Can you explain what you mean by "not binarized correctly" ? What does "incorrectly" mean?

First of all thanks for the response.

The binarized stringtable.xml text does not appear in the game.

When I checked the created PBO, I found that a file called stringtable.bin was generated at the same time.

Can you explain what you mean by "not binarized correctly" ? What does "incorrectly" mean?

Thats a issue we suspected, thanks for confirming.
But stringtable.bin should work the same, so it should not actually be a problem?
We'll fix it soon-ish that it keeps both xml and bin

Thanks again!

I thought stringtable.bin was a bug.
Looking forward to the fix.

Was your issue that your stringtable only contained <Original> language entries? That is something we fixed in todays hotfix

Yes, I created it with only the <original> language entry.

Thanks for the quick fix!
