[Rommel30]

Hi all, finally got around to installing my dvd of this today (busy with 2mth old baby )

the only hard copy i could get however was from germany, i was assured i could switch it to english, could someone please tell me how to do so and also what is the latest patch ( does 1.6 come with installer yet?) and the patching process. Thank you

Save yourself a world of trouble and just spend the $9.99 to download the game from Gamersgate. Trust me, it is so much easier and won't cost you more than the price of a movie, but will provide many more hours of enjoyment.

But, if you don't mind torturing yourself to save less than $10, by all means, hold out for an answer on these forums and all the other "tech support" you're likely going to need for your situation. Or just spend a few dollars and start having fun TODAY.

AOD/settings

0 #LANGUAGE (0=english, 1 = french etc..)
1 #MUSIC (1 for on)
0 #WINDOWED MODE (1 for on)
europa.valkyrienet.com
1024 #Width
768 #Height
1 # Disable intro

change to 0 in the first line

1.6 is available if you register your game

i think for the patching process you just need 1.6

Hi! You can change your settings.txt file as bestmajor says, or run Arsenal.exe instead of AoDgame.exe and choose "English" from the drop-down 'Language' box (this will change the settings.txt file for you).

If you register your game, 1.06 is available as a .rar file in the Tech Support sub-forum. You would need a program like winRar to open this, then just extract to the AoD folder. For the hardcopy version I don't think an auto-update program is available, so far.

2mins from reading these posts to having the game appear in English, no trouble at all

Not launched a campaign yet, will look at registering now and sorting out the patch, thanks everyone, will be back if I have any more problems

I sit corrected! I have seen many people struggle through far more over much less in these forums.

Had I known it would be that easy I would have never suggested breaking down and forking over the $10 for the Gamers Gate file. (Although I still suspect you may be faced with some issues in the future related to your hard copy).

At any rate, I just wanted to repost because I re-read my original post and it did not come across at all like I intended it to. I sounded like kind of an ass - and believe me, that was not my intention at all.
