Configuring Dragon Quest X Settings

From Ethene

This guide will cover how to access the Dragon Quest X settings menu, as well as providing translated menus for each section.

How can I access the configuration?

There are three ways:

  • By default, the config executable is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\DRAGON QUEST X\Game\DQXConfig.exe
  • On the launcher, click on the purple Dracky icon on the right.

  • While in game, move your mouse to the top of the screen to make this bar appear and select the bottom option:

Why does the config show "???" for all of the options?

If your computer locale isn't set to Japanese, Windows is unable to interpret the characters displayed in the various menus. Although this isn't an issue, it can make navigating through the menus confusing. Instead of going through the hassle of changing your system locale, you can download a program called Locale Emulator to emulate an application with a specific locale. The repository has been archived, but the program still functions.

Download Locale Emulator and run the LEInstaller.exe executable to install the software. Navigate to the config executable for Dragon Quest X (referenced in the previous section), right-click on it, highlight Locale Emulator and click "Run in Japanese". This will properly show the appropriate glyphs.

English Translated Config

There is an English-translated config executable that you can download here if preferred. Read the instructions on the page for how to get it set up.
