restart browser completely technical background: - chrome is enabling the "always use secure connections" setting by default in the latest update (116), but kc doesn't support HTTPS, so the responses of the KC servers are rejected because they're insecure - you can also globally disable the setting for all of chrome, but you should probably only do this if you only use chrome for kc - if you have already manually disabled the secure connection setting at some point in the past, you should not be getting this issue Besides, I recommend joining my server for more readily available information like this.
Thanks for the great help, had to reinstall the whole thing once and verify cache once each but I finally made it through the tutorial instead of stuck on black screens. Gotta ask though, how'd you get those Ooyodo and Akashi skins...
thank for your guide, it good to be back at the game again after quite a few year. May i ask about update, so i just need to run Quick update, when there is new update, or i need to do "patch the asset" again ?
Running pre-patch all assets is mostly only useful to speed up the loadings when playing for the first time. After that, since not many textures will be updated or added anymore, just updating the patch and playing should be fine, as the new asset storage and patching will be done on the fly! Some updates have been made to the quick updater, so now it should let you clear the cache from more browsers than only Chrome, and even some commonly used standalone viewers. You're welcome btw, thank YOU for watching! Feel free to join my Discord too for updates notifications and more!
if i already have kancolle command center and i just want to play in english can i just get the proxy, patch and go from there? dont want to screw anything up...
Yes you can! You can find more details in the document I've linked in the pinned comment. If you have more questions, feel free to join the Discord as well!
So uh, I haven't logged into the game for about a week due to work and I'm catching up on events in LoL. When I tried to log into the game this morning, I don't know why it just stuck at the DMM games login (white screen). Maybe you know how to fix it, do I need to reinstall TunnelBear VPN and log in with it? Thank You
Can you please guide me again because I did exactly what you did but it doesn't work. When I checked, the game refused to connect through the proxy and kccp was not connected
There's a few outdated elements and additional steps that you may have to do now. I'd recommend to join the Discord for further instructions, but if you don't want to join the Discord, try the steps on the pinned message. I'm going to update the dead link, sorry about that.
Can I just end KCCacheProxy whenever I am not playing and start it when I play? I try to keep as less tasks running as possible. And thanks for the patch man, keep up the good work!
You can yes, but if you do, you must change back the SwitchyOmega profile to "System Proxy". Put it back to "proxy" and launch back KCCP whenever you want to play.
Hello, I have a problem that in this past 2-3 days when I played on pc it kinda take longer to get out of loading screen and sometimes it just disconnected. This doesn't happen when I play on android, but still I love top play it on PC anyway. Is there a way to fix this?
@@mrorlov2706 Honestly, I'm genuinely curious about everything you think could improve the video, so feel free to share what you have on your mind! (here or in my Discord) I know it really isn't perfect, and I've since made another video for Android that I think improved on some things, so feel free to share your thoughts on it as well 👍 I'm asking because I may release an improved version of the video in the future if too many things become outdated.
Hello, I am trying to play the game and following the video each step, but I get the blank screen. I think I did everything as shown. The Discord link is not working, someone that can help me?
Hello I followed all the steps and managed to get it done properly, and was playing it in English for a week. But afterwards it had reverted back to the usual Japanese. Do you have any idea why? I have also ran the update patch and got it updated, but it is not working. I am currently playing on Opera GX.
I've done everything but once I press the red button, nothing else loads or happens :( my time is JST, I already had nord vpn and made a new dmm account just in case I made it wrong before :\ do I need omega on for anything?
You didn't need a new DMM account honestly. Nord VPN might have problems with this, try using TunnelBear instead. SwitchyOmega needs to be on yup. When clicking on the red button, nothing happens at all? As if it just wasn't a button? That's weird... You may want to join the Discord for easier and faster support btw!
Salut Tout d'abord, merci pour ta vidéo J'ai le soucis que le jeu se lance, mais il est toujours en japonais Et si je ne suis pas sur un VPN jap, bien ca ne fonctionne pas J'ai pourtant bien suivi les étapes Une idée d'où ca peut venir?
Il est possible que KCCacheProxy ne fonctionne pas correctement ; soit t'aurais loupé une étape, soit il faut juste relancer KCCacheProxy. Hésite pas à rejoindre le Discord si t'as besoin de plus d'aide !
Unfortunately KCCP doesnt work for me anymore, I keep getting the error "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: SyntaxError: unexpected token" also after reinstalling it :(
You need to uninstall it completely before reinstalling it. Go in AppData local and roaming, and delete the KCCacheProxy folder in both locations! You can then start the installation again, and it should work 👍
Hey, I am having a problem. when registering for Kancolle ill put in all my information but nothing happens when i click the yellow button. Can you help?
