Can't seem to change the fez language.

I'm running it on a german windows machine, and it defaults to german.

I have tried changing to english in the game settings, but it flips back to german after exiting the setting each time.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for your idea - have tried changing language settings in regional settings in control panel (running xp) but:

- still starts in german

- english option in menu settings still doesn't stick, and reverts to german.

Any other ideas welcome - hopefully this will be patched, since the change language setting inside Fez seems broken, and switching system language just to play a game is not good practice for a 2012 release.

What about running it as admin? Perhaps it's a privileges issue as to why it won't stick to a desired language?
Have tried with user and admin account - no difference.

Going into compatibility options and changing it to "run as administrator" is different than trying under an admin account.

Thanks - but I am pretty sure this is only available in Vista and Win 7 - I'm running XP so it's not possible.
FIXED!

Problem - Fez in German, changing to english in game menu and hit apply results in going back to german, with endless loop.

Solution:
1. In-game menu change language setting from German to English, then hit "save" (esc) instead of "apply"(enter).
2. Menus still in German.
3. Exit game.
4. Restart game - still in german.
5. In-game menu change language setting from German to English, then hit "apply"(enter).
6. Magic english menus dammit.

thanks for everyone's help, and a special mention to luck which granted this unlikely solution.

That's bizarre, but at least it's working. Missed the (running xp) part.

Bizzare yes, but I guess for obvious reasons, there was limited bug testing of XP, and it was probably just the result of some obscure conflict.

thanks again, gog is awesome.
