Language Issues

[magnusmaverick]

My friend installed MTW2 this morning after class. All the installation stuff was in english - But the game is now all in German. I'm not as worried, because I can read (or make sense of) most of it - But he can't.

Any solution is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Was the Game bought English??
Did you patch the Game??

[magnusmaverick]

I'm fairly certain he bought the game in English. We're currently downloading the patches, but the internet at our school is slow, especially for large files.

Thanks,

Mike

Maybe you have downloaded a German Patch. That happened to me with my French version of RTW as my game was French but speaches were english Lol...

[magnusmaverick]

So the patches should fix our problem then?

Cos my buddy reaaaaallly wants to play. In my research I found similar problems for MTW. The solution there was to replace the data files with their english equivalents, for language.

Any possibility of a similar solution here?

Thanks again.

That would probably be your best bet but I don't reckon seen a similar problem unless you have installed a German copy of the game or a German patch...

Sorry I can't be more helpfull here

Thanks for your help, friend. I'll post again whether or not it worked, if not, I'll have to find some other way to fix this.

Respectfully,

It didn't work. D:

A whole day spent downloading and then installing the patches, and it didn't work. It's all still in German. Any chance somebody has the english files to overwrite the German ones, or is my buddy up the proverbial creek without a paddle?

[magnusmaverick]

Reinstalled the game, still all in german. There were no language options during installation (all of which was in English). It's a good thing I'm buying a copy in the coming weeks. He can't return his though, he got it as a gift a while back.

Thanks for all your help though.

We're content to play Rome for now.

Start-> Run -> type regedit -> go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SEGA\Medieval II Total War -> edit "Language" (or create it) string value to "english". You may need to reinstall M2TW.

Or use this (rapidshare link) registry file to change "Language" value.
