Issues fixed

German text

The Steam distribution is missing two files from the game's data folder: missiontext_en.sma and text_en.sma. This causes some important objectives (such as the task log in the strategic campaign) to show German text rather than English text.

Change language settings^[1]

Right-click the game in the Steam library, choose properties.
Open the language tab.
Change from English to Spanish.

Notes

This fix also activates the startup videos.

Once the language setting is changed and the files downloaded, you can rename them or back them up.
