    I just received my copy from a online seller but unfortunately the game is in Russian. All the menus and languages are also in Russian. When I googled I found this tweak.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2]
    "Locale"="en"
    "Language"="English"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2\1.0]
    "Language"=dword:00000001
    "LanguageName"="English"

    The menus are in English but :( I am getting a blank screen after some intro text about Japan and stuff. Any idea how to get rid of this problem?

    what does it say on the site where you bought it from. it should say what language it in.
    i would send it back and ask for an us/english version.

    Well, it was from a ebay seller and I think it will be a hassle to return and wait for another copy. Isnt there anyway to change the menus on English. I can bear the russian language but fonts.... :mad:

    Any suggestion?
