Siberia is a masterpiece of the gaming industry, which has a number of unpleasant bugs in its Russian-language version.

This patch was created in honor of the 10th anniversary of the game Siberia for the Russian localization of the game from the 1C company! The patch eliminates all errors made when translating the game into Russian.

Launchers: SteamGOG

List of fixes:

Fixed a bug with the synchronization of Russian speech of game characters with their facial expressions. All characters now OPEN their MOUTHS in dialogue (see note 1);

Fixed "missing" of some phrases (see note 2);

Added missing phone voice distortion effect in some phrases (see note 3);

Changed the font of notes in Kate's notebook (see note 4);

Replaced the game's introductory video ("Kate's Arrival") with the original video from the French version. The French video sequence is accompanied by Russian subtitles (see note 6);

Fixed some inaccuracies in the text part of the game. Spoiler

Note on corrections:

In the Russian version of the game from 1C, characters did NOT open their mouths in dialogues. Now they are OPENING.

Many may note that the volume level of characters' speech after installing this patch has become an order of magnitude lower. In fact, the volume level has become what it should be, and the basis for this is the volume level of phrases in the French and English versions of the game's voice acting.

The stationmaster's phrase and Kate's phrase in Barrockstadt were noted to be missing.

The effect of voice distortion by telephone was missing in several phrases of Professor Pons in Barrokstadt and in the phrase of the bartender in Aralabad. Additionally, one portion of Professor Pons' lecture had a very low volume level. Level increased.

The font of the entries in Kate’s notebook in the Russian version from 1C was, roughly speaking, “printed”. Now it is close to the original.

In the version from 1C, the introductory video was compressed due to the replacement of the video sequence, which led to a deterioration in the video quality in this video. In addition, for dubious reasons, the video sequence was translated incorrectly - “French Alps” (“Alpes francaises”) became “Swiss”. The video has been replaced, and any in-game reference to the "Swiss" Alps has been "eradicated".

Installation:

ATTENTION: The patch is installed on the licensed Russian version of the game from 1C ("Siberia", "Siberia. Golden Edition"), as well as on any unofficial edition of the game that includes content with Russian localization from 1C.
