Pre-requirements

  • Windows 11. dqxclarity is known not to work on Windows 7 and may or may not work on Windows 10.
  • (Recommended) A live translation API - see Translation APIs below.
⚠ Important

Dragon Quest X must be installed (and fully patched!) before performing these steps. Using dqxclarity to patch the game prior to the normal patching process completing may corrupt your DQX install, requiring a reinstall. dqxclarity downloads a modded DAT file and places it in your game directory. If the game isn’t fully patched, it may attempt to use this file and cause problems.

Translation APIs

dqxclarity supports several translation services. Paid APIs provide the best quality:

Paid options

DeepL ChatGPT / OpenAI Google Translate

Setup guides are available for DeepL and Google Translate.

Free options

Google Translate (mobile API) Google Translate PA LibreTranslate Ollama (self-hosted) Yandex Translate

Free options have lower translation quality but require no credit card.

Installation

  1. Download the latest zip using the link above.
  2. Extract dqxclarity.zip and place it somewhere to be run.
⚠ Do not extract to these locations
  • Within Program Files
  • Within a OneDrive directory
  • A path containing special characters (accents, umlauts, diacritics, etc.) - typically a username
  1. Inside the dqxclarity folder, right-click DQXClarity.exe and click Run as administrator.
  2. If you don’t have .NET 9 installed, dqxclarity will prompt you to install it. You can also install it here.
  3. If you don’t have the required Python version installed, you’ll see this prompt:
Python install prompt in dqxclarity
  1. Click OK. Python will silently install in the background along with its dependencies.
  2. Once complete, the main dqxclarity window opens:
dqxclarity main window
ℹ Note

dqxclarity is actively developed, so your window may not look exactly as shown.

Configuration

Each tab has a ? button that explains what it does. The most important thing is setting your DQX Folder Path correctly under the Game tab.

Under the Installation Configuration tab:

dqxclarity Game tab - Installation Configuration
  • Click Patch Game Files to install the translated local game files to your DQX directory.
  • (Optional) Click Patch Config to install a translated DQXConfig.exe - the Dracky utility for controller and graphics settings.
  • (Optional) Click Patch Launcher to install a translated DQXLauncher.exe.

Under the Launch tab:

dqxclarity Launch tab

This screen lets you bypass the official launcher and launch directly into the game. It supports saving credentials and handles OTP. Your credentials are verified with the official DQX servers and saved locally in user_settings.ini inside the dqxclarity directory in plain text - do not share this file.

ℹ Tip

Launching via this tab is required if you want native copy/paste support in game. Easy Play accounts can also launch this way if you have an existing account.

Launching

  1. Click Run in the bottom right corner.
  2. Briefly read through the output. The last line should say:
    Done! Keep this window open (minimize it) and have fun on your adventure!
dqxclarity launch output window
✓ Success

The window that opened must remain open for your entire gaming session. You can minimize it and start playing.

Uninstallation

  • Delete the dqxclarity folder from your computer. All installed components are contained within it.
  • Uninstall Python 3.11.3 32-bit from Control Panel.
