Hello! I hope someone can help me with this, since EA themselves cannot.
I had to format my pc and installed the EA app (instead of Origin). Installed all the Spore games (Spore, Spore Creepy & Cute, Spore Galactic Adventures). When launching through the EA app, GA doesn't work (it only launches Spore + C&C), even when I click directly on it to launch. Only way to play it is by launching the .exe/shortcut of the .exe for Spore GA.
This is where the language issue starts. Within the EA app, I changed the Spore (base game) advance launch properties to "-L en-us" so it launches in english. But since GA doesn't work through the EA app, it doesn't launch in english.
Tried changing the shortcut's destination path to: "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\SporebinEP1\SporeApp.exe" -L en-us , but doesn't work. Also, I saw this somewhere but I don't think it is possible to change the path for the .exe itself to add the "-L en-us" portion, as someone suggested, at least I can't edit mine. If anyone knows how to make it editable, please let me know.
Tried going to C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\Data\properties.txt AND C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\Data\properties.txt , and in both change the setting "locale=any" to "locale=en-us", but doesn't work.
Tried deleting all the locales under C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\Data\Locale except the folders for "en-gb" and "en-us", but it doesn't work (when setting everything to en-gb and leaving just en-gb all menus and text shows as "***"; when doing all for en-us and leaving both folders there's a mix of english and not english but for example the first title screen with "Spore" and "Galactic Adventures" under it, the last part isn't in english).
Checked several forums but can't seem to find any other option to fix this issue with language. Anyone has any idea how to help me putting the game fully in english?
Any help is much appreciated!