Usually this happens when you're running an ad-blocker. Deactivate adblock/ublock on dmm and try again. If, and only if, it still doesn't work, some other extensions may be responsible, so you may try deactivating them all, except for KC3 and SwitchyOmega.
when i clicked the link number 9, I only had blank white screen with blue background, I have no idea what happened, I'm using old account, do you know how to fix this?
Is there a lock icon besides the adress bar? If that's the case, follow this little guide cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985644610204368976/1077341948018442290/tuto_faq.png
so i initially tried this without the cache dump, and it worked fairly well, with a bit of slower loading. but when i tried to do this with the cache dump, my browser (opera gx) gives a "no internet" error message
@@Tsunfy5050 Try running the VPN again in GotoBrowser, it might have sent you back to the server selection screen. It could also just be a very long loading, the first one can get pretty lengthy. Please join the Discord for further assistance!
nowadays I had crash with AACI I tried to install again and the CacheProxy gimme this: Cached: 55.374 files, 4.44 GB Since installation (2023-07-30): Ignored 19.312 HTTP requests and 2901 HTTPS requests. Handled 23.385 requests 22.148 found in cache 285 changed version tag, but weren't modified * 858 had to be downloaded from KC servers 94 failed to load Saved 3.47 GB of bandwidth.
If you basically just launch the game right away without doing anything else? Well first you'll need to register anyway, and then you'll need to use a Japanese VPN each time you log in. You won't get the patch, the convenient cache storage or the very useful stats and information provided by KC3.
I came back to the game after a few years, do u know how is the farm? I remember before I used a lot SS to farm in 2-4, but that doesn't exist anymore.
With the map revamp of 2018, many farming spots changed. I'd recommend joining my Discord and asking there, you're more likely to get a better answer than from myself as I'm not really the farmer type y'know
Can you join the Discord? It would be easier to help there, as I can't help without more information (like screenshots etc.) Be sure to make it clear that it's you when you join 👍
Excuse me good sir, I have succesfully installed the game, But I have this big problem The voice or the music don't play at all, instead, my Download Manager keeps downloading the music file (mp3) that's supposed to play in the game.. Can you give me any solution sir? Thanks
@@RandomWeebWojak Glad you sorted it out. I'd suggest still to join my Discord server linked above, the game mechanics go much deeper than what I described in the video, so asking questions is important 👍
hi. im a returning player (not by much) and im wondering how to transfer the game to another browser (Opera GX) without having to redownload the whole thing?
Everything tied to KCCP will remain. You'll just need to redownload and set up SwitchyOmega and KC3. Be sure to create a backup of your KC3 data from your previous browser to be able to import the data into your new browser. If you need more details, you can join the Discord!

As I've said under another comment, it's planned, but not until we finally manage to port the full english patch to Android! In the meantime, you can still join my Discord server discord.gg/krMeMKB to find written instructions on how to start the game on Android, and you can also ask for as much help as you want. We will soon have a partial patch on Android as well, but it's not hard to play the game in Japanese either, as you have useful tools that provide enough help without the need for a translation.
@@Oradimi it is , for most people , changing pc sometimes the caches block from each acc might changing, theres a quite perma wae to not use kccp, which is using editthiscookie method, its still works but kccp is best tbh
EditThisCookie method has been obsolete for quite some time now, with KC3's DMM Cookie Hack. Moreover, it has nothing to do with the more recent IP block.
The PSVita game is a different game altogether, and support for it has been dropped, there's no more updates. But since it's an offline game, you can still play it.
Refer to this document, PC section, as I've added some minor details to it: docs.google.com/document/d/1S3-Uv9wbuv2lAkjc_5oH6T069rb7QlTP90W2AHoNPzg/edit?usp=sharing Basically, follow only up to 7:27, the remainder is only useful to newcomers. You may definitely want to join my Discord as well!

Merci pour le guide
Oh un Français !
De rien, hésite pas à venir dire coucou sur le Discord 👍
it's a great job you've done here, i'll play it since i'm a fan of the anime, and Metal Waltz (a kancolle but with tanks and planes instead of ships) made me want to play this game as well.
Though, i must add.... for someone such as myself who just wants to play, the whole process is too long and technical.
30 minutes of downloading and installing stuff (not to mention it was sped up) would certainly kill the interest for more than one person.
Thanks!
Half of the video is just explaining the game a little bit. I tried to condense things more in my most recent video to install it on Android, so I may go back to this one in the future to update and improve it!
Before this, I'll try to find ways to make the process easier, as unfortunately right now it's just a bunch of bricks added on top of one another (I'm only responsible for the patch itself), and there's no other way to do it.
