Fix for missing voices during cutscenes with non-English languages

[Player333676]

This is a fix for the problem of missing voices in non-English cutscenes. Many players using the Steam or Origin versions of Crysis 3 experience since a recent patch that if you use a language different from English, cutscenes will no longer have voice acting. Despite other voice acting during normal gameplay working perfectly fine. On Steam, this is probably tied to an update ( https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/7739249/ ) that removed files from the Videos2.pak

My fix fixes this problem for the following languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
- Turkish

There is another mod ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2460169415 ) that should fix it for Russian and Polish.

To install, unpack the zip file and paste the Videos2.pak to the <game folder>\C3 and override the file there. Then you can select your preferred language (in Steam or Origin, use their settings) and then voices in cutscenes should be fine.

I can offer the following downloads:
- From Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fiZ2rBtKh2M0uY8pe6XhUtEuq4BkvRf-?usp=sharing
- From Nexusmods: https://www.nexusmods.com/crysis3/mods/2/
- From ModDB: https://www.moddb.com/games/crysis-3/addons/crysis-3-cutscene-audio-fix


For those interested, the technical background about the bug:
The problem is that the videos2.pak file does no longer contain the necessary voice lines for languages other than English. When unpacking the .pak files (requires this tool: https://gamebanana.com/tools/5416 ), you get a number of .usm files. Those can be extracted with VGM toolbox ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmtoolbox ) (tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNnZCewq74U ). Each of those has a different .adx file for each language version, but in the game downloads only the English one is included. More info on the bug can be found in PCGamingWiki.

I started playing Crysis 3 Remastered, and I didn't have voice acting in Russian language in cutscenes, I did everything according to your guide, but now I generally have silence, now during cutscenes no one says anything, you have to read subtitles, how to fix it? How to put Russian voice acting?

This is for the original game, not the remaster.

Unpack the .rar file (right-click -> Extract all). Then put the content into the game folder.
