Black Ops installing in German not English

[Ledlar]

Hi everyone,
I recently bought COD black ops off amazon UK, put the disk in and installed steam fine. I then proceeded to download BO and once I did, the game came up in German even though I bought a UK version (supposedly) from amazon. I've tried looking everywhere for how to change the language but can't find anything - I've set the language of my steam installation to english and tried changing the registry language entry from DEU to ENG but nothing works! I really don't understand why this is happening since it definitely says its the English version :s any help would be much appreciated!

Hi I'm also getting the same problem. I've reinstalled - no luck. My Steam language is set to English and has been since Steam launched way back around the time of HL2.

The disk itself seems ok - English files. The problem seems to be when Steam downloads some extra files. This includes the Austrian localization file for some reason.

I've tried the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE fix, but the files referred to aren't shown (so scratch that one) - plus I've bought the UK version, not some dodgy Russian version.

I've also tried verifying the install via Properties option on the COD black ops option in my Steam Library, but again no luck.

No response as yet from Steam support (and from other online discussions, I doubt there will be).

I'll probably end up returning this for an exchange to Amazon but now I'm concerned I'll get the same problem with a replacement. Can't believe it's beyond the wit of Steam to get this right.