Kancolle is pretty rough, I feel like I need to have a large 3 ring binder complete with charts on equipment, lists of ships and construction, and maps with details on fleets to bring to certain ones.
It's a pretty complex game indeed... Thankfully, things like KC3 or the wiki help a lot with these different aspects. If you find yourself lost, feel free to join my Discord for some guidance! The link is in the description.
@@Oradimi i do like the wiki, it has been helpful for the last event of winter2022 but I have so much work to do on my ships. I didnt get past phase1 of E1 even. Still having so much trouble. I will add the discord.
what music you use on the video? i really like it
It's all music straight from the game! Check this page out to find the ones from the video, and much much more: en.kancollewiki.net/Music
@@Oradimi ah thanks
Has anyone had an issue where when trying to play Kancolle, the screen is just a white box surrounded by purple?
Yes, here's a copy-paste of text instructions from the main KanColle Discord:
In case you suddenly can't access kc via chrome anymore [because of chrome update, but most people won't notice silent chrome updates]:
- check whether your address bar has a lock icon to the left of it. if yes, this is the guide for you. if it already shows "not secure", then it's caused by something else.
- click lock, go to web site settings, enable insecure content
- close and reopen dmm tab, kc should load now again. if it doesn't, restart browser completely
technical background:
- chrome is enabling the "always use secure connections" setting by default in the latest update (116), but kc doesn't support HTTPS, so the responses of the KC servers are rejected because they're insecure
- you can also globally disable the setting for all of chrome, but you should probably only do this if you only use chrome for kc
- if you have already manually disabled the secure connection setting at some point in the past, you should not be getting this issue
Besides, I recommend joining my server for more readily available information like this.
@@Oradimi I changed the insecure content settings and got it to work. Thank you!
Thanks for the great help, had to reinstall the whole thing once and verify cache once each but I finally made it through the tutorial instead of stuck on black screens.
Gotta ask though, how'd you get those Ooyodo and Akashi skins...
They're automatically applied by the devs during summer! Skins in this game are basically free, but there's no way to swap between them as you wish.
@@Oradimi Keep a game region locked sounds nice if you get to do stuff like this
thank for your guide, it good to be back at the game again after quite a few year. May i ask about update, so i just need to run Quick update, when there is new update, or i need to do "patch the asset" again ?
Running pre-patch all assets is mostly only useful to speed up the loadings when playing for the first time. After that, since not many textures will be updated or added anymore, just updating the patch and playing should be fine, as the new asset storage and patching will be done on the fly!
Some updates have been made to the quick updater, so now it should let you clear the cache from more browsers than only Chrome, and even some commonly used standalone viewers.
You're welcome btw, thank YOU for watching! Feel free to join my Discord too for updates notifications and more!
Thanks for this video tutorial.
Already follow your step,i can play kancolle with english language right now,but my kancolle didnt have sound.
Do you have a download manager extension or anything like that? If that's the case, disable these, they mess with the game's sound
@@Oradimi thanks mate.your solve my problem
0:00 GENERAL KENOBI!
if i already have kancolle command center and i just want to play in english can i just get the proxy, patch and go from there? dont want to screw anything up...
Yes you can! You can find more details in the document I've linked in the pinned comment. If you have more questions, feel free to join the Discord as well!
thanks for the vid! is there a phone version also?
Yes! Check out the latest video on my channel 👍
So uh, I haven't logged into the game for about a week due to work and I'm catching up on events in LoL. When I tried to log into the game this morning, I don't know why it just stuck at the DMM games login (white screen). Maybe you know how to fix it, do I need to reinstall TunnelBear VPN and log in with it? Thank You
It can depend on a lot of factors. I'd recommend joining my Discord so you can give more details about your setup 👍
Can you please guide me again because I did exactly what you did but it doesn't work. When I checked, the game refused to connect through the proxy and kccp was not connected
There's a few outdated elements and additional steps that you may have to do now. I'd recommend to join the Discord for further instructions, but if you don't want to join the Discord, try the steps on the pinned message. I'm going to update the dead link, sorry about that.
Can I just end KCCacheProxy whenever I am not playing and start it when I play? I try to keep as less tasks running as possible. And thanks for the patch man, keep up the good work!
You can yes, but if you do, you must change back the SwitchyOmega profile to "System Proxy". Put it back to "proxy" and launch back KCCP whenever you want to play.
@@Oradimi Thank you so much for the immediate answer.
Hello, I have a problem that in this past 2-3 days when I played on pc it kinda take longer to get out of loading screen and sometimes it just disconnected.
