Disco Elysium News

It's been just over a month since we revealed The Great Internationale and since then you have placed well over 200,000 votes on our website. We now have our hands full as we work with fan communities and localisation companies to try to bring you Disco Elysium's 1,000,000 words in new languages.

The current translations are going strong thanks to the hard work being put in by each team. We'll have more to share about them all soon as they get closer to being finished. Meanwhile be sure to keep an eye on the website tracker for all of the progress updates.

[h2]Russian team update[/h2]
The Russian translation of Disco Elysium is now being managed by Testronic (who are also doing the German and French translations).

The community team provided a strong start for the translation that will be continued with a bigger team. This means we can ensure maximum quality, efficiency, and respect for the Russian language -- which is especially great as Disco Elysium owes so much to Soviet culture and history.

Additionally, we are very thankful for the superb work the fan team have done, they won't go unrecognised or unpaid for it. A couple of the team's members will continue working on the translation with Testronic from within the community.

[h2]What's next?[/h2]
All your votes and messages as part of The Great Internationale over email and social media have pointed us in the many directions we're moving in now. Once we are sure that we have everything in place we will make announcements about translations for each new language separately. We will do our utmost to ensure quality and deliver it.

A super massive thanks to everyone for showing their love and for voting over the past few weeks, as well as those who bought Disco Elysium and put it on their wishlists. It helps us and the game out immensely. More soon!

[h3]¿Estás listo? Prenez un verre mes amis. Начинаем... We're going international! (Are you ready?) (Grab a glass my friends.) (We're starting...)[/h3]
Disco Elysium is being translated and localized into new languages, hot and fresh off the tongue. Even better is that it's being done by you – our wonderful community.

We're working with hand-picked teams of dedicated fans to ensure they have everything they need to get you the game and its million words in your language. It's properly happening. In full and with flair. Nothing can stop The Great Internationale.

The languages currently in progress are:

• Spanish
  
• Korean
  
• Russian
  
• Portuguese-Brazilian
  

And that's not all… We've teamed up with Testronic Labs, a translating powerhouse with internationale prestige, to add two more languages to that list:

• French
  
• German
  

You want more? So do we. That's why we've opened up a new website that lets you vote on which languages we should translate the game into next. The community decides! You can also track the progress of the translations that are already in the works on that site.

We can't thank you all enough for the love and support you've shown so far. Nothing keeps us going more than your kind words and seeing your incredible fan art and fiction. We hope to keep up such beautiful exchanges long, long into the future.

Starting with our...


We've been working hard on optimizing Disco Elysium so that it runs on as many hardworking machines as possible. No matter how old or low-tech they may be!

If you found that your computer struggled to run Disco Elysium before then this update will hopefully remedy that. Many more people can play for the first time, or have a much better and smoother experience than before. This one's for all our bratan keeping it real by booting up games on their ancient potato machines.

With this latest update, Disco Elysium's minimum specs have been dropped down to Mariana Trench levels. That goes for both the Windows PC and Mac versions.

[h3]New PC minimum:[/h3]
Windows 7 and DirectX 11 compatible video card (integrated or dedicated with min 512MB memory). 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo, 20GB hard disk space.

[h3]New Mac minimum:[/h3]

• MacBook Pro: from mid 2009
  
• MacBook Air: from mid 2012
  
• iMac: from late 2009
  
• Mac Pro: from late 2008
  
• Mac mini: from 2009
  

* An OpenGL capable system
* The higher fan speeds are normal effect, fans run faster when 20% or more of CPU capacity is used.
* These are the oldest tested machines, we cannot guarantee all different specs run but we tried to push specs as low as possible without sacrificing gaming experience.

We're determined to take it further too. We're going to try to keep optimizing so low that we break through the crust on the other side of the planet. Show us your scrapheap calculators and rusty adding machines and we'll give it a go. Disco Elysium for all!
