Steam users must switch to a supported language (DE/FR) and allow the 500MB+ download. | | Game crashes on launch after change | Registry typo (e.g., "ENG" instead of "EN") or missing font files. | Change back to EN immediately. Reinstall the game via Steam in your target language. | | No "Language" tab in Steam | You own the original "Hitman Collection" from 2007. | Use Registry Method (Method B).
