Change language

Using Steam or GOG Galaxy, the language can be changed via the game properties.
When not using GOG Galaxy, or if voices and subtitles should be in a different language, see the fix below.
Change voice and subtitle language[3]
  1. First, right-click the game in your library, go to Properties and then Language.
  2. Switch language to the desired option, for instance German in this case.
  3. Wait until the voice pack is downloaded, then go to <path-to-game>\data\packed\ and make copies ofc_1_de.pak and c_0_de.pak in the same folder (or similarly named files in other languages).
  4. Switch back to English or other desired language in the properties window again. Remember to rename the copied language files to their original names.
  5. Go to <path-to-game>\data\ini\.
  6. Open ConfigDefault.xml with an editor like Notepad.
  7. Change VoiceLanguage="English" and/or SubtitleLanguage="English" to a supported language.
You will need the above mentioned files first, otherwise the game will default to the original voices and strings for the menus will be missing if the subtitle language is changed.
