Can't uninstall the game

Question

Hello,I've installed Dead Space 3 over a normal download through Origin, but I now know that it was installed within German, which I do not want at all.Now I've tried several "methods" to change the language that I've found through Google, but none of them worked.So now I switched Origin's language to English and want to re-install the game. The only problem is that I can't uninstall the game.When I click the Uninstall menu item in Origin it opens up the windows menu Programs and Features. Double-clicking on Dead Space 3 or right-clicking and then choosing Uninstall doesn't work. Nothing happens.After several retries and even restarting Origin and my PC I switched to the hidden admin account in Windows 8, but it didn't work there either.I'm really looking for a solution here. This is annoying me so much. I'm not a fan if my pc doesn't do what it's supposed to do without any, at least to my knowledge, reason.Regards,Derezzedjack

Try returning the Origin client language back to what it was when you installed the game and then retry the uninstall. If this does not work the try the following:

Launch Origin and head to your My Games tab. Find and right-click on your game tile and select Game Properties. Enter -language English in the text box that appears and then click Apply.

*Note: the dash before 'language' is a short one rather than the longer one.

Thanks for the reply!@EA_Barry wrote:Try returning the Origin client language back to what it was when you installed the game and then retry the uninstall.What do you mean by that? I didn't download anything except for the latest beta version of Origin after I installed Dead Space 3. That didn't help though and the problem existed before.I also tried adding the -language English to the game properties, though it is still in German.
