France - Big Big bug

No text...

August 30, 2006 7:22:13 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hello,

I bought this game later and installed the patch.
And I have a big problem : no text appear in the game, including the toolbar menu (New game, ...). So it's very difficult to play ! (same problem before patch).

To information, I am french.

If it's possible to have a answer to resolve this problem....

Does it work if you change your regional settings to US English in control panel?

Just a guess, but you may also have gotten a bad download (missing french language files, game still set to use them)--try reinstalling entire game via SDC if you can.

Also, you may need to restart your computer after installing.

I see you have the demo, which is in english. That could maybe a problem if the game is trying to reading the french file from the demo directory.

So you should try the following:

- desintall the demo

- desinstall the game

- do a clean install of the game (I suppose you are using a french version)

- patch the game with the retail 1.2 patch from the website to get a correct 1.2 french version.

If you are using the french version DO NOT UPDATE with SDC to get 1.2

If you have more questions, just ask
