CreativeStudio has been confirmed to run in the following operating environment:
To run CreativeStudio, you must have .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later.
If using the Japanese language version, use Japanese (ja_jp) for the OS locale setting. If using the English version, use English (en_US) for the OS locale setting.
Even if using the English version of software under a German or French environment, software will not operate correctly unless the locale setting is changed to en_US.
Note: These specifications are tentative and are scheduled to be improved in the future.
if the monitor color setting is set to 16-bit color, CreativeStudio will not run correctly.
We recommend installing the Meiryo font for Windows XP.
If you install the Meiryo font, then places in web pages where that font has been specified will appear "normally."
As of the present time no major problems have arisen with Windows 7 64-bit version (32-bit mode) but the task of confirming operation will continue.
Note: CreativeStudio will run even if the Meiryo font has not been installed under Windows XP, but layouts may lose their integrity.
CreativeStudio has been confirmed to operate normally given the following specifications:
Item | Operating Environment |

Note: Operations have been confirmed on the above environment, which differs from the actual game development environment.
