Team Fortress 2 is a great game. I play the beta regularly with some of my friends. The German version of Team Fortress 2 puts players at a serious disadvantage though. There is no blood in the game which means that German players do not know if they hit an enemy or not because the blood has simply been removed without adding some other means proof that the enemy was hit.
To fix this disadvantage German players can install a so called bloodpatch which works fine with the German version of Team Fortress 2. All you need to do is place a few files into one of the Team Fortress 2 directories to enable the patch. Unfortunately though the language of the game has to be changed to German as well if not already done so.
Download and unpack the file tf_german.rar from the first link given below and place all of its contents in your steamapps\account name\team fortress 2\ folder. This enables the blood in the game.
If you leave it that way you got German text, German menus and the blood. If you prefer to read and hear English text and voices you need to download the second file and place it into steamapps\account name\team fortress 2\tf\resource
This changes the voices and most menus back to English.

oh, fixed ;)
Works great, the only thing I noticed is you can’t break the demoman’s bottle. Works in the english hamburger version, though.
Okay, disregard that last comment. It breaks perfectly. The bottle just takes a freakin long time to break sometimes. Seems the demoman’s favorite brewery has a quite variable quality of bottles.
Can anyone post a working pure_server_whitelist.txt so that a sv_pure 1 server allows this to work correctly?

and i even not a german damn…
it doesnt work!
can someone give me a bloodpatch that works?
pls help me

It works,
even when steam and game is set to English!
Just put the folders like described above in your game folder.
Leave steam and game in English.
Then u just have to do a lil registry edit.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareValveSteamApps440 change value “language” from 0 to 1
game works in english text and sound and BLOOD/GORE.
Have fun
How do you registry edit? Sry if this is irritatin but im no computer whiz. U mind tellin me how 2 do that? (im playin Team fortress in English and have no blood even though i got da game in New Zealand)
Steve you press Windows R, type in Regedit and navigate to the key above
Thx will try it out
Steve.
I uploaded the working NEW bloodpatch to rapidshare.
It´s including the new files ( old files are not working anymore, best of all,now bodies have blood decals and no stupid bulletholes ) and the registry value.
Just put the new files in the discribed folder and klick on the .reg file.
If u unsure open the .regfile with ur notepad and check it first.

Approved no virus or malicious code, please people dl and scan to make an approval.
to floor:
No, the bottle breaks with this patch I´ve uploaded.
Patch is not made by me. So the credits to it goes to some guy that i don`t know.
The blood works now but voices r in German. All txt is in eng thou. Any way to change the voices back to eng?
p.s i have used the registry thing that came with the download
I 4got 2 put this in but the folder is called tf_german rite? So i i changed it to just tf would it work in english?
Hi,
u have to have on folder called “tf” and one folder “tf_german”. Steam should be set to English and under options of the game, right click the Team Fortress 2 shortcut in your steam client and click properties. There set the language of the game to English.
Close steam redo the registry thingy and start steam again.
Should work.
Here a screen shot.

Leave a post for further assistance!
Have a nice day
Ah one note:
I apologize for my crappy english.
Hi again,
did what u told me to but all voices are in German even thou the txt and menu’s are in english. I notices that i only had 1 of the 2 MDMP flies in my team fortress folder. i’d leave an image if i knew how to. At least there’s blood now even though i have no idea what the characters are saying. Is there a file 2 download just 4 english voices?
P.S does the registry thing have to be in any specific folder? and every time i use the registry thing the language gets automaticly changed 2 german
Hi I figured out the problem.
Steam/Valve made an update, materials where updated my version is now cut too and the game is in german.
I have to check out how I can re enable it.
besides: leave the MDP file… thast A minidump file for crash issues on my game.. so nothing to worry about it
Look what i found!
http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Blood_patch
but I really have no clue how to write this batch script.
Please any one tell us how to do it
Thanks
Alright I did this:
I put this -applaunch 440 +exec koh.cfg -heapsize 1048576 in my steam shortcut, now all sv_pure servers are uncut again. Blood patch is working fine
Yep confirmed, Patch is working again. on sv_pure 0 servers.
Hey hal thx 4 your help but the voices r still in german. The blood works fine but the voices r still in german. so i guess i’ll play in german if i want blood n in eng when i dun (frankly the heavy sounds kinda weird in german). (i have been playin on sv_pure 0 servers btw)
Ok sry mate!
Maybe reinstalling it will help.and then doing my steps again?
Have fun!
Sorry im kinda noob putting folders….hal can ya tell me step by step what i have to do plz?
hello
put the folder “tf_german” into your Team fortress 2 folder.
in here–> for example: C:Prgramms-Steam-Steamapps-yourusername-team fortress 2.
Should look then like this: http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=steameg0.jpg
thats it.
Execute the .reg file and everything should work.
put game and steam to english.
Download this Patch.

happy fraggin`
Remind: Steam has to be shut down completely before.
check your task manager ( ctrl+alt+del ) for steam.exe and close it.
I think the game is cut in many countries, maybe this uncut patch does not work all over the globe, thing depends on where u live.
Check for the lowviolence.gcf in your steamappsfolder.
I guess the game always changes to german because of the tf_german bloodpach folder.
