Help! My language is busted

[wadaholic]

Having a few reports of menus breaking, have a patch deploying soon to resolve this, but for now set your launch options to:

-language=en

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

That fixed it! Also wish a successful launch, your game is amazing!

[wadaholic]

Thanks!!

[WEATHY]

wadaholic your game is truly awesome you're a legend!

Is there another way to fix it in the meantime? Config file somewhere, etc?
...Delete "localization-string-tables-chinese(simplified)(zh)_assets_all.bundle"
from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Turbo Overkill\Turbo Overkill_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64 maybe?

EDIT:
FOUND A FIX THAT WORKS (if the original solution does not work)

1-With game off, go here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Turbo Overkill\Turbo Overkill_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

2-Move the "localization-string-tables-..." files to a safe place (i created a subfolder called "TEMP". Leave the English one.

--> DO NOT MOVE THESE:
localization-assets-shared_assets_all.bundle
localization-locales_assets_all.bundle
localization-string-tables-english(en)_assets_all.bundle

3-Launch the game. Notice the menu is readable despite error text.

4-Navigate to the Language setting under "!!! 'menu_settings' !!!" and set it to English.

That fixed it for me right away.

5-Close game, put all the files back where they were. Launch game. Enjoy!

Should be a language select menu now. Only reason it took so long was because I fell asleep WITHOUT SETTING THE UPDATE IN STEAM TO ROLL OVER..... rip

[The Great Minblin]

I do not have a language select menu in my copy of the game. Everything is in Spanish, but luckily I took Spanish in school so can make my way around a little. Still would be great if it was in English though. I'll try the workaround but, again, no language select menu available and the game is fully updated in Steam.

Mine is in German. setting launch options to -language=en does nothing. I can't find a language select menu. I clicked on everything.
Nevermind, I just found it.

Mines in spanish and the -language=en does not fix it. Going to refund it if I cant get this fixed in the next 10 minutes. Not going to soak to much into it. The demo was in English. What gives?

You can't be serious, lmao. Have some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ patience. Reinstalled the game? Verified the game files?

Its because when games make me do this, such as going into the files and moving stuff around, it just isnt worth it to me. There are games where Ive spent literal hours trying to get to work. Think Insurgency Sandstorm, Pavlov Vr. I just dont want to mess around.

Why cant a game I buy work in my language? I purchased it in the USA so why isnt it default to US? I would expect if I was in a Spanish speaking country it would default to Spanish?

So am I wrong for thinking a product should work out of the box?

Either way I was able to fix it and rocking the game.

Understandable. No one likes bugs, esp when they interrupt your first experience. But this isn't abandonware. The game has been working great and just had a unexpected/easily fixable language bug on release.

The dev is the one who posted this thread to let us know. I found a second solution that only takes 20 seconds to do. It's actively being updated.

Glad you got it working so you don't have to miss out on the fun.

mfs be like why doesnt everybody work with the precision of a robot why isnt this indie game absolutely perfect in every way lol

[Ghost_Train]

Again, if -language=en didn't work check my Chicken McNormie "fix" (4th post in this thread)

1 go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Turbo Overkill\Turbo Overkill_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

2 move only the non-english language files [ie. spanish, chinese, etc] (don't delete)

3 start game and chose your language in settings menu

4 put files back

DONE


Looks like it got updated today though so hopefully you don't have to.
This might be a good workaround to keep in mind for other games if this ever happens
