That may be an outdated translation mod batch file from a previous version. FAIK you must run LangSwithEnabler.bat. Maximus, Pieter?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->RunMe.bat is the Build 12 delocalization program. By running it, all files are moved from their language (ENGLISH) subfolders into the folder above it. Basically, that makes the game's folder structure the same as the American version. So European + Build 12 or American + Build 12 doesn't matter too much. However LangSwithEnabler.bat (Tuesday 24 January) was made to localize the loading screens again for the translation mod. Maximus had written a file for that, but it was a very complicated file which seemed to be moving more files around than nescessary and would not work on American versions. So I made a simpler version that would localize just the loading screens and would hopefully work for European, American and Russian versions. However, I fear that, because of all updates and translation stuff, the versions of everybody have been modified so much that nobody is using exactly the same codebase. I am going to start a thread on making a proper Pre Build 13 after I'm done with this post. Then we can try to make one base version that works for everyone.

Overwrite all files. After that, open up your most recent post_b12.zip file and extract all loading screens on top of your current installation. It all doesn't really matter. There are only two files of which two versions exist: Isla_Muelle_Animists_CAve.tga.tx (the original version was different) and Crew.tga.tx (a Russian and an English version). If you don't do it correctly, the worst that can happen is that you'll have an occasional Russian loading screen or an older version. It won't really hurt.

As for the Building Permit: You should leave those things be. If you loot a building (which you are not supposed to do in the first place), DON'T take the building permit from the character.
