1. The Pirated Repack: Many scene releases (like RG Mechanics, xatab, or R.G. Catalyst) stripped out English language files to save disk space, leaving only the group's native language.
2. The European Physical Disc: If you bought a second-hand disc from Germany or France, the disc might enforce German/French based on the region lock, or the installer only includes European languages.
3. Corrupted Installation: Sometimes, a legitimate Origin/Steam installation fails to download the English loc files, resulting in missing text or placeholder characters.
