Kebabs Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Hi guys, I have purchased the russian version of the sim and what an excellent sim it is. I have one small problem, everytime i click on missions from the main menu (well the russian translation), it causes the game to freeze, it comes up as if its loading with 3anyck... but stays there indefinately. Has anyone any ideas on why this is happening? I think it maybe due to the fact that the Russian text is not displaying properly on my machine, e.g i have missions called Ñåâåðíåå Ãàãðû.miz and Àðêàäà Ïàòðóëü â óùåëüå.miz and so on, whilst this isnt english, it doesnt look like russian either... Maybe when the game is trying to load the available missions, the file names are causing problems?? I want to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling as many times as poss as I only get 3 activations! Any help will be greatly appriciated. Thanks James
Vitesse2l Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Can you load any of the in-game missions? A similar problem happened to me after I set up with Russian as the non-unicode option in the XP Regional and Language settings. I could not load any missions or load / save in the editor. Changing the option away from Russian followed by a shutdown / restart seemed to have fixed it. The stuck loading screen is what I got too. The language change may not have been the problem but could be be worth a try. Hope this helps.
Kebabs Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Hi, many thanks for your response! That seems to have fixed it! Quite strange really, as it was originally set to English, then when it didnt work i changed it to russian, then ive now changed it back to english and it works! Thanks again! James
Vitesse2l Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Glad you are sorted. I was trying to get Cyrillic characters in XP to help in translating mission briefings. It would have made the process a bit easier. Cheers!
