Changing game language

[Norden_slith]

Hi,
how do I change the language of the game. Thinking I choose the country, I now have a german installation.

Reinstalling didnt help. Doesnt allow to select thew language again. So its somewhere in the murky depths of Windows (Vista-32).

Any help, please?

In my installation of the original game (not the Gold edition), there is a file C:\Program Files\CDV\Commander - Europe at War\Settings.txt. The first line of that file is Language. Set it to zero and you get a popup when launching the game to select the language.

If that doesn't save the value, just enter '1' for English. '6' is German.

That may not be the complete story, however. There are also six text files under C:\Program Files\CDV\Commander - Europe at War\data that have a 3 character language suffix. (ex: leader_ger.txt)

I have learned all this because I purchased a copy in Germany while there on a business trip, expecting to be able to select English during installation. Sadly it is not possible, but maybe what I learned will help you.
