Irrelevant question: Since you're probably buying from Germany, could you check the transactions log and see if it is cut (the little (DE) behind the name of the game)?

EDIT: Ah... looks like they've only cut out the usual National Socialist Workers Party (bloody filter blocks the convenient term) symbolism. (http://www.schnittberichte.com/schni...ht.php?ID=4669) (only applies for the last game; the others also have reduced blood)

I cant believe that this "Error" isn't a joke...

Anyway, try changing your Windows region. And when you managed to get them running please check if those games are censored.

No i was gifted the games because i knew it would else be cut...

But i will try the region "fix" will report later

PS: All other Games are Uncut and Run fine

Edit: ok to fix this you dont have to set the Region to us or uk , but you have to set the time format to anything exept German... thats a joke!

Maybe you could check the games to see if they are really uncensored. Links to comparsions have been posted above.

I want to buy this deal, but only if I know for sure that the games are uncut. Can anybody from Germany who bought it tell me if these games are censored?

The games are uncut. No gravestones instead of dead bodies, e.g.

No need to switch to english, Deutsch(Österreich) also works. I did not try all options, but I guess any other country will do the trick.

Lösung:
1. geh in die Systemsteuerung,
2. starte die Regions & Sprach-Einstellungen
3. Unter Standards & Formate wechselst Du von Deutsch (Deutschland) auf Deutsch (Österreich)
4. Übernehmen. Das Spiel sollte dann spielbar sein ohne das etwas wichtiges verändert wurde.

Edit: could someone please make this thread sticky? It's really important.
