If the Install is like the English Demo the first window was in German but everything that came next was in English including the game.

That's interesting Greyfuss. I haven't installed the game yet because I was afraid it was in German. Also...I can't even read what buttons I am supposed to click on in the Install Wizard shield because that is in German also.
I'm not sure what to do now.

ok...thanks

Thanks, Carla

I played the Demo a couple of days ago and I enjoyed it very much despite understanding almost nothing (language-wise).

I have steam but I like boxed games, what I am going to do?

For those of you who want an English version on disc I found it here.

Game.com

It releases on October 12, the are taking pre-orders. Rather pricy £24.99 or $40.57 US They offer free shipping to England and will ship to US for £4.99 or $8.10

EDIT not game.com but Game.co.uk

I thought game.co.uk had gone into administration and was bankrupted? In Australia all pre-order money was lost when they went into administration. You should be very careful before pre-ordering from Game. Anyone knows more about this?

So, is it in English anywhere?

Downloaded again the Demo. This time in English, and it is in English, apart from the very first screen, I have to assume that the game from Steam is in English too.

Yes the game from Steam is entirely in English...how do I know? I am playing it from Steam now.

Ok, so did anyone who bought the game from Gamersgate actually install the game and try to play it yet? Some have suggested that it might just be German on the first screen but then the rest is in English.

I installed the game and it's in German. Sent a e-mail to them and asked for a refund. i should have got it from steam.

I guess we just have to wait and hope that they will refund the money or give us the game in English.

Nah, game.co.uk is not into administration as far as i know. Another 2 uk retailers you can try is play.com and amazon.co.uk. All three release in October:

Secret Files 3 - game.co.uk

Secret Files 3 - Play.com

Secret Files 3 - Amazon.co.uk

Be aware that all UK retailers don't ship overseas

Game went into administration a few months ago but were saved by another company a week later. They certainly closed many stores, including my one in Hounslow. It looks safe to pre-order from them at the moment, I think:

We have established before that although Amazon ships overseas, it is not the case for games if you read their faq. Although I think games will ship in most countries in Europe from any Amazon in Europe:

Delivery Restrictions from Amazon.co.uk (which are the same for France and Germany):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=524836

SF3 is also available for download from Gamesplanet.com
(the company behind The Adventure Shop)

It says Language: English on their website

I have found THIS , it has information about Potbelly Hill. IMO it is worth reading if playing the game. I played just the Demo, I think I'll buy the game from Steam.

Thanks, mcc. Very interesting.

This is what I found on Gamersgate web site

Secret Files 3 is installed in German instead of English

Dear users

We are already working on this and we will check this up as soon as possible with the developers. Once there is an update/fix for to the game, most probably the game has to be fully redownloaded and the old files need to be deleted (unless we receive other instructions that will be posted on your account near the game).

We are extreemely sorry for the inconvenience and hope on your understading of the situation

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear in my announcement post at the beginning, for the ones of you who want a boxed copy of the game, it will be released October, 12th

Yes !! I've had my boxed copy on pre-order for some time

[Hoping it will be in English, of course ]

Carla, do you have any news as to what type of copy protection the disk version will use? Will it have limited activations?

The three i posted do ship overseas, at least they do to my location.


Play.com

Amazon.co.uk

game.co.uk

Venus, unfortunately at the moment I haven't got any detail about the hard copy

Butcher, Amazon UK and Play.com deliver only in Europe, the only one shipping to USA is Game.co.uk

This is now posted on the Support page of Gamersgate!!
