Spanish (Latin America)

The game also includes a Latin American Spanish localization, although this is not exposed as an option.

Steam version: Enable Spanish (Latin America)^[1]
Exit Steam and ensure it is not running in the background. Go to <Steam-folder>\steamapps. Open `appmanifest_256290.acf`. Change the language to `latamspanish`: "UserConfig" { "language" "latamspanish" } Save and close the file. Start Steam and launch the game. It will now run in the Latin American Spanish localization.

Issues fixed

"Your CPU is Outdated" error

The game checks for some SSE4 instructions and if it fails, it shows an error message and refuses to run. The game doesn't use those instructions beyond that test, so bypassing is quite safe.

Bypass CPU check^{[citation needed]}
Use Child of Light no-SSE4 Loader.
