DarkfallElite Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Would it be possible to change the menu and subtitle language? I'm one of many frustrated people having to deal with EA's language lock problem. I've contacted EA and the store I made the purchase from. Store blames EA, I blame EA. EA tells me tough luck, nothing we can do. I need to find a dealer wishing to sell an international copy. Problem is, I've paid for the game already, I don't want to pay for another!! If there was a way to mod or pay a small fee to change the Russian menus and subtitles out to a full English version, that would be great!!!

Look in this location: C:\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Andromeda\Save In here, you are looking for the file named "ProfOpts". Right click it and open it in notepad. Look for "textLanguage 0". You will change the 0 to a number between 1 and 7, and one of them SHOULD be Russian(didn't test which one would be Russian). Once it is changed, save and start the game. I tested changing the number from 0 to 1 and it changed the menus to French. Hope this helps~! Edited March 21, 2017 by CurisuTrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to be in full English so I imagine Russian will be 1-7 and English would be 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkfallElite Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've had a look through my computer and don't seem to have that file anywhere. Judging from the command link you provided, I imagine I need to have a save file on my computer. I'll try this shortly, game releases in 3 hours and 15 mins approx What I did notice is looking at this folder below showed something that could be interesting: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect Andromeda\Data\Win32\loctext ru.sb ru.toc I get the feeling that maybe changing/swapping those 2 files, whatever they are could help with something. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkfallElite Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Oh, I forgot to mention, I know my post was confusing, I'm looking to change it FROM Russian TO English!! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkfallElite Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 I had to start the game and create a save file, but I did locate the folder you mentioned. I've changed the setting but whenever I start up the game, it changes it back to the default setting it was at before. Still no luck. Can anyone look in their 'Origin Games\Mass Effect Andromeda\Data\Win32\loctext' folder to see what files they have in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
