[PC] Alan Wake Epic Games Store Language

Anonymous

Hi,

I got Alan Wake on Epic Games Store but the game is in English and I can't put it in French.

I've looked for solutions for Steam and GoG versions but there is none for EGS and those that I checked don't work. Have anybody an idea to change the language of the game?

Thank you.

    The launcher is in French by default, I've already used the verify but without success. According to the file I showed and the store, others languages are present but the matter is Remedy didn't include the language option ingame and the solutions from Steam and GOG don't work.

    When I install the game, the launcher doesn't ask me for a language. I uninstalled then reinstalled to see if I didn't miss it, but nothing. It only asked me to select the folder.

    I'm not the only one with this problem, I read others French players have too. As I have understood, the game is in English by default and players have to change the language themselves.

    And about the others solutions, I have checked and tried before posting.

    To save time I would contact the Game's Support, which is included with any game's purchase.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the answers but I'm afraid the problem remains.

    I've looked for the language file before posting here and the only I found is locale_config. Here is the file :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    -<locale_config>

    <!--xgetlanguage_id, this attribute must be set to one of the values that XGetLanguage may return.xgetlocale_id, this attribute must be set to one of the values that XGetLocale may return.folder attribute must be set to the name of the folder that contains data specific to the locale being definedbink_voiceover_channel attribute must be set to the channel number that is to be used for localized audio in Bink video files.bink voiceover channel numbers: english = "2", german = "6", french = "7", italian = "8", spanish = "9", lat-am spanish = "10", japanese = "11"subtitle_default attribute must be set to "0" if subtitles are to be off when the Game starts with no User Profile -->

    I'm sorry for what you're going through but because of what you present the best thing I can recommend is that you communicate with the game creation support