This doesn't happen when I play on android, but still I love top play it on PC anyway.
Is there a way to fix this?
It's hard to determine what's wrong in this case. The only thing I could suggest is perhaps to delete your KCCP cache and import a new cache dump
@@Oradimi gonna try that, thank you!
I often get black loading screens and have to refresh the site. Is it because my internet is shit or?
It might be another issue, join my Discord if you want further support, you'll find the link in the description.
Not sure why I am watching it as i have registreted before even a first anime been aired. But anyway i like.
Sidenote I think you have forgot to mention that english patch has to be enabled in assets modifier otherwise prepatch button will not appear.
@@mrorlov2706 You mean the Enable Asset Modifiers setting? idk, seems pretty obvious to me in this case
@@Oradimi This, and that you have to rewrite but a top guide nontheless
@@mrorlov2706 Honestly, I'm genuinely curious about everything you think could improve the video, so feel free to share what you have on your mind! (here or in my Discord)
I know it really isn't perfect, and I've since made another video for Android that I think improved on some things, so feel free to share your thoughts on it as well 👍
I'm asking because I may release an improved version of the video in the future if too many things become outdated.
@@Oradimi I don't use discord at this moment, but i might join in a future.
thanks oni-chan
Hello, I am trying to play the game and following the video each step, but I get the blank screen. I think I did everything as shown. The Discord link is not working, someone that can help me?
I've updated the tutorial link, but I would still recommend joining my Discord if possible!
Hello I followed all the steps and managed to get it done properly, and was playing it in English for a week. But afterwards it had reverted back to the usual Japanese. Do you have any idea why? I have also ran the update patch and got it updated, but it is not working. I am currently playing on Opera GX.
I've done everything but once I press the red button, nothing else loads or happens :( my time is JST, I already had nord vpn and made a new dmm account just in case I made it wrong before :\ do I need omega on for anything?
You didn't need a new DMM account honestly.
Nord VPN might have problems with this, try using TunnelBear instead. SwitchyOmega needs to be on yup.
When clicking on the red button, nothing happens at all? As if it just wasn't a button? That's weird... You may want to join the Discord for easier and faster support btw!
Salut
Tout d'abord, merci pour ta vidéo
J'ai le soucis que le jeu se lance, mais il est toujours en japonais
Et si je ne suis pas sur un VPN jap, bien ca ne fonctionne pas
J'ai pourtant bien suivi les étapes
Une idée d'où ca peut venir?
Il est possible que KCCacheProxy ne fonctionne pas correctement ; soit t'aurais loupé une étape, soit il faut juste relancer KCCacheProxy. Hésite pas à rejoindre le Discord si t'as besoin de plus d'aide !
Unfortunately KCCP doesnt work for me anymore, I keep getting the error "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: SyntaxError: unexpected token" also after reinstalling it :(
You need to uninstall it completely before reinstalling it. Go in AppData local and roaming, and delete the KCCacheProxy folder in both locations! You can then start the installation again, and it should work 👍
@@Oradimi It worked! Thank you so much! UwU
Hey, I am having a problem. when registering for Kancolle ill put in all my information but nothing happens when i click the yellow button. Can you help?
Usually this happens when you're running an ad-blocker. Deactivate adblock/ublock on dmm and try again. If, and only if, it still doesn't work, some other extensions may be responsible, so you may try deactivating them all, except for KC3 and SwitchyOmega.
@@Oradimi that worked thank you
when i clicked the link number 9, I only had blank white screen with blue background, I have no idea what happened, I'm using old account, do you know how to fix this?
Is there a lock icon besides the adress bar? If that's the case, follow this little guide cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/985644610204368976/1077341948018442290/tuto_faq.png
so i initially tried this without the cache dump, and it worked fairly well, with a bit of slower loading. but when i tried to do this with the cache dump, my browser (opera gx) gives a "no internet" error message
Yeah it's pretty weird, but we can probably get it sorted out in my Discord, I'm keen on helping out! discord.gg/krMeMKB
It's been a few years since i played this game but the event routing seems to be more and more messy.
The routing not so much, but the amount of phases is really getting out of end, we've got 21 in the current event, spread across 7 maps
returning admiral here, how do I get passed the white screen ? did everything but still get white screen
@@lancebalela8962 See the pinned comment!
@@Oradimi Thank you it finally works!
Would it work of I use same steps on Android?
I've made a video specifically for Android, please check it out!
Yeah I saw it, thanks, but it isn't loading at all, it shows a black screen
@@Tsunfy5050 Try running the VPN again in GotoBrowser, it might have sent you back to the server selection screen. It could also just be a very long loading, the first one can get pretty lengthy. Please join the Discord for further assistance!
