Im sorry. but i don't know what to search or how to use command lines. Like you do.
I just understood that it has to do something with UTF-8 decoding and baltic locale if Im correct.

Im from Europe, Slovenia to be exact. Can my system locale be the problem.
Im using Win10 64bit (Core i5, 8gb ram, 1060Gtx)

Bye and thanks

search for the following file:
Install.log

Right click then open with:
Notepad

Then copy paste the following:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

Put that thing under the original text or above it but don't put it on it by replacing.

Exit and they will ask you to save it, click yes. Now try to play and tell us what happens.

I tried what you said. But it didn't work.

Shouldn't this code be in diffrent place, because install.log is created freshly everytime installation fails?

Bye

Could you post a screenshot of what you have inside of your openra folders. I'm not that familiar with this problem but I will try to figure it out.

You can insert one of the original game disks, mount an iso image, or install the original game through Origin, and then use "Detect Disc or Installation" in the Advanced Install.

@tineostir Please check install.log in Documents\OpenRA folder.
Did you change your System locale to e.g. English?
