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]
  1. Exit Steam and ensure it is not running in the background.
  2. Go to <Steam-folder>\steamapps.
  3. Open appmanifest_256290.acf.
  4. Change the language to latamspanish:
  5. 	"UserConfig"
    	{
    		"language"		"latamspanish"
    	}
    
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. 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"Your CPU is Outdated" error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.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/256290/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (256290) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. 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).
