hi,

i have a problem with dark messiah.

1. my steam language is in english
2. i downloaded dark messiah from steam and changed the language in the properties/language to german.
the language file is in the steamapps folder but the problem is the game starts in english and not in german. i can only play dm if i set the language in steam to german. but if i do this, all my other games are starting to download the german language files.
now my question is, how can i play dm in german without changeging the language to german in steam? thanx for your answers in advance Wink

You should not have changed the Steam language to german. DM multiplayer will only run when Steam language is english. Change it back.

I'm afraid that's impossible with the Steam version. Unless i'm very mistaken, you can't have Steam in english and game in german.
If you really really want that, then just buy the DVD version of the game.

i can play it in german. but i have to do this.

1. start steam (english)
2. change in the registry the language from steam from englisch to german (steam is still in englisch after that. it will only change to german if i restart steam)
3. start singleplayer and the game is in german

my steam is always set to englisch and i have only 3 games which i am playing in german. assassin's creed, dawn of war 2 and dark messiah. the first two games i can play without problem in german with steam language in englisch. i have changed only the language under the game properties to german. but the only game which i can't play like the others two in german whithout changes in the registry is dark messiah. and the quetion is why ^^

Probably a Steam problem?

Because in patch 1.01 (for the dvd version) readme:
quote:
********************************************************************************************
Special fix for language problems:
********************************************************************************************

If you don't have the language you selected during the installation of Dark Messiah, please follow
these instructions:

- In the following folder you'll find files named ".reg" :
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\Support

- Double click on the .reg file of the language you wish to use.
(Note: This won't CHANGE the language, only repair it).

- Click 'Yes' then 'OK'.

- Your Steam register key has been updated to your chosen language. Your game is now
correctly set.


********************************************************************************************

Btw i'm usually only playing the dvd version 1.02. This happens both on my VistaUlt SP1 64-bit english and XP SP2 32-bit dutch: the launch menu of the game is english when installing, but after having played the game a few times changed itself to french! Every time i install the game on a fresh OS it starts in english but becomes french. At least the game itself is in english always! Thumbs Up Happy
