So this problem still exists? Unbelievable. To us from Brazil, the same problem persists. And to think that we buy the GOTY edition, and we can't even choose what text language we want. Anyway, there is safe method to change the text language to EN(US), without third party clients and so on, I read about here, but some people get errors and such. I wanted a working process. Thanks

what exactly do you do when you "edit" those files?

 

basically, what must be done is:

1. rename your language file from LANG.toc and LANG.sb to oldLANG.* (or some other name)

2. download and install notepad++

3. open english files with notepad++, search and replace text /en/ with /LANG/

4. save as LANG.toc and LANG.sb (don't rewrite English file! save as if it's your old lang file).

LANG is your language. it may be pl, ru or whatever is supported in the game.

ideally this must be done in all of 5 folders mentioned below ( if you don't have some DLCs then you won't have some of those folders).

 

also, I'll try to explain what goes where. there are two links on reddit.

first one has replacement files for Data/Win32/loctext files.

second one I posted just in case, but normally you don't need to download this to switch languages as your game already has them.

what you find there is English texts for

Update\Multiplayer_DLC1\Data\Win32\loctext\mp1 (Multiplayer DLC)

Update\Multiplayer_DLC2\Data\Win32\loctext\mp2 (Dragonslayer MP DLC)

Update\Patch\Data\Win32\loctext (everything patch realted)

Update\Singleplayer_DLC1\Data\Win32\loctext\dlc1 (Jaws of Hakkon texts)

 

but as I said, normally you don't need to download these. check those folders - they should have all language files in them. you just need to do steps 1-4.

 

p.s. me writing long instructions like it's nothing yeeaaahs 

Hi man. It's my first post on this forum and I made this account just to thank you!
After so many failed attempts to change my subs from brazilian portuguese to english, I can guarantee that your steps works like a charm!!!
That way for me, it is easy to wiki for info on the game, and it's nice to read what is actually being said. Well, that's it, and one more time, huge thanks bro!!!

ps.: sorry to bump an old thread.
