Is your computer's System Language configured with French selected? I suspect that PGI happens to be auto-detecting for what Language Pack to use at MWO's launch time. As such, you would have to use a French System Language in order for it to decide that it should use the "French.pak" file.

If you're needing to have English as your System Language setting, then you will not be able to use the "French.pak" file, as the MWO Client's design does not provide a Language Switcher from within the game itself. Sorry, but there is currently no workaround for this.

Don't give advice you don't know about.

to run the game on cryengine engine in any language you need to add a command to the running file MWOClient.exe
command +g_language=russian, you will get the following:

MWOClient.exe +g_language=russian 

MWOClient.exe +g_language=english 

MWOClient.exe +g_language=german 

MWOClient.exe +g_language=french 

MWOClient.exe* is the game itself, which we run every time we want to play Mechwarrior Online.

it doesn't violate the CoC


Alternative switching on:
simply create a file game.cfg in the Game folder of the Mechwarrior Online root dir, write a line in it specifying the language to run:
g_language=russian
Instead of russian substitute any other language, you can write english - the game will start and will search for the specified localization, if it is available.


The Code of Conduct says you can change the game.cfg file.
The file can be located in two places:
in the Mechwarrior Online\game\game.cfg folder.
and in your Windows MWO game profile folder on your C: drive - Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\game.cfg
