Hello,
My computer is in french but I want to play BS1 in english. So I choose english in settings, launch the game, play... Then when I want to play again, I have to change the language again...
Is it normal?
Thanks

Hi there, we're sorry you ran into the language swapping issue. There's a thread here on the Steam Discussion forums where players discuss how to resolve it:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/237990/discussions/0/1621726179585962364/

Please note; the address of the Banner Saga Developer Cheat Sheet has changed (and is posted in the final post there). We apologize for the inconvenience and these additional steps needed to fix the issue.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!
Hello, the link in the steam thread is dead.
I need help with this issue too.
I found the solution by some more research:

The language Banner Saga starts the game in depends on the location you are at.

If you experience a reset of your chosen language you have to edit the file "tbs_config.ini".
You can find this file in the subfolder "win32".
After opening the file with an editor you have to find the line representing your language and
edit the language after the equals sign.
In my case the language was always set to German as I am from Germany. I edited the file so that the language when starting the game is English.

locale.en=en
locale.zh=zh
locale.cs=cs
locale.ru=ru
locale.ko=ko
locale.de=en <--
locale.es=es
locale.jp=jp
locale.ja=jp
locale.ja-jp=jp
locale.fr=fr
locale.it=it
locale.pl=pl
locale.pt=pt-br


If you start the Game in Russian but want the game to start with German language I would have to edit it like this: "locale.ru=de".
If you are from France and want it Russian you would have to edit it like this "locale.fr=ru".

I hope this helps.

We really appreciate you finding and posting the workaround for this. Thanks so much!
