--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Fabian,
confirming.
--- quote --- Just noticed, "winetricks -q ie8" works around the issue. Maybe it's because the installation doesn't finish properly? --- quote ---
I don't know what's wrong with your system but on my machine the installer works just fine. The reason why 'winetricks -q ie8' works around is because the recipe changes the Windows version of the WINEPREFIX from default 'Windows 7' to 'Windows XP'.
To test, set 'Windows XP' and reinstall using 'setup.exe' from launcher directory. You will get English language setting by default.
One can also force/override locale regardless of Windows version using client command line interface:
--- snip --- $ pwd /home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Wargaming.net/GameCenter
# English $ wine ./wgc.exe --setLang -l en
# German $ wine ./wgc.exe --setLang -l de --- snip ---
Afterwards 'preferences.xml' has it permanently (no need for 'setLang')
--- snip --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <protocol version="3.9" name="preferences"> <application> ... <localization_manager> <current_localization>en</current_localization> </localization_manager> --- snip ---
