August 19, 201411 yr Hi, i run my Windows in English, my steam runs in English, the setting for "Pillars of Eternity" also say "Language: English". The game starts in German anyway. Which is probably the reason why the menu doesn't even work (Menu text is disappearing when moving the mouse). How can i tell PoE to run in English? Yours, Martin P.S. I am German, and i avoid this language in games. Trust me, i have my reasons ;-).
August 19, 201411 yr Author I found a possibility in the settings (quite difficult to find with disappearing texts). This fixed the disappearing texts as well. Dunno why it selected German as Default-Language. Every setting is on English, except the Keyboard.
August 19, 201411 yr Author To avoid possible misunderstandings. There are two places where you can define the game language: Steam properties of the Game: This has no effect whatsoever Options -> Game: Here you can set the language and it has an effect
August 20, 201411 yr thanks for this! I haven't had any luck finding out how to change the language myself (besides the not working steam-option). must have missed this in the options menu
August 21, 201411 yr Just a suggestion to make the ingame option more noticeable, because without Masek's instructions I wouldn't even have thought to click on the displayed language. Maybe the label should be changed from "Language" to something like "Select/Choose your language".
August 21, 201411 yr Alternatively, adding a small downward arrow on the right hand side of the language box would also do the trick to make it recognizable as a clickable dropdown Edited August 21, 201411 yr by feanna
