The game started in German, and I couldn’t change the language. Multiple sites told me how to change the language of the Epic Games Launcher instead. WTF??
Here’s the solution:
Find GameUserSettings.ini in localappdata%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and add these two lines:
[Internationalization]
Language=en-US
Now the game is in English.
CAREFUL: The game is overwriting this file. You need to do this every time you want to play the game or set the file to read-only. Which prevents you from changing some settings.
How can a game be written so poorly this is the solution
I’m willing to bet the fault lies with Epic and their shitty store app
Getting language from the store is still the game’s fault.
