Dying Light 1 - How to change language

on

I got Dying Light from the Epic Games Store but for some reason it decided to install in Portuguese (?) and there was no line in Options to change the language.

There seems to be two ways to change the language:

(1) If you search the tech support site it says you can delete redundant language data packs

Follow the steps below, please: 

  1. Please, locate your game's installation folder.
  2. You should see folders named DW, DW_DLC1, DW_DLC16 and DW_DLC17 
  3. Inside each of these folders, delete the data packs that aren't listed in the language that you desire. (For example: DataBr (folder) + DataBr.pak)
  4. If you see only the folder, but not the .pak file, delete the folder anyway and move on, please.
  5. Try launching your game after removing all of the data packs that you don't wish to use.

Using this method I noticed the voiceovers weren't changed until I also deleted various Speech__ folders, leaving the only one I wanted (SpeechEn for English)


(2) I also received an email from them with a different solution - use command line

Perform the following steps, please:

  1. Open the Epic Games Launcher
  2. Click your profile icon (the upper-right corner of the window)
  3. Select Settings
  4. Scroll down
  5. Select the game
  6. Check the Additional Command Line Arguments checkbox
  7. Insert -forcelang=xx , where xx is your language ID (such as "en" "de" "fr" "it" "es" "ru" "jp" "pl" "nl" "br" "ko" "cn" "tw" "el" "th" “tr” "cs")
  8. That's it. Launch the game, please!

When I tried the command line solution it did NOT work.
