Bourboncigar Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) So for some reason my game decide to roll back to using german voices, instead of english ones. The UI is still in english though. This happened completely random. Have tested mods in question many times before, since I value relatively bug free gameplay. language never changed. ever. The last mod that was added to to the list was botox for skyrim, idk shouldnt really cause any issue of that sort. I set it to english ages ago, when I disconnected it from any updates, and made the Appmanifest read only. The only Time I tampered with the game files was for enb, and moving xedits scripts folder. nothing else was deleted or added. I dont use mods in any language except english. havent touched the Language settings in MO ever before this bug occured as far as I can remember. changing the ini in mo2 doesnt do jack. ini in original game folder also in english. checked steam, game still wants to update, so version is correct. also set to english still I wouldnt mind, german voice acting is good, but those Khajiit Voices just make your ears bleed, and the argonians sound like even heavier smokers. So is this Todd trying to force himself back into my Game, or has someone ever experienced this bizzarre Phenomenon? EDIT: after deleting the voices_ger0.bsa (that I hadnt noticed before) I simply changed the voices bsa in both inis (Documents and MO2) from voices_ger0 to voices_en0. Save, done. (also if anyone has a similar bug and reads this, do not delete shyt if theres only one voices bsa in the folder. Except If you hate talking npcs). SUSTENANCE !!!!

anjenthedog Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Afaik, you can switch the game language by changing a setting in Skyrim.ini (aside from any peculiarities a given mod might introduce to its content) sLanguage=ENGLISH Should be the first entry below the header at top page in the ini file And just in case you're not aware already, Skyrim.ini is located in your /Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/ folder. Hope it helps, good luck PS> I've found it useful to create a series of shortcuts to various areas like the Skyrim.ini file location, Racemenu preset folder, player meshes and textures, etc, and store them in their own folder that I drop into the desktop for easy access. Open skyrim shortcuts folder, double click loc entry, and bam you're there, no pissing around with memorizing folder locations and navigating the file manager.... fyi fwiw ymmv blah blah blah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronOfMpls Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Also, since you're using Mod Organizer, check the .ini's in your MO profiles too, as well as any contained in your mods' folders. Definitely sounds like something somewhere is set to the wrong language!

I take a lot of screenshots, so it's a handy place for me to look from. Edited February 27 by AaronOfMpls I accidentally a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not just one-offs (some item, building, cave, ruin, house, character etc improperly addressed in another language than the expected), I'd think it was the general setting, but...maybe not. And yes, Skyrim screen shots are one of mine. ( I call them snapshots but whatever) about half are shown Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was precisely it. Somehow the ini in the documents was still set to german. Interestingly enough around the same time this bugged out MO2 went back to ger 2. Didnt change the UI however (only the setting), so didnt see it til I looked closer. Suspect either its the infinite hellscape that modding is, or in some stupor I took a dump, that I´ll probably regret later.... I also found out that this sneaky basterd spawned a ger voices bsa. Looked a bit through the ini and the game doesnt seem to even list the english voices. So I just deleted the ger bsa. Now its quiet. very relaxing. not sure if I shouldnt just keep it this way, since it would make unvoiced mods so much more immersive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably doesn't exist on your system, if you're on Windows. I'm on Linux -- and Steam for Linux has compatibility stuff (Wine/Proton) to let you run Windows games on it.

Hows it generally regarding comp with programs? (since a lot of stuff is win only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works pretty well, in my experience. Though some games need settings tweaks (like specific versions of Steam Proton) to run correctly -- which you can find in various places online (like ProtonDB for Steam games, WineHQ's AppDB for for Windows programs in general (in Wine), and some individual games' fan sites). Definitely Google around a bit for specific games you might want to play. And definitely Google around if you play heavy online multiplayer games (like MMOs). Some of their Windows anti-cheat software doesn't work well on Linux. Then, too depending on what you play, you might find some of your games have Linux versions already. Also, side note: Running old MS-DOS games was solved a long time ago by DOSBox -- which has had Windows, Mac, and Linux versions (among others) from a pretty early date.
