Buy Arma2 in English [play German]

[Himmelsfeuer]

Hi,
im gettin a friend to Arma2 now. Since he has a slow Internet Connection, 1 question. If he buys a UK version, can he install the game with my german DVD and the UK Key, or will this make problems? thanks for help

The language is based on the CD Key. Meaning if you use the German DVD and install with the UK key then initially it'll be German but after patch 1.02 it'll be in English.

That said, I found a trick to it. I can't say this works for all versions but it worked for my Steam version when I first installed 1.02. I decided to put the German to English patch on the English version and everything went opposite, the English became German. I haven't tested it since 1.02 and it was originally a German version that I installed with an English key (I bought the English version after release and installed it using my German DVD).

I have since re-installed using the English version so when I get a chance I'll test to see if it works with English and patch 1.05.

Himmelsfeuer, just install the UK version and download the "German to English" language files. I used them on my german release DVD to get everything in English. If you use it on an English version it turns everything to German. Works with 1.05.
