Re: Need for Speed 2016 language change

@Abdul_MalikGhana @amiga4ever @TAPE971 @exodus_cl @Th3Bl00dyN1n3r

The Russian and Polish versions of the game won't be able to change their language. This also means that the Standard version of the game won't be able to change language to either Russian or Polish.

For all other language changes you can right-click Need for Speed in Origin and select Game Properties.

EDIT:

Solution posted by @TAPE971 for when you cannot change the language of the international version through normal means:

I have finally changed the language to english. 

I had to change the language in my registry ( regedit.exe -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Need For Speed) and in origin as well. Doing only one of both DID NOT work for me.

    No, it is not working, if you change the language for the game in Origin, tried that, or it ain't working on the german version too. -.-

    That is because certain versions of the game (such as the Russian and Polish version), won't be able to change their language.

    I double-checked your account and I noticed that you have the international version of the game. I am not sure why you weren't able to change the language of the game through normal means.

    I am glad that you managed to change the language now. I hope you're enjoying the game. Thanks for coming back and sharing the solution with us.

    I just bought the game, i live in Russia, so the game came in Russian/Polish. NOTHING said that before i buy the game! No warning at all. So of course i asked for a refund. Why you do this EA? Just Why?

    So, still no English language for Russian buyers? What a silly decision. Well, still no buy for me. Hoping to get the non-f_d game before it dies from aging.

    If you really want to play the game in English then I would recommend to check with a third-party retailer for availability.

    @Straatford87
    Thank you for the answer. I'd like to buy and play the new NFS - but not so much to search for the way to do that. There is so many great games not requiring so many efforts to get. I just don't understand why EA and one another company (not to mention it here) are trying to create such a silly obstacles for those who want to buy their games in a proper form. What the point of making less money and making customers believe that company really don't care about what they want and what they need.
    Just making my point and hoping that one day in the future someone responsible would make things right and fix the broken.

    I understand, and agree with you that this isn't the best method for our players to get our games. We are looking at how we can improve the system, but currently I don't have any further options for you.

    @Straatford87 Yes, i know and thank you. I really appreciate your involvement. I know how hard it is to communicate with dissatisfied customers when the system is wrong and you can do nothing 🙂

    Just trying to make a difference.

    Hi there,

    You are welcome - just know that all the EA members that you meet here on the forums are always looking out for the players. We do our very best to get things changed for you, but sometimes that takes time, and at other times it simply isn't possible.

    Kind regards,

    @Straatford87Is there a way to set international EU version to Russian language? I bought this game for my father and he likes to play it in his mother tongue but the only supported languages are: Deutsch (DE), English (US), Español (ES), Français (FR), Italiano, Português (BR). Thx in advance!

    That´s from 2016. But i highly doubt it would work for you for two reasons.

    1. You have a russian/polish version of the game which wasn´t or still isn´t able to change the language. Unless there are language mods for it now... don´t know.

    2. You´d have to change the language in Origin as well as your registry and considering it´s a torrented version of the game you don´t use origin to play the game and therefor can´t change the language in Origin for this solution to work.

  • @TAPE971 Sorry to bother you, I have the Russian/Polish version on Origin, and as I tried the method you posted from back then, it would still default to the Polish language. Another method I saw on reddit where it involved going into the game files and deleting from the localization folder the other language files but keeping the English one. Tried that, it automatically kicked me out saying I need to log in to an account that either can play in English or use the language it came in. Would you please be able to provide a response for this issue? I searched through most forums and most of the other results were for Heat or Payback. Thank you.
