Funny thing happened to me because I just ordered a chopper to pick my team up and was thinking I wonder if AI was stupid enough to crash on landing. BAM 1 minute later he did. LOL

Sure but the patch is universal isn't it? (Language option in the game menu being used instead.) or perhaps that's not how it works, will upload the files if they're required.

EDIT: Patch is well packed, comes with DX9 March 2009 redist and is still only 120 MB packed but the actual patch file is nearly 200 MB.

yes the patch is universal but it does not add english language option to the german version. even the devs said that english is not added in this patch.
would appreciate if you can post the english language files after patching to 1.02.
thanks.

Of course, just finished installing it, here's the files set up as a game modification to avoid messing with any original data. Smile
(Wonder if chaning language=German to Language=English would have sufficed, it's the ArmA2.cfg file in the profile folder, usually placed in C:\Users\UserName\My Games\ or instead of the folders leading to my games it would be \Appdata\Local somewhere unless the -profile parameter is used with the game to dictate were such files go.)

Actually those are the files I have after patching to 1.02 (See the filedate? all files processed by the patch wether they're updated or not, patch is cumulative, get updated dates.), perhaps they haven't changed since 1.01?
(English version is 1.01 beta so perhaps they were updated to 1.01 final assuming there were no changes in 1.02, it's also possible that the German language files were patched further than the English ones in 1.02 as this copy is multi-language but doesn't include German text.)

EDIT: Bonus, full changelog from the readme file.
Code:

something is wrong with your patching.
after patching to 1.02. your arma2.exe file is suppose to change to 1.2 in the product version. and when you run the game bottom right shows 1.02 not 1.01.

and the languages files are also modified after patching. files that are modified are suppose to show updated filedate. but yours are all dated yesterday 19/6.

somehow your files are not patched.

Aww crap I uploaded the wrong archive!
(There's not supposed to be a EXE or anything in there at all.)

EDIT: That's the previous language file actually, just delete it it's not useful at all.

EDIT: Here, sorry for the messup.

If you downloaded my archive then it's set up to work as a modification, place the folder in the root directory \ArmA2\ most often so it'll look like \ArmA2\@English\ with a Addons and Dta folder.

Then create a shortcut to the ArmA2.exe and add to the target field "-nosplash" and -mod=@English (*.*\ArmA2.exe -nosplash -mod=@English) this is to avoid messing with original files and as they're signed (The .bisign) file they will work in multiplayer. Smile

EDIT: Of course you can move the files and use it as a replacer as well, shouldn't cause any issues.
(Unless I misunderstood and this is what you've done in the first place.)

Sounds exactly like the system used in ArmA 1 which is unfortunate as it's not something I can fix. Sad

Basically the patch is for all versions of the game so all languages are present but as with ArmA 1 the cd-key is locational so with a German release you get German language and so on, need a new serial basically.
(You could try to use the files as a replacer but it won't really make a difference if the above is correct.)

However thinking a bit about it perhaps using the beta files as a mod instead of a replacer might work as a form of temporary solution and I guess the .PBO files could be unpacked and "stripped" of other languages as a sort of extreme solution but I don't know how well that would work.

EDIT: I can do that after checking the PBO content, basically I'll switch the English and German tags to "swap" the languages.

EDIT: Experimental release, might work but it's not exactly a clean solution.

1) Are the serials really localized ? Because I want to buy a cdkey for the game soonish.

2) The retail release has dvd-based securom, amirite ? Where's the clonedvd ?

By the way, again cool changes in the 1.02 patch, I hope they keep it up. I'm still waiting on the english rlz, haven't played the game yet Sad

I'm fairly certain the serial is what determines localization, game is identical across all versions as of 1.02 and the language files I uploaded contains a ton of different languages yet only a few can be selected from the actual game and with a German based serial only the German language is available.

Protection for the download edition and disc edition is SecuROM but there's a mini-image and with a serial number and a couple of extra files (Paul.dll, lang.ini and unicows.dll from the german digitial download.) you can skip the disc check and use digital activation, though for now a mini-image works OK (English download edition posted earlier doesn't include those files yet there's no disc check or similar either which made me initially believe that they were unprotected but SecuROM is still used with it.)

Unfortunately the serial number is in some sort of binary format (Registry value) so changing it by hand is difficult compared to just reinstalling.

The translation files I uploaded now differ from the retail ones and thus are no longer signed which means they can't be used for secure online play which is a bit of a downside but there was no other solution, at least until a English copy is released with a serial key.

ok i tried using pbo viewer program to open the language pbo files and there is a stringtable.xml file inside.
inside i see different languages.
i did a comparison between the earlier pbo file which you posted and there was english in the game and the later one.
the earlier one did not have <german> text in the stringtable.xml file but the other one had it.
my idea is trying to remove that <german> text from the xml file from the patched 1.02 pbo file.
maybe it works this way.

Four or five posts up I provided a file which will rather crudely turn all <German>Mein</German> and <English>My</English> (In those xml files) to German and as <English>TextHere comes after the <German>TextHere you somewhat force the game to display English subtitles. Very Happy

in the xml file i think just remove the <german> text strings will be enough. because in the earlier pbo file you posted (the one which worked , english in the game) did not have the <german> text inside.

That's a interesting comment and it might work by forcing the game to only use what's available but carefully cutting out everything from those XML files (Largest one being 7MB, all text.) would be a bit difficult compared to the current solution where there's two German language headers that kinda conflicts.

Still it's a interesting idea. Smile

i notice that only the languagecore.pbo file has those <german> text strings. and believe that this file is for the ingame menu language.

You can force it on in your config file, set fsaa=0 to 1 or 2 or 3. set your config file to read only and should keep setting. Only prob is that shadows wont work, they will include properly later.
