ww2steel Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi, Anybody have the German version on an English machine? I was considering getting a CDV German copy and installing it. Not all CDV versions have multilanguage, correct? I actually need a German copy? Wondering if I will have to change my PC language settings to German. Also looking for the best place to get it from. I have the German BMP files but keep seeing other people with everything in German and I'm jealous! Thanks for any info! Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I have the CDV version running on an English system. Originally the game was the German version, but I changed it to English with a multi-language update patch and a few registry tweaks. You probably could do the same in reverse if the version number of your CD is lower than 1.02. The steps to carry out would be: 1. Install CMBB from the CD (hopefully version 1.0). 2. Adjust one or two registry keys. You could try to find the thread where I asked this question some time ago, or you'd have to wait until I get home and have a chance to look at it. 3. Download and install a multi-language update patch. 4. Copy language specific bitmaps and mods to your bmp directory as needed. I hope this helps.

Dschugaschwili Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I just took a look at my registry, but I don't know how the CMBB keys looked like before I changed them to match the English version. So, if somebody else with a real German CDV version could search his registry for Combat Mission and post the keys and values under CDV Entertainment software (or something like that), that would be nice. My harddisk is full, so I can't reinstall CMBB without losing all mods. Dschugaschwili 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Another thing: What's wrong with the search? I know I started a thread on this topic a while back, but it's not found on any CM forum... Dschugaschwili 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww2steel Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 It's probably moved to the 'archive' section. I can post whatever registry items you need when I get this German version. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I searched the archives, too, but couldn't find anything. And I don't need the German registry keys anymore because I'm perfectly happy with my English version. Dschugaschwili 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
