ME LE edition magically changed and support can't do anything about it

I'm Italian and have bought the correct edition with italian language included, never unistalled the game and after a year the only languages selectable are english, polish and russian. I asked the support team about it and they said that can't do anything about it cause they see that i have installed the EU version in wich the italian language is not included and sent me to ask on the forum. For me it's absurd that they can't help me, the version of the game changed magically and don't know why, just revert back the error that happened, i've put 350 hours on it, if i had the wrong version from the start i would have contacted the support long ago trying to make them change it, sorry if my english is bad but it's no my native language as i said, ty for having the time to read this and maybe help with this thing

    Sorry, we don't have a way to assist directly on the forums. We can't make any changes.

    That said, this is interesting, hopefully we can at least understand what's happened here.

    How did you acquire your current version of the game? From what I can see it looks like you played it first using an Italian EA Play membership, which would have IT included, but then you later got a generic version, presumably with fewer language options.

    It could be the case that this newer version shouldn't have had the IT option, but you were able to bypass this because of the pre-existing IT language install.
  • My friends gifted me the key cause they know i am a ME addict, when i redeemed it it was correct, had all the language options, as i said i played it 350 hours in italian, only now after a year there are only 3 languages. I just want to play it in my native language again, right now i'm using an alternative launcher that allow me to select italian but it's still a shame that nobody can help me, even the support team

    Sorry  my risotto was burning and forgot to add that the game is the same, never unistalled, never changed origin or ea play account, just fewer language options. And for the EA play thing is impossible, i played the game without the subscription active and was fine

    @holger1405nah, probably k inguin or site like that one, when i reedemed i rember italian as a supported language tho, i think the languages were italian, french, german and spanish if i remember correctly, but i am 100% sure it was the correct version of the game. Edit: last time i played the game was july 2022,  first time maybe a month or two after the launch, why during this timeline never had problem and after almost a year this thing happened? I just want to play in my language again, with a modified launcher i don't have problem but still i feel teased that even the support can't do something about that

    Sorry, if support has confirmed they can't help, we don't have any further steps.
    It sounds like the code gifted didn't have Italian, but due to a bug/your previous install, it let the game still access italian.

    I know we've had some quiet backend cleanups around some older games over the past few months, so I'd assume that edge cases like this were addressed during such actions, but I don't have any confirmation.

    Sorry again that we can't assist with the matter.
