I feel like your problem is you aren't in JP locale due to characters showing up as question marks.

Unless you actually have a need to read those error messages, there is normally no need to be in JP locale to play the game with this patch.
As in a not-prepatched copy... How you get it is on you, but it's not difficult to find.
Also there's no need for Japanese locale... While it does allow you to read the error messages, you can also read them in the log file which looks fine even in English locale.
Hrm, this is an odd error. For some reason the game window won't even display anymore. I can hear the BGM running the startup and menu music, but can't interact with the actual window. Right clicking to close the window from the taskbar works just fine, and will display the normal "This will quit the game" message. Trying to view it by using that button that makes a mini-window of everything running yields the following, even after waiting for the normal menu BGM to start.

The only thing that comes to mind would be some recent windows or java update that was installed recently. I don't remember the last time I opened the program, but it couldn't have been more than a month ago.
Edit: Oh, I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit at the moment. Upgraded from Windows 7 (forget the version, whatever the cheapest one that allowed installing AEL packages).
This happened to me once and the cause was that the window, for some reason, moved to the corner of the screen, and you can't move it using the mouse.
Make sure the window is selected (from the task bar) and then press: alt+space, m
Then you can use the arrow keys to move the window around so you can center it wherever (you can practice at some other window before).
If it's not that... do you have multiple monitors?
Hey, I think I've properly applied the patch to my pre-patched copy of Fate Stay Night as no errors popped up yet. So is there anything to look out for to notice the difference? I haven't played the visual novel before applying the patch. I might just be paranoid, but the implementation of the patch felt so easy that I was unsure whether it's alright and ok.
Edit: Is there a difference between "Fate Stay Night" and "Fate Stay Night Realta Nua"? I just realized my game was named Fate Stay Night without the Realta Nua.
Realta nua is the new version of the game with added content (CG, bgm, scenes, editing) and its also censored (this patch allows to remove it).
This patch is for the realta nua version, not the original one and certainly not for a prepatched version as this will cause conflicts.
Go to the useful links in the FSN subreddit they have a decent guide on how to install and apply the patch.
Oh ok, thanks!
I've noticed that there this application called, "FateSaber.exe" and whenever I try to run it. A window pops up asking for a serial code with a request code already keyed in. How to fix this and play FateSaber.exe? Also, what's the difference between the Fatestaynight[RealtaNua].exe and FateSaber.exe?
Run the other executable file. Think it's a smaller file size too.
So that means everything is alright and ok, right Trubo? I didn't get any problem popping up when I'm playing the Fatestaynight[Realta Nua].exe.
Edit: Thanks for your help, guys!
That's the one. Have fun playing :)
If the version I'm downloading has the game in separate parts, will the patch still work?
Fate
Unlimited blade works
heavens feel
Yes, that's the version of the game this patch is for
edit: figured it out
Did you finish day 10, Quibi?
