Re: Game conversion to change the language (?)

I'm from Ukraine. Playing on PC, Windows 10

I bought the game in Origin 

The old App allowed to change the language. Has there been any changes or is there a command line to change it?
Because that Is a pretty strange thing to do. Haveing a game in different languages and then not offering them.

@gevatter_Lars 

You also could not have changed the language in Origin if the game was purchased in this region.

The region itself is language locked. (For this and afaik about any other game they sell.)

Unfortunately I have this same exact issue with Andromeda. I bought it back on origin when it came out and I have played it in english before. But now when I wanted to replay the whole thing I had to install it from scratch thanks to the change to the ea app and I couldn't set the language to english again.

To be very clear here, I have bought and played the game in english, but now its in german.
I do not want to play the game in german.

@GonzoWhocares 

So you can't change the language in the in game menu under "Einstellungen > Sprache"?

I can change the text language, but not the voice over. And the german VO is attrocious. 

@GonzoWhocares 

Yeah, it is not very good at least.

You bought the game on Origin being in Germany at the time? 

I bought the deluxe edition in origin back when it came out. I installed it, played it in english twice, never uninstalled it. Now I wanted to replay it and the EA App told me I have no access. So I reinstalled it and now its with english text and german VO. And yes, I'm located in germany.

And the german VO is very much attrocious. Alec Ryder talks to his child like one would to a stranger. No native german speaker had their hand in doing the translation.

I just realised that I have this issue with ALL my EA games now....

... wow, just wow!

• Make sure EA app and Steam are closed.
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
• Move the "License" folder to your desktop.

Clear your temp files:

• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
• Into the new window, type or copy & paste:  "%temp%"   (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER"
• Now your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
  (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

Then:

• Go here and download "Revo Uninstaller". (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
• Run "Revo Uninstaller" > Uninstall EA Desktop.
• At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. > Select "Moderate" > Browse.
• If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed > Select All > Delete > Next
• When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed > Select All (Make sure the "Origin Games" folder is not in the list) > Delete.
• Restart the PC > Reinstall the newest version of EA app from here.

• Repair the game.
  (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)

• Test.

Thank you very much for the effort. Didn't work though.

@GonzoWhocares 

Still only able to change the text language?

What region is set inside EA app?

(Die drei Linien oben links > Einstellungen > Anwendung.)

Also check your account region settings at EA.com

Yes, still only able to change the text language, which also still defaults to english.
The EA App language is set to english, but the region is (was) german.

@GonzoWhocares Hey, I took a look and I see that you do have the version that should allow all languages. I also saw you had an EA Play sub which could be conflicting when you download the game.

If you have the game installed please first uninstall it. and then go to the EA App Store, type in the game, and see if two game icons show up for you. One would say in the library or EA Play on it. just to make sure it isn't downloading the EA Play one.

I would like you to test out the app for me. When you go to download the game again, does this option show up for you? Can you change it to the language you want? Once that is downloaded can you go into the settings and check and see if, when installed in another language it gives you the option to choose English? 

I installed the same version I see you have from within my library and I can see the changes. If all you see is one specific language, that would indicate either a bad install or the wrong language version is being installed.

I have uninstalled the game and when selecting the download option it does show a language selection where it defaults to english. When redownloading it the first time last week I did not get a language selection there. I am assuming it has something to do with changing my region settings in the EA App.
The EA play sub was ages ago, if I remember correctly I only got it as a bundle thing back when I bought Andromeda in the first place right when it came out.

Thank you for your help.

@GonzoWhocares I tried a second time and when I downloaded it again, the audio was only EN but the text allowed me to change different languages. It may be that in order to do both, you need to install it in the language you want that way the audio and text both match that language.
