ONLY GERMAN LANGUAGE

I Have this problem for a long time right now. I Contacted the EA they said they cant do anything i bought a retail OG COPY of the game from internet. Now i cant play  LAN with my friends because the origin and retail version is diffrent. i tried to change the language via files i cant do that either the game crashes. GIVE ME A SOLUTION WHY CANT EA JUST CHANGE THE GAME IN MY ACCOUNT PLEASE HELP ME. And most importantly the game is CENSORED. I am not a GERMAN citizen or any relation with GERMANY.

    German versions are a different release because they contain censorship, and were never allowed to be sold in Germany without that censorship. How/where did you buy that? If you just bought it off Origin, then your version shouldn't be German...

    However, for Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun, that doesn't actually matter; all three of these games are freeware, and they have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. You can find them here:

    Command & Conquer 1:

    Red Alert 1:

    Tiberian Sun:

    • Full game (scroll down to "single player, patches, linux and mac" and select "Single Player Campaign (Windows)" in the dropdown)

    I have no idea about the languages included in the TS release, though; might be that's just English. C&C1 contains English, French, German and voices-only Japanese, and more language packs for it are available on the ModDB page. Red Alert, I believe, comes with English, French and German, and a wide array of fan-translations.

    I Bought the game from Munich a pyhsical copy of the game and in it the code i tought i can change the games language. when i buy the game online. Not a CD/DVD i tought wrong. I know they are freeware but the those games origin versions are diffrent from the OG ones like generals. But WHY ??? just disable DRM protection and good to go why you need to make a whole diffren system for Ultimate collection....  and the games you say i already bought them 2 decades ago. There are masterpieces but when it comes to origin oh god i cant even change the language of the game i GOT A RETAIL COPY AND ITS ENGLISH i HAVE ALL THE FILES I NEED. and it still doesent accept the old Files just WHY. and a fact the OG game doesent launch when you insatlled Origin version......
