Problem 1: Text is English, but Audio is still Russian/Polish

Solution: The speech files are separate. Ensure you copied the Audio\Speech\ENGLISH folder into your directory. Delete the RUSSIAN or POLISH speech folders entirely (after backup). The game defaults to the only speech folder available.

Problem 2: The game crashes on startup after installing the pack

Solution: This indicates a hash mismatch. Some cracked versions use modified .exe files that expect specific language hashes.

Fix A: Update your game to v1.0.5.0 (the final patch).
Fix B: Use a No-DVD/Fixed EXE that is "language neutral" or specifically patched for English.
