birtuma 28 Posted July 9, 2011 Open arma2.exe with a hex editor, search for the string "Polish", change it to "English" or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birtuma 28 Posted July 10, 2011 Just change the string "Polish" to "English" in the arma2.exe or arma2oa.exe with a hexeditor and the game will be in english. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admrilvoro 10 Posted July 12, 2011 Just change the string "Polish" to "English" in the arma2.exe or arma2oa.exe with a hexeditor and the game will be in english. Ok i got hex edit but when I launch it with hex edit it says file is read only or already opened the file is closed and the file is blank at read only option. Am I missing something? Because i can not change a read only file ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birtuma 28 Posted July 12, 2011 Probably you don't have the permission to write. Start your hex editor as administrator or copy the exe file to your own directories, change it there, then replace the original file. Or maybe it's just a broken hex editor, get another one.

EDcase 87 Posted July 12, 2011 Won't altering the exe trigger FADE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birtuma 28 Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) No. I did it already because there is no german version on Steam. FADE is only triggered by illegal keys and stuff like that. Edited July 12, 2011 by doodlejump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birtuma 28 Posted July 12, 2011 You are doing something wrong, it's just a string, you can't break the file if you change it. :D What file is it, arma2.exe or arma2oa.exe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admrilvoro 10 Posted July 12, 2011 arma 2 exe well there a list of languages portugese english spanish german ect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birtuma 28 Posted July 12, 2011 I know. Here are some screenshots. I'm using Okteta, it is a hex editor for Linux, so probably you won't find it for Windows, but it should work with every other hex editor. Open the file arma2.exe... Click on find, select "UTF-8" (some hex editors don't need this), put "Polish" in the search field... Now you have the string... Change it to "English" and save the file...
