Finray: Hup! Dos, Tres, Cuatro; +2,629|5996|Catherine Black

First of all, I downloaded CS:S, non-legitimately, and it started in Russian.. but it worked..

Then I got a Steam Account which had CS:S amongst others on it.. so I downloaded CS:S through Steam.. but when I start it it's in Russian..

How do I fix this? It 'loads' in English (The loading button is in English) but then the screen refreshes and it's in Russian.. wtf. Tried right click > properties > language english in Steam but didn't work.

Halp?

Ffs, that took about an hour and a half, any other way of doing it?

Would writing local data and reinstalling help?

My guess is that its downloaded the .gcfs in russian so you'll need to manually delete them and get some fresh english ones.

Any chance you could upload (I'm assuming you have the game) the files I need if they're not too big? Would save me redownloading..

How would it save you the redownloading, if you need to download them agin from his upload?

In Russia, they pirate WoW, and they run their own complete server structure. You pay somethin like $15 for the game, then nothing else for the couple years they keep the server+sales up.

(used to play WoW a little. Got to about half way through the levelling process, got bored and quit.)

I'd imagine it's possible.

No idea how to do it though. Is it just text or are the voices in Russian too?

Ehh it all works now.
Must have just had to restart after taking off the downloaded version.

It was just the text, no russian voices.

EDIT: Oh yeah my whole steam went in Russian too.. Good thing I went to the language centre about 20 times last night, knew how to do it in Cyrillics.

Hahaha, you created a thread here before you even thought to restart the program? Holy wasted effort, Batman!

If a Windows program or game has issues, restart that shit! Golden rule #1!

I'm a fuckwit? When you failed to restart CS:S/Steam/Windows/your computer before laboriously making a thread on an Internet forum, as well as going through all the fuss to find uploaded .GCF files and custom-modify your steam files? Riiiight. Anything on Windows that is broke, a restart will fix. Are you new to this? It's practically a law of physics and science and shit.

It was 2am when I made this topic. And looking back on it, I still don't see a connection to restarting my computer and it working. All the files were removed during the uninstall of the dodgey one, so I assumed the Russian prompt would be too.. what help would restarting do I thought?

Plus, I was downloading and folding.. didn't want to restart anyway.

Anyway, Uzi, go away.

Restarting normally changes registry entries and fully removes key components of a program/process that cannot be ended/removed whilst the system is operational. It's just a rule of thumb, you basically have to go through the chore of restarting Windows everytime you install or uninstall something in order for it to be fully added/removed. Just surprised you didn't 'know' that, it's fairly common knowledge.

I'm not trying to troll anyway so hush your pre-emptive QQ's, I just found it amusing. Wasted effort and all that .

That is not irony and I didn't see any real sarcastic humour to it either. Maybe just me.
