    Map Editor in Swedish???

    I recently had problems with Far Cry 4 not starting which I later fixed by deleting the 856 file use regedit. But the main problem is the map editor. Sometimes it loads up, sometimes it doesnt and when it does, it loads it in SWEDISH. I dont speak swedish, have no idea what the hell anything means I'm trying to find the language interface to change this. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    file & set the Language entries to "english" ?

    also if your game came from steam check your language setting in steam

    open steam

    select your game right click on it

    select properties .. select language you prefer to use

    some files may need to be downloaded and installed once you re verify your game files at that point

    as your file install may be corrupt

    see this page on steam on how to verify your game files
    https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...2037-QEUH-3335

    if that's where you got your game from

    Trying out the patch_cnh Title Update, I had the same problem just now: the Editor wouldn't change the UI Language back to whatever language I set in Ubisoft Connect properties. Changing the EditorGamerProfile.xml didn't work for me.

    Turns out, changing language in the Ubisoft Connect does not set the Language properly in the Windows Registry.

    So, to fix the Far Cry 4 Editor language, clear Far Cry 4 from the Windows Registry by running the REGfile at https://steve.farcry.eu/files/FC4_Steam_StartupFix.zip.
    Running this regfile also fixes the the issue of the STEAM release of Far Cry not starting after you've run the Map Editor.

    Worked to open the Farcry 4 Game but did not change the map editor language for me, I also use the Steam version and have had this exact issue. Just wondered if you had another fix to throw my way. I'll keep trying to learn enough Swedish in the meantime!

    Hey Buterbizkit,

    Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you are also having issues with language.

    Just to clarify, is your game now opening in English, but just the map editor showing Swedish?

    Editor stuck in Swedish, both game and editor are conflicted.

    It would seem that both the FC4 editor and the game are conflicting. If both are ever attempted to open, neither will work. I understand the game is getting old now, but is this issue being actively addressed? We shouldn't have to rely on unofficial fixes from the community.

    And my editor is also stuck with Swedish. Tried editing the EditorGamerProfile.xml and changing "swedish" to "english" but it didn't work.

    THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

    Make sure you have the game in Uplay/Ubisoft Connect set to English.

    Run the regfile and delete the EditorGamerProfile.xml file. Validate/repair files. Then start the game. Should fix it.

    The editor conflicting with the game is a known issue, at least for the Steam release. You'll have to run the .reg file each time after you have run the editor.
