Does changing Localization.txt affect multiplayer

Hey team,

My friend and I have a running joke of the steel spear being Britney Spears. I thought I'd change our localization files to rename the item, but now my friend's game freezes with each launch.
At first we thought it was only 2s after we spawned in, but it seems to be proximity based - if I come near them the game freezes. 

Just curious if changing the localization.txt file will cause conflicts between accounts or if we're experiencing some other new bug 😕
 

 
my thought would be that the spear is tied to several xmls for various parts of the game. thus just changing the name in the localization will create errors as other part of the game are still using the original name. you would have to search all possible xmls for the spear.. like, items (for mods used for spears, also the spear item name itself and the stats), buffs (may be some bleed buffs for example and the glow buff), quests xml that may call to use the spear for certain things.. could be lots more as i do not dwell into the xmls but i venture the reason for the error is because the correct name is being called for and you only changed it in one minute part of the game.

good luck.. oh and you may find more or better help in the mod section as someone may know where this can be done right or have already done it.

 
I am not sure if both computers need to have the same localization file (probably should to be safe).

You didn't post how you changed the localization file

From the vanilla file

meleeWpnSpearT3SteelSpear,items,Melee,,,Steel Spear,,Stahlspeer,Lanza de acero,Lance en acier,Lancia d'acciaio,鉄鋼スピア,강철 창,Stalowa włócznia,Lança de Aço,Стальное копье,Çelik Mızrak,钢矛,鋼矛,Lanza de acero




meleeWpnSpearT3SteelSpear is the item name and should not be changed.  If you change that, every reference in the xml files to this has to be changed also.  If you change Steel Spear, then that just changes the display name in the game.

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

We did test having the same file and that didn't help. I'll have to jump back and try having the original files ago.

The two strings I changed was "Steel Spear" and "steel spear". So that meleeWpnSpearT3SteelSpear shouldn't be affected due to the space.

 
Can you send me the file, or copy exactly the line before the change, the line that was changed, and the line after?  I can check it out to see if I notice anything off
