Does any one else find that post this patch unit descriptions in LTR are now in Italian?

[keithmartinsmith]

What language is your keyboard set to? If English any chance of a screen shot of the issue to keith@hexwar.com.

Thanks
Keith

[Geordietaf]

Keyboard is set to English. Pardon my ignorance but how do I do a screenshot? In any event, game showing this is currently in progress with frankpowerful (800 pt Tencteri v Dominate Romans)

[TheGrayMouser]

Keith, I had the same issue under 1.56 when an opponent , who I am guessing has the Italian version, accepted my MP challenge. The dag army names, BG's names etc were all in Italian. I posted this some time ago in the tech area.

i would propose to use Latin and Urgermanisch instead

[keithmartinsmith]

Hi, Will check but the files that are exchanged do not have any language references ... maybe we overlooked something.

Thanks
Keith

[keithmartinsmith]

If a challenge is started in Italian or German some of the unit name data on the receiving PC, even if english is appearing in Italian or German.
This has been identified as an issue and will be addressed but not in time for the 1.6.1 patch.
