hello
i live in taiwan, and i bought a copy of the game for a pittance. however, i cant understand written chinese and i need to change the language from chinese to english. i cant understand the options screen so i don't know if it is possible to do it in-game, or whether i need to download a language pack.
any help???

thanks.

There is no way to change the language in-game, and no official language patch. A couple people have had some success replacing certain files, though.


Here is a download link (1MB) for some English files. It is in a self-extracting 7-Zip archive, so you can change the extension to .7z and open it with that program (other archive managers also support this format) if you don't want to run an executable.

See the following topics for details of previous attempts (with partial success);
Trying to convert to English / Need english translation


If you change the registry entry for the game to list 'English' as the language, you should be able to install the latest English patch, which should also help with the translation.
If you are not comfortable with Registry editing, check out this topic for the download and description of a reg file you can use, or Larian support can email you a much more user friendly vbs (Visual Basic Script) file to create / alter the required registry entries.
