Great. With Steam and Co it is usually easier.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there is a possibility. The game has to be started with a parameter for the language. The first challenge was to find out where exactly the game is stored. Like all Windows Store apps, Doom goes into the directory &#8220;c:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps&#8221;. Admin rights are required for access.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"418\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_2.png 418w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_2-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here you will find the folder with &#8220;DOOM.Enternal-PC&#8221; in its name.

This does not work in the same folder, but e.g. on the desktop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"158\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_3.png 461w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/doom_3-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once the link is created, we edit it.
