- After applying the patches to Black Mirror II and III, the games language will change. To set the language back to your desired language first start up and close the game again, then go into the "...documents/blackmirror" folder and open the config.xml with a simple text editor.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/286460/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (286460) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
