So until some time ago all subtitles were working fine with VLC. Now my native language's subs appear as weird characters. VLC is up to date and thay also appear as that when i open the .srt (subtitle) file with notepad. English characters work just fine and VLC is up to date. What should I do?

Solution
If they are of different encoding, yes. But english subs will work in all encodings as they contain no "special" characters.
Go into setting and under subtitles set the encoding to teh proper one according to your region.
