    Hi everyone,

    We have just released a patch that should fix this issue for anyone still experiencing it. From patch notes:

    Legacy Edition
    An issue was introduced that prevented several languages from being able to properly run the legacy edition. This occurred due to the game client not reading its initialization file in the correct place, which is required in order to launch in the players chosen language. And as a result, the game would crash upon launch if English was not installed. We have fixed this issue. Please also be aware that any player that followed our instructions to perform a manual work around will not need to make any further changes after this patch.

    Please, update your game and let us know how that goes!

    Thanks,

    -Mai
