I create a english-patch for the Russian language version of the game. I needed some files from the English version (1.2.211!!!). Can't I change it in the options? If you live in a country where English isn't the official language, or have been cheated into buying a foreign copy, your game will be stuck in that country's language. I guess the devs forgot to include a 'change language' option for those of us who dislike the.

Notes
If you are an advanced user and are interested in setting up your own server, see the instructions HERE.
If you get a 0xc000007b and/or a d3dx0_40.dll. Use your Redist folder and run vc_redist.exe then go to your directx folder and scroll down until you see DXSETUP.exe and run it. If you don't have this folder, you need to download the DirectX updater from Microsoft.
If you have a black screen issue, try this BlackScreenFix.bat file and run it on your game folder. (You only need to run that once and should save on your game config until you delete the players folder.)
You can get custom maps HERE. (Depends on your internet you can download splits or the FULL one) Download & extract the zip and create a folder called usermaps on your IW4x game folder.
