I haven't really blogged about my interest in gaming, but gaming is certainly related to music technology… And composition for that matter. Honestly, I have very little time to actually play, but when I do I can't stand it when something doesn't work right. That's why I just had to post this solution.
PROBLEM: STEAM updated the game and suddenly my Uplay, in-game menus and sub-titles were all in Dansk! Apparently that is Danish. My wife is 1/2 Danish, but that didn't help. The game was essentially impossible to figure out. VERY annoying.
PLATFORM: Core i7 iMac / STEAM
ATTEMPTED SOLUTION: Contact ubi.com customer service, who responded promptly (within 24 hours) with this: "After the update, the english file was not activated in the patch. It is being looked into and should be fixed soon. Thank you for your patience."
Your welcome, "Tish." However, when I logged back in a few minutes ago it was still in Dansk and I am impatient today. So, I then did this:
SOLUTION: Go to: AC2 properties/local files/VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE… A little window popped up, verified the files and reported back that 1 file was corrupt and would be replaced (presumably upon restart of the game).
Yep, I started the game (NOTE: Make sure all those annoying UPLay windows are logged out and closed. You might also have to restart STEAM) and the first thing I noticed was the Uplay launcher in English. Yeah! Next I launched the game my beloved native language was again displayed. I don't like problems, but I love solutions! Sorry Ubi, I beat you to it. I suggest that if you want your menus in Dansk, that you provide a complementary copy of Rosetta Stone. Great game though, in any language, I'm sure.
