Hi guys, here's my problem :

I just bought HWR yesterday. I installed it with GOG Galaxy. When I tried to play through Galaxy, the game won't launch at all. The only way for the game to launch was to play through Launcher.exe in the HWLauncher folder. The problem is, even though I set the language to French in the Language Setup executable, the game would launch itself be in English. Do anyone of you guys have a solution for me to change the language ?

Thank you in advance.

I guess you're using a Windows account without admin rights for playing your games?! Because the "HWRStart.exe" which launches the collection with the correct language settings needs admin rights. Read here for more information and a workaround:

Actually, you can run the game in French even if you force of through Launcher.exe by typing -locale French in the shortcut's path. And I know this thanks to your post in the conversion you linked me. Thank you so much Hustlefan, my mind is now at ease.

You're welcome and thanks for sharing your solution. I never tried using the language command directly with the "Launcher.exe". Good to know. :)
