I installed a mod that caused this, I uninstalled it and reverted back to normal and still had this. So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled from steam and the issue still present…
Anyone know why?
Verify file integrity in steam. You probably deleted the localization files.
I tried that but will try again.
Try renaming:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Saved Games\kingdomcome
Rename that to what? I don’t have the kingdom come directory in that location.
What’s your OS?
Win 10 Pro
After the first start of KCD it will create a Folder there…
This Folder is empty for you ??? C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Saved Games\
i validated my installation and it said it was successful, I also checked the Localization folder and everything appears to be there.
English.pak and English.xml.pak file
C:\Users\Default\SavedGames… No kingdom come folder.
I tried my user name instead of default in the directory but there was no savedgames folder there.
I have all hidden files and extensions showed in my personalization options.
Press WIN+R
Copy / paste
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Saved Games\
Hit Enter or OK
Okay now that worked, you want me to rename the directory?
yes kingdomcome to kingdomcomeXXX whatever

Okay did that, launching the game now.
Okay so now the game does not launch, steam just says preparing to launch game and does nothing.
OK…than reboot your pc…

So I’m just going to compile the instructions here so they will be easier to use.
1st Go to The directory where your saves should be
C:\Users%USERNAME%\Saved Games\
Once there rename the Kingdomcome folder to kingdomcomeXXX whatever you want to name it
After that try to launch the game. It should not launch but it will create a new folder labeled kingdomcome
In the new folder will be another folder labeled saves. Copy the contents of the save folder From kingdomcomeXXX to the new folder.
Move the kingdomcomeXXX to another location in your computer incase you need the saves again
Close and restart steam this time the game should launch and the text should be back on the screen.
