Steam version is English only!!!

[Vanagen]

Sent an e-mail to Steam support.

I fear for the worst.


Luckily, I have a pre-ordered copy on disc underway (for my da').

I'll install the game from the DVD and salvage the serial number from the botched Steam installation.

Have you seen these files anywhere, as described by Neal?

Just copy them over to the right location.

Verdammt! I installed the Steam version but I didn't see the CUSTOM-option for German voices anywhere. I deleted local content and I'm downloading again (8 Gt....) as we speak. It must be there somewhere. Or maybe you have to switch your Steam language to German. I'll try everything.

I'm going to have to go and buy another copy on DVD if German voices are not included with the Steam version. If they are not, well, they could have mentioned that this is a crippled version. German voices are a must.

+++ Edit: Wait, I still have the press preview-version on DVD. I know it has the German voices. I can probably copy them manually.

If you open your steam games tab r click on the SH5 select properties the last tab has an option to select which language to play in.
TRY THAT it may work...I will later but I need to get some other things sorted on this

I just did that. There are a number languages available. This probably changes UI and everything else to German. I only want voices, just like in the press preview. I gave it a shot and it started downloading something...

+++ Edit: Yes, it changes EVERYTHING to German. Not what I want. Back to English, then I try to copy the German voices from the preview DVD I have.

Then copy the german voice files now to an extra directory (as described above) download it in english again and overwrite the files or activate the german speech with JSGME.

Where's the problem?!

D2D version doesn't have them "on disc", but probably in the data2.cab which doesn't open normally. Anyone know what opens that file?

Great minds think alike - I just thought of it myself. I also decided to keep the intro video in German.
