Saarland, Germany
the folder "\Steam\SteamApps\common\red orchestra 2\ROGame\Config" is empty. I think that's the problem. Installed the german version... Before last update ( ~2.5GB ), it wasn't empty...

I'll check out the english version later, have to go to work now...

I have the same problem. (German)
I'll try it again with another language.



Every time something is ...

Edit:
Now it works.
I change the language again in German.
(It works with English language.)

Now the voice files to be reloaded.

Maybe yes it works now also in German.

I set the game to English, downloaded like 2,2 Gigs and... it started!

Played the introduction mission and Spartanovka and it runs pretty smoothly. Game looks better than I expected.

I don't know if the game still starts if I put language back to German...

PS. : I've noticed that the Swastikas on the German uniforms have been replaced with iron crosses, is that an issue of the German version, or have swastikas also been removed from the international localisation?

Guys, seriously, you delay the game, bring a 2gb big patch or whatever right before the release and the German version wont work? What did I pay for?

I got no problem with english, if this game would be only avaiable on english, but I bought the German version and I wanna play it goddamned!

I just hope the rest of this game is working and not another unfinished game like every other game that's released in the last time

Copy the files from
\Steam\SteamApps\common\redorchestra2beta\ROGame\C onfig
to
\Steam\SteamApps\common\red orchestra 2\ROGame\Config
(or get them here: http://www.file-upload.net/download-...onfig.zip.html)

Then start the game once to generate config files in
\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config

The game should load, but the menu glitches (red and yellow glitching colors)
To change this, open:
\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config\ROEngine.ini
And change Language=INT to your language (DEU, FRA, etc)
Now everything should work.



From Steam forums,


hope it helps

steam deletes some files while changing language....so make a backup of configfiles :)


For me it works, all german now, menu, videos, speech :D

Thx for you guys giving some advice, have the same problem and with my rather slow internet connection I re-downloading the entire game tonight.

Anyhow, switching now to English/local and see if it works.

Thanks

Oh and since I am certain that tripwire will follow this thread, let me say:

Your relatively small team produced an awesome game, sells it at a fair price and I am curious about your future developments... Just the PR needs some polishing ;)

look if your configs are in \Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\My Games\RedOrchestra2\ROGame\Config

if you dont have look there


http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2119366

i tried to change some language files messed all up. Game is starting, some is german some isnt lol

switching from english to german deletes some configfiles in the main RO2 folder and adding new language files


ROFL everytime you switch language STEAM deletes all english movie files and replaces it with selected game language. thats why you have load so much. files for native speech are just about 70MB rest is campaign movies....faaaaaail steam fail XD

All files in
\Steam\SteamApps\common\redorchestra2beta\ROGame\Config
wont be replaced by new ones after switching from english to german or other languages.....omg

so my try is to backup this files first and copy them back after all files got changed and then changing ROengine language from INT to DEU.
