Language Fix On June 2, 2020 developers introduces a new antipiracy check for running game executable, if it has access to the Internet. The game now always forces to Ukrainian, no matter what language you had before. There is a fix for that: Open steam_emu.ini in game root with any text editor and add BlockConnection=1 on a new line after Offline=0, then save the file Open C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\412020\remote\user.cfg in any text editor and edit lang_sound and lang_text params (lang_sound us & lang_text us - for English, in example) Repeat the same operation with "C:\Users\\Saved Games\metro exodus\76561197960267366\user.cfg" Play in your desired language. Alternatively you can BLOCK MetroExodus.exe in your Firewall (check this link for how to do it) and then switch the language either by running included BAT-files or with manual editing of "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\412020\remote\user.cfg". If you don't know how to configure your Firewall - you may simply unplug your Internet connection for the game session.
