Game Launches in Chinese - Wrong Language

I think it is Chinese.

My EA App is set to English.

I can't read anything.

    Hey everyone,

    For all of you that are having this issue. It seems that the game was installed on Chinese as that was the Default language. To fix this situation, please follow the next steps:

    • Uninstall the game
    • Click "Download"
    • Select English on the Language Preferences option

    Enjoy the racing!

    Even after uninstalling and reinstalling in the correct language the commentary is Chinese, however, go to Audio Settings and select F1 to reset to defaults and voila its fixed 😎

  • For anyone else having this issue and before downloading the complete game again as advised by EA try the following, it works 100% and will save you ages in time when you find out that even after selecting the correct language it'll still start in Chinese anyway!

    To fix the game starting in Chinese and in case you downloaded the wrong language version you can change the language by doing the following.

     

    Completely close out of F1 2024 and the EA app, make sure in Task manager to be sure to get rid of any and all EA processes running. Then all you need to do is to open regedit and go to the following key - Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\codemasters\F1_24 . Then open LOCALE key and change it to en_US or whatever your equivalent language code is and press enter for it to change and then quit out of regedit. Finally right click the F1 2024 shortcut on your desktop and run it as Admin (might not have to do this but I did) and you should finally see F1 2024 load up in English or whatever language you chose.
