Help with language problem!

[scorpions]

hi everyone, my problem first started with my bro some how alter the game files, and now the game language is in Russian or a different language ( it look like russian). I ask him but he said he didnt know what happen, so can anyone help me change it back to english? Thank you, and sorry for my bad english

You've illegally obtained a Russian pirated version of the game. Read this topic posted recently and you'll find files to replace to get the game back to English. This post and this post by Jace are the ones you need to get the files from.

first, thank for replying. Second, im not sure how to do this, do i just download the language file and the font file and put them into the install directory? Because after i did that, and try to go to the language option, the game froze.

You should overwrite the old files in whatever directory they're in. I can't remember off the top of my head.

it not working, even when i overwrite it, the language option keep freezing. Thank for your help anyway.

It worked for me... why dont u reinstall the game and try and replace the files see if that works....

Fonts.txd (delete existing file and replace with the new one) heres where u can find it, san andreas directory>models

American.gxt (delete existing file and replace with the new one) heres where u can find it, san andreas directory>Text

if that doesnt work try starting the game

1. Choose the middle one which is Options

2. Then choose the last one which shud be Langugaes.

3. There should be a list of languages.

If you had english first just reinstall. Otherwise upload the files I posted in that other topic and I'll look if that's the problem or not.

Just go step by step through that other thread and then everything should be fine I think.
