A weird language problem

» Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:35 am

Hello everybody, I have a very wierd problem with my game ( I bought it yesterday on steam sale).
the problem is - the in game menus doesn't recognize letters - not in the serial key entering window, not in the key-binding menus. I see only little squares intead of letters, or nothing at all.
i'm running it on win7 (OS language is not english) and I checked the steam launcher and the system.cfg file, and in both the laguage is set to english. I really dont know what else to do.

The game needs to be set to the same localization as your OS (depending on the language...)

* Look in your "..\Crysis 2\gamecrysis2\localized" subfolder. You should see a list of .PAK files for different languages (english.pak, turkish.pak, etc). Note the exact spelling of the file name for the language you want.

* Using notepad, edit your "..\Crysis 2\system.cfg". Mine looks roughly like this:

Code:

; crysis2
r_ShaderCompilerServer=192.168.14.180;192.168.14.181
sys_languages = "english,french,spanish,german,turkish,russian,polish,italian,czech,japanese,chineseT"
r_displayInfo = 1

g_language = EnglishChange the g_language line to match the language you want.


Apparently some installations have different contents of the "..\localized" folder.  Mine is also Steam.
