If the game text is in English but the voices remain Russian (or vice-versa), you can "trick" the game by renaming the audio files in the installation directory.
For versions where the language is hard-coded into the system registry, you may need to manually update the language ID. Press Win + R , type regedit , and hit Enter. Navigate to the following path (depending on your OS):
The most straightforward method for Steam users is to use the platform's native settings. This triggers an official download of the English localization files. Open your . Right-click on Just Cause 2 and select Properties . Navigate to the Language tab. Select English from the dropdown menu.
Find the English versions (ending in _eng.fsb ) and rename them to use the _rus suffix. Example: Rename Dialog_PA_eng.fsb to Dialog_PA_rus.fsb .
The game will now pull the English audio data while thinking it’s loading the Russian files. 3. Registry Editor Method (Advanced)
If you purchased the game through GOG , there is often a dedicated tool for this. Go to the game's installation folder. Look for an executable named Language_setup.exe . Run it and select from the menu. Troubleshooting Tip: Check Your Region
Some versions of Just Cause 2 sold in certain CIS territories are "region-locked" and may only include Russian and Chinese files. If English is missing from the Steam dropdown menu, you might be using one of these versions. In this case, you may need to manually source an "English Language Pack" or "English Fix" from community forums to add the missing .fsb and .tab files to your game directory.
Locate files ending in _rus.fsb (e.g., Dialog_Mission Specific_rus.fsb ).
