Subtitles not working
I tried activating subtitles (both closed captions and dialogue only), but it didn't work.

I thought that maybe it didn't have PT-BR (Because Source games always use the same language you use on Steam), but IIRC, BM has Brazilian Portuguese.
I don't really need it, but I like having it on.

Is someone having the same problem?

Edit: Now that I think about it, I think BM doesn't have PT-BR subtitles, I confused it with something else. If that's true, I think I know how to activate english subtitles even though my steam isn't in english.

2nd Edit: I tried activating english subtitles, using the 'cl_language' console command, but it didn't work. I looked for the subtitles files in the BM folder, and I didn't find any file for any language. Does BM's subtitles work differently than HL2's subtitles?

I only found files for the menus, and those included many languages, including PT-BR.

Did you try activating closed captions from your audio options menu?

I cannot get english subtitles to work either.
I even tried the -cc_lang "english"- addition.

That's what I meant with 'activating subtitles', the subtitles option is in the Audio Tab in the Options. I tried both Closed Captions and Dialogue only, but neither worked.

There was an update a few hours ago, later I'll see if that fixed it.
