Language change on Game Pass

Congratz~, finally!
Btw did you untick the “read-only” and save it before you make changes for the language code in your previous attempts?

i think I did, but I tried so many times I’m not sure

Its ok
anyway, enjoy your game :rofl:

Thank you both for taking the time to run through this. Admittedly I had no idea it was so convoluted to change language in Game Pass - I’ll raise this with our developers.

Thanks, hope it gets easier soon for good of other users

Created an account to report that this method no longer works after latest update

Tried the following new directory:

“%APPDATA%\Fatshark\MicrosoftStore\Darktide”

instead of

“%APPDATA%\Roaming\Fatshark\DarktideExternal”

the new one works

Sorry, the directory was changed and I didn’t know - I’ll update our documentation to include the new path.

this does not work for me.


comments in the linked reddit post indicate, that it is required to change system regional settings for it to work. Its out of the question for me to change number or date format, as I require them as they are for work.
it is inconcievable for me that there is no other way to make the interface usable. @FatsharkJulia can we get a resolution here?

hello, are there plans to add Ukrainian localization to the game?

OK I’m pretty sure I got the final answer. Or at least I think so.

So I tried changing the language id as said in the tutorial but it just wasn’t working for me and it wasn’t changing back to “en” so I tried different option like “fr-fr” or “fra” (french in my case) and it didn’t changed much but after searching again “language” with Ctrl+F in the “user_setting.config” I found out that there are two “language_id” that needs to be changed. There is the first one on line 10 and the second one on line 36. And the “read-only” is necessary because the line 36 changes back to “en” if it isn’t on.

In short do all the steps as said in the tuto but change both “laguage_id” on line 10 and 36. Don’t forget to save and to mark as “read-only”. Then just start the game and it works. :grin:
