solar.empire: Hi
is it somehow possible to switch to german language in the games (Spellforce Platinum edition and Spellforce 2)?
I originally played the german version of the game many years ago and thought i could do the same with the version sold on gog.
Sadly that doesn´t seem to be possible?
Could gog.com provide the german language files maybe?
Thanks.
To be fair, the product information lists only "English" as the game's language, so we can't really expect it to be multilingual.
That said, most JoWooD games were originally produced in German, and the German voice-acting is usually better than the English, for these games. So it would indeed be very welcome if GOG could get hold of the German files. This would probably make these games even more attractive to German-speaking customers. And since Nordic games acquired all of JoWooD, there shouldn't be any legal/licensing issues involved - the question is just whether GOG wants to pursue this, and whether Nordic is willing to give those files away. (Note that Nordic might be reluctant to give the German versions to GOG if they plan to re-publish them by themselves in Germany.)
Side note: I have seen a
"German Patch" for SF2 on the official website of that game, but it's meant for English bundle versions of the game that were once bonus games sold with graphics cards. There's no way of knowing whether this patch would work with the GOG version, and I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you are prepared to re-install the game in case of failure.
