AnyPS5 language, font and GPU settings

Set the game’s system language

ANYPS5_LANGUAGE sets the emulated system-language value in current main. The values below are those documented upstream. A game may not include every language, and changing this website’s language does not change the game. Confirm that your build contains this setting before using it.

ANYPS5_LANGUAGE
1  English (US)
2  Français
3  Español
4  Deutsch
7  Português (Portugal)
11 简体中文
21 العربية

Missing text and multiple GPUs

ANYPS5_SYSTEM_FONTS can point to system-font replacements. Open-source Noto fonts must be named as the runtime expects; a font folder alone does not repair every rendering or font-atlas bug. ANYPS5_GPU selects a Vulkan device by name substring. Confirm the selected device in the log, especially on laptops with integrated and discrete graphics.

Distinguish missing fonts from missing translations

A game can include translated text but still fail to display it when a system font set is unavailable. Current documentation expects anyps5-fonts/ beside the executable unless ANYPS5_SYSTEM_FONTS selects another directory. Noto substitutes must use the documented filenames and formats; the CJK family is a .ttc collection, not just any renamed .ttf. The example names below identify files, not an instruction to rename incompatible font formats.

anyps5-fonts/
  NotoSans-Regular.ttf
  NotoSans-Bold.ttf
  NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc
  NotoSansCJK-Bold.ttc

Confirm the setting and available content

Language numbers select a system-language value, not downloaded language packs. Some games require their own language assets or settings. Invalid ANYPS5_LANGUAGE values stop at the first language query; an empty value behaves like an unset variable. Change one setting, restart and keep the first message. For right-to-left text, a font loading successfully does not establish correct shaping, ordering or the game’s layout.
