Thread: Changing language from Rus to Eng ?

    Changing language from Rus to Eng ?

    Hello there,

    I recently bought a copy of Arma2 and OA in Russian language because I read that you can change the language IN GAME.
    Now that I've installed everything I can't change the language, it only has the Russian option. So I was wondering if there was a fix for this? Like maybe a patch or something?
    Or have I just completely wasted my money and should just start collecting money again?

    Thank you

    You can start collecting money, you cant change language in Russian version of A2 and OA.
    Ps: dont buy Polish version, we cant change language too

    Wow, how greatly is this game coded, right?
    Unbelivable.

    The localized Russian, Polish and German versions can't change the language, that's a decision made by the local distributors.

    There were unofficial language patches available in the early ArmA2 days but since they were not signed you couldn't use them in MP and by now they are also outdated and don't support OA.

    So your only choices are to keep the Russian version, or try to return it and purchase a digital version which supports English.

    I'm sorry to spoil your pointless rant, but as said above this is a decision made by the local distributors and has nothing to do with coding.

    I'm sorry to ignore ur statement, but as I said before, how greatly is this game coded, being sarcastic ofcourse...
    Every decent self-respecting game at that caliber should atleast have the opportunity to export/import language files. Hence, badly coded.
    This has nothing to do with local distributors. The fact that they want to give out only their language games doesn't mean the game shouldn't have the functionality to change one.

    Sometimes in countries such as: Poland, Russia we have games in lower prices but our version have only on language. That is made ​​especially so that people from other countries (for example England, Spain, France etc) dont buy cheaper versions and do not sell them in their home countries for a higher price.

    That just means you don't know how to. I also bought a russian BF3 and now I'm running fully English and getting updates perfectly, even bought some DLC's that were all English.
    And I also did the same for all of the Call of Duty games.

    @Tom3kb, Yes I am aware of that, but as I said earlier, one thing is when you don't give the player a choise in a menu to switch languages, another thing is when you completely disable it by making it impossible even with any patches or fixes or language files.

    You get what you paid for. You bought the russian version, you paid the russion version, you got the russian version. End of line.


    Contact the store for a refund or if they could change it to another language version.



    Since all has been said that could be said...
