Downloaded both rather than using the disks AGAIN, and nope, BO1 still in German, and BO2 still says it's stopped working as soon as you start it up. I'm running DirectX 10, should I be on 11? Even though when I try to install 11, or what I think it is (dunno why microsoft are trying so damn hard just to hide a link that says DOWNLOAD DIRECTX 11, it tells me I already have it :S
I have a feeling this is going to be another BF3 job, I've had that since release day last November and still never played it due to errors, ahh well at least it's helping me clear my steam backlog, downloaded Brink and was playing that last night, busy downloading Homefront, so gonna give that a go tonight.
