i would love for game launchers (steam/epic/gog/etc) to start including a language option upon install, where you can choose which languages you want to download. it would save a lot of storage space and decrease download time.

@beardalaxy Steam already has this. I had to go into the properties to play Skyrim in Russian. It's just up to devs to implement it that way I think

@applejack so do you download the game normally and then go into properties, change language to russian, then it downloads the russian pack?

if that's how it works that's a step closer. i was more referring to selecting what language you wanted to download in the beginning though, so you wouldn't have to download english if you didn't want to, for instance. would be great for games like uncharted, where someone uploaded a "mod" that just replaces 27GB of language files with blank ones to decrease the size of the 100GB game lol. would be nice if you just didn't have to download those extra languages in the first place. i can imagine that's part of why Warzone was so fucking massive.

@beardalaxy Ye, I set it to Russian and it redownloads. I could set it to Russian first so it doesn't download twice
