Loading the game costs more time than starting the launcher. Doing so will greatly save players' time, and save the earth by using less energy, huh.

Is this really something you are doing that often? Seems that for most installations setting the game language would be a one time thing.

The launcher should have most of the game rules as options. You can actually kind of do this but you have to open up your saved game rules in notepad and change it each time.
The reason this is so fundamental is for MODDERS. Anyone who has to relaunch the game several times to test thing, especially localization.

Isn't that what the -develop ( or -developer ) parameter is for? That's what I use when modding so I can just change the mod's files and the game reloads them immediately without having to exit and reload the game at all.
I still don't see the point of being able to change the setting in the launcher, unless the game is requiring a restart when changing the language, and even then it is only marginally useful.
As for the modders, since they already are pretty decent at editing text files why wouldn't they just make different copies of the pdx_settings.txt for each language and have a batch file/shell script to swap between them without having to worry about the launcher at all?
