Issues fixed

Subtitles and closed captions not working

If language that Steam client is set into is not supported by the game, no subtitles or closed captions will show at all.
Change Steam language into supported one[1]
  • Change Steam clients language into one of the ones supported by the game, e.g. English.
Copy subtitle file and rename it to match your Steam clients selected language[2]
  1. Navigate to <path-to-game>\game\hlvr\resource\subtitles\
  2. Copy desired language for subtitles e.g. closecaption_english.dat, copy it into same folder and rename it into your Steam client language, e.g. closecaption_finnish.dat if your Steam client language is in Finnish.
  3. Navigate to <path-to-game>\game\hlvr\webui\localization\
  4. Repeat the process, copy e.g. hlvr_english.json and rename copy to e.g. hlvr_finnish.json

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 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).
  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>/546560/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (546560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
