Re: Missing languages (both text and commentary) over PC version FC25

Update: Please make sure to select your preferred language during the installation process when installing the game from Steam.


Thank you all for reporting the trouble you have with the language version of your game. I'd be happy to investigate further. Could you please provide more details to help us understand the issue better?

- Platform where you purchased the game (EA app, Steam, another store):
- Game version (Standard or Ultimate Edition):
- Summary of the issue:
- Country/Region:
- Purchase date:
- Images of the languages available during installation and in the game menu (Game Settings > Audio):

    Just to clarify, does it mean that despite selecting the correct language on Steam during installation, the game interface and subtitles are still unavailable in the game?

    @EA_PulsarI do have this also on EA APP, even thought the languages showed as part of the purchase process

    When you actually go into the installation mode those are the only options:




    So if the game is somehow limited by the region you buy, to the languages you are able to see this is misleading information from your store, also as mentioned over the thread many people would have decided to buy in a different region to make sure to get a specific language.

    Hope this info helps!

  • Why are you marking the topic as solved? Our problem is not solved? I chose Turkish when installing the game. Only Turkish when the game first opened. After that, the Turkish option disappeared. There are all language options except Turkish. I did all the operations correctly. You have a large player base in Turkey, I don't think you want to lose that.

  • Ea app (refunded) ultimate edition

    steam (refunded) ultimate edition

    I choose to refund the game because isn’t possible that 2 years ago I could play fifa 23 in Italian on ea app, 

    and this year I spend like 90 euros in a game that shows Italian but i can’t play in Italian.

    it doesn’t make sense.

    i found out that if you redeem the ultimate edition pack (the extra pack, of the ultimate edition) the game change the language pack, but i prefered to don’t take the risk 

    I don’t want to waste my money in something that isn’t the way is promised

    It took me several hours on researching the solution or try to contact ea or steam

    and steam told me I should ask to ea

    but the ea chat isn’t possible to be reached.

    i wanted to play a game that i paid for, but it took me only stress.

    @AleVanDerVaart23 May I please ask where have you seen that information? I'd like to investigate that further


    @YerliPanda Please note the header on the Accepted solution post. This is only for the visibility so others can see and get notification that we are looking into this 


    While we continue to investigate, I wanted to double check some information that may be helpful. 

    - Could you please verify if you're able to select your preferred language during the game's installation on Steam?* ( see the screenshot below.)

    - Do you install your game in default location? 
     
    - Is your Steam account registered in the same region as your current location?

    - Are you using an active VPN on your PC while purchasing or installing the game?

    Hi @EA_Pulsar Just making also sure you saw my reply, also as the one that started the thread 🙂

    I feel you are only focusing into Steam at the moment, just want to make it clear the issue is also on the EA APP, and maybe what I want to get clarification from EA's side is why, if languages are limited somehow by region... in the purchase process this is not clear, and all languages are shown as avaliable? That's probably the first pointer in here that would like to get a solution.

    So maybe that's a good point now to start from there, second if you go and check my last post, where I showed the screenshot of avaliable languages, can clearly show to you that there seems to be a clear issue there.

    Another clear example, I have a Spanish friend living in the US, and he wanted to play the game in Spanish from Spain, but is not avaliable that option also in US only Latam Spanish, so everything points out that a lot of the issues are coming from some "region language lock" but is just not clear over the sales process, at this point all of us that have bought the game under the assumption that we will get all the languages are not getting that, pretty much it can be considered false advertisement, and there should be some way to fix this for everyone that bought under that assumption. (Maybe EA rolling out an update so EVERY language will be avaliable as shown in the purchase process)

    Hope this is clear, and if you require some more info we are more than happy to bring the needed info.

    PS: I also believe that marking this as "solved" might give the wrong impression, and just to clarify as the original poster there is no clear solution yet for this.

    - Platform where you purchased the game (EA app, Steam, another store): EA app
    - Game version (Standard or Ultimate Edition): Ultimate Edition
    - Summary of the issue: Italian language in the menu not available. Commentary in Italian during the match not available
    - Country/Region: Purchased in Qatar (no VPN used)
    - Purchase date: 17/8/2024
    - Images of the languages available during installation and in the game menu: attached

  • Question 1 : Yes, I have chosen the Turkish language and the Turkish region.
    Question 2 : Yes. I have a screenshot
    Question 3 : Yes. I have a screenshot
    Question 4 : No, I don't use a VPN or similar program

    Anything else? 



  • Question for everybody here on PC: can you actually choose other commentary languages? For me the option is greyed out. Was also the case in FC24. I'd like all the existing commentary languages to choose from, I used to change them to the country my career was in for emersion.

    In the disclaimer I found this: (in Dutch, translation below)

    AUDIO- EN TEKSTCOMMENTAAR

    Voor pc (EA app): Tekst- en audiocommentaar in andere talen dan Engels en de geselecteerde taal in de EA app moeten apart worden gedownload.

    AUDIO AND TEXT COMMENTARY

    For PC (EA app): Text and audio commentary in languages ​​other than English and the selected language in the EA app must be downloaded separately.

    This suggests that other languages are available for download. Shouldn't be too hard to make them available as ad-ons.

    When I download the 10-hour trial version in the EA APP application, there is a Turkish language option, but when I buy it on steam, it is not Turkish even though I install Turkish

    I am actually confused why these simple questions are so difficult to answer. I am a German living in Singapore. Same story. Prior purchase on EPLAY PC Platform , German language is advertised but when selecting language during install German isn’t available nor is German available inside the game. Btw commentary is greyed out and cannot be changed either. Same already happened last years but EA doesn’t care. So what’s the simple workaround. All these comments are tru EA is misleading their customers but do they actually care about it????
