Uncensor method and Game future
For those who don't know how to uncensor, you need to go to your Steam file location.

\Steam\steamapps\common

And under the common file, you will find a text file named localization. Open it and change the content like below:

localization = 1

(If you don't know where's you game file,
you can go to steam click LIBRARY,
then find the SNOWBREAK and right click it,
click on the properties then click Installed Files.
Click the Browse button and it will open the game folder for you.
Once you've got the game folder click common in the folder path and it will direct you to the common folder,
inside you will find the localization file.
If you don't have it either use verify function from steam--library--game--properties or just created a text file that's name localization )

Remember to save your change, enter the game and you are good to go.

So far most of the content should be back to normal, however some art content in Album might still be in censorship mode. As far as I know, the developers will patch it later, but this is unconfirmed.

If you wondering about future content that might be conservative like Genshin Impact, don't worry. The creator 木木_MuMu__ already said in BiliBili that their design direction will not change due to censorship. If you watch the 2.3 PV you will understand. Or from the 2.3 story new character design (after they re-release the story mode), look at two giant torpedoes trapped in wire \(OAO)/.

Even due to the unforeseen pressure (we all know what it is), the game needs to have another censorship. Again, the localization method will work. Once you have changed the file, you will be fine unless you reinstall or need to install the game on a brand-new device, just like how Azur Lane works in China.

P.S. You don't need to warrior using this method might get your account banned. The localization file was created by the developers to avoid any possible censorship. This method (or little switch) is used by a lot of games in China to handle censorship.

Why the file is not located in SNOWBREAK folder?
It can affect other games?

Because it has to be in the steam/common folder so it's not overwritten after an update that why.

Man, China is becoming wayyy too woke, soon everyone will have to wear potato sacks to cover their bodies in video games. Like seriously, wtf, this is some real puritan era guilt penance ♥♥♥♥.

2Shadow Nov 1, 2024 @ 11:30am 
could you give a more detailed instruction on where to find it
vt100 Nov 1, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
to make it as simple as possible go to your drive that has steam on it it is Your drive name/steamlibrary/steamapps/common and it's at the bottom of the folder change the number in the localisation file from 0 to 1 and save. and the game should be back to haw ot was before.

It doesn't change everything, some arts are eliminated and others censored in the Album story mode section, I think that in the future the arts will be censored but the 3D model with this method will remain intact. I don't think the devs will create 2 arts per character.

2.3 was made in advance though. We'll have to see later events. The one after the next.

The localization file is in the same place as the folders with all your steam games. This makes it so you don't have to do the trick every time Snowbreak updates

likely, boot up, do the prerequisite downloads, and check again
It'll be the only txt in a pool of folders
