Issues fixed

Game changes microphone gain at launch

Modify microphone gain ingame[3]
  1. Start the game
  2. Go to the voice settings
  3. Set RECORD LEVEL to your preferred microphone gain

Game won't start and won't even show splash screen

Move the installation folder back into the Steam library folder[4]

The game won't start, won't even show splash screen if it is being run from an NTFS linked folder. Either keep the game in current Steam library folder or create another Steam library on a different drive and move the game there via Steam's own moving option.

All Keybindings are empty on French version of the campaign

Edit the cfg file[5]

The campaign on the French version is broken : all keybindings are empty. You need to go to the installation folder of the game (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty WWII\players2), and edit the file "keys.cfg" with the following content :

 // generated by Sledgehammer Games - do not modify

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/476600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (476600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
