I just bought Age of Mythologies thinking that there would be the option of using the game through English.

There isn't. Is it possible to download the English language web files or something similar in order to use the game in English?

Usually a good idea is to download the English file contained in a demo version of the game and insert it into the appropriate place.

The demo won't give you even a small portion of what you need for the language requirements for a full version.

I bought Splinter Cell 1 in Korean, and I was able to use an English patch (a regular game update patch, not a special language-changing patch), which converted all the language files back to English. I was lucky because that game had the English files intact somewhere, but that, I fear, may be a rare case.

Chances are you are stuck with Korean.

Thanks butlerian, the demo version seems to have all the .txt files that the korean cd version has...

The only problem now is that the game runs off the CD. The text files are on the CD.

Also, I can't find any files on the hard drive and I don't want to delete my saved games by doing a uninstall/reinstall (I don't know if the installation procedure gives me the option of installing all the files to the hard drive).

I'll burn a CD tomorrow with the same files as those on the CD...only with the English text files this time...will that work?

Copy all the files on the CD to the hard drive. Replace the files you want. Install from the hard drive. Get a "no-cd" patch. Delete the files from the hard drive after installation.

Odd that the demos would have all the language files one needs. They are a lot shorter than the full versions....I guess the language is all the same throughout the game. Interesting.

Not sure if this works, but...

How about "mounting" the game CD/DVD on a virtual drive and manually replacing the Korean text files with English ones? This way -if you're lucky- you wouldn't even need the CD to run the game.

Oh, and another way to play the game without CD is to find a No-CD crack. Go and see if www.gamecopyworld.com has the crack. I personally try to mount and use No-CD cracks with all of my games.

Oh no...Demophobe was right. I found a load (over 600) text files in a folder and assumed that they were the files I needed. They aren't.

I'm stuck with the Korean version.

Thanks for the help, the advice about the no-cd patch is good for those that have the appropriate language files.

I love this game because it plays on my old laptop...even though I'm running around like a headless chicken.
