Please uninstall and install the game in an allowed language or log in with a different account and restart your game session".

Changing the language
- There is no option to change the language once the game is installed
- Move the game folder
- Install the game using a different language
- After Origin starts downloading move the game folder back and restart Origin
- Origin will only download the missing language pack
- You can then change between languages using Registry Editor
- Open Regedit
- Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA Games\BFH
- Change Locale value to your preferred language (for example cs_CZ for Czech, en_US for English - check in the game folder at GDFBinary_en_US_64.dll file)