@@Oradimi oh okay, I'll try
Hey buddy, what happened to the poi viewer? it doesn't work anymore?
@@xoapsrox895 It does! There are settings within poi that replace SwitchyOmega, you can use poi with the patch!
@@Oradimi ohhh could you explain me how to do it? i like the poi better.

nowadays I had crash with AACI
I tried to install again and the CacheProxy gimme this:
Cached: 55.374 files, 4.44 GB
Since installation (2023-07-30):
Ignored 19.312 HTTP requests and 2901 HTTPS requests.
Handled 23.385 requests
22.148 found in cache
285 changed version tag, but weren't modified *
858 had to be downloaded from KC servers
94 failed to load
Saved 3.47 GB of bandwidth.
Well that's normal, these are just your cache stats ever since you first installed KCCP.
what happen if you don't follow the steps 1 to 8, will it still work?
If you basically just launch the game right away without doing anything else? Well first you'll need to register anyway, and then you'll need to use a Japanese VPN each time you log in. You won't get the patch, the convenient cache storage or the very useful stats and information provided by KC3.
@@Oradimi so i have the follow step 1 to 9, if i don’t i’m unable to play the game?
@@ryanu6424 Well, if you've never played it before, just follow the entire video, yes.
@@Oradimi thx 👍
I came back to the game after a few years, do u know how is the farm? I remember before I used a lot SS to farm in 2-4, but that doesn't exist anymore.
With the map revamp of 2018, many farming spots changed. I'd recommend joining my Discord and asking there, you're more likely to get a better answer than from myself as I'm not really the farmer type y'know
@@Oradimi Sounds like a good idea, thanks for the recommendation.
Worked for me on a new account, but when i restored my old one the eng patch doesnt work. Is there a fix for this?
Can you join the Discord? It would be easier to help there, as I can't help without more information (like screenshots etc.)
Be sure to make it clear that it's you when you join 👍
Excuse me good sir,
I have succesfully installed the game,
But I have this big problem
The voice or the music don't play at all, instead, my Download Manager keeps downloading the music file (mp3) that's supposed to play in the game..
Can you give me any solution sir?
Thanks
Ah, nevermind, it's fixed
It's my Internet Download manager
Thanks for the guide anyway
@@RandomWeebWojak Glad you sorted it out. I'd suggest still to join my Discord server linked above, the game mechanics go much deeper than what I described in the video, so asking questions is important 👍
hi. im a returning player (not by much) and im wondering how to transfer the game to another browser (Opera GX) without having to redownload the whole thing?
Everything tied to KCCP will remain.
You'll just need to redownload and set up SwitchyOmega and KC3. Be sure to create a backup of your KC3 data from your previous browser to be able to import the data into your new browser. If you need more details, you can join the Discord!
@@Oradimi yeah I'm in the Discord serv. But could I just DM you instead? If you don't mind

I used to play this game a lot in the past. I got 200 ship gitls and couldnt buy the dock upgrade. Unable to (basically) kill any of my shipgirls I had no choise but to stop playing.

You can use the exact same account on PC and Android, so no need to worry about it

@@donbeneverdevera966 Once you've entered a server, you don't need to use a VPN anymore. If you have more questions (trust me you will), feel free to join the Discord server linked in the description and the pinned comment! 👌
@@Oradimi Tnx for the reply the only question i have left is what is the Meta in Kancolle, which ships/equipment worth raising/keeping in each World map but you don't have to answer me if you don't want to. So once again thank you.
Can you make a Tutorial in Android for kancolle?
As I've said under another comment, it's planned, but not until we finally manage to port the full english patch to Android!
In the meantime, you can still join my Discord server discord.gg/krMeMKB to find written instructions on how to start the game on Android, and you can also ask for as much help as you want. We will soon have a partial patch on Android as well, but it's not hard to play the game in Japanese either, as you have useful tools that provide enough help without the need for a translation.
kc3 hve new update bfore, where kccp no longer in use , thx to that old players from SEA region managed to return :DD
KCCP is still useful to permanently store the game's assets, and to use asset mods like the English Patch. It is still largely in use.
@@Oradimi it is , for most people , changing pc sometimes the caches block from each acc might changing, theres a quite perma wae to not use kccp, which is using editthiscookie method, its still works but kccp is best tbh
EditThisCookie method has been obsolete for quite some time now, with KC3's DMM Cookie Hack. Moreover, it has nothing to do with the more recent IP block.
can it still be play on psvita until now curious ?
The PSVita game is a different game altogether, and support for it has been dropped, there's no more updates. But since it's an offline game, you can still play it.
