Deponia (Adventure Shop, Steam, GamersGate) - language issues and getting it to run
YAY, finally we can download Deponia I guess it’s also in English? in the Adventure Shop it only mentions German anyway I’m downloading it 
Buy it on Steam. The Adverture Shop version is German only.
Really?? I would have thought it was the English version as well after the review and everything, oh well, I want my money back
Me too. However, I’m not quite sure how to make that happen, so if you manage to get your money back, let me know.

OK, I sure will although I won’t be holding my breath but still they may have the english version as well
Am I missing something? I got my (English) copy from Amazon (UK), Play.com is selling it as well, and there are several copies available on Ebay.
It looks like the listing for Deponia on The Adventure Shop has finally changed the language from german to english. However for this particular game, I would really recommend the retail version. It includes a CD with the soundtrack and a very funny manual.

Really? Where? It still shows “German” on my browser and the game I bought from them installed German and I didn’t find a language option anywhere in the German Settings. I bought my copy as a pre-order from the Adventure Shop a month ago, was originally told by email that it would be available for download on the July 31, then they put it on sale, and when it did release on August 6, I got the German version.
Ask me if I’ll be a return customer.
For now I’d buy Deponia on Steam if I were to buy it online, as it’s on sale there - 20 % off the price, so it’s just €15.99 instead of €19.99.
The sale lasts until august 14th: http://store.steampowered.com/app/214340/

Yep, I did that too (I really wanted to play this game!) and now it won’t launch, which is really odd because the German version ran fine. I’ve verified the file in Steam and it keeps telling me that one file won’t verify and it will reacquire, but it still doesn’t launch.
Dying of frustration - maybe it just wasn’t meant to be?
Deponia on Steam? What? Didn’t notice it
Chains of Satinav also and Book of Unwritten Tales.
Finally some new adventures on steam!

Contact Steam support, perhaps try and look in the Steam forums if anyone else is having the same problems.

I you had a version of Deponia installed other than the Steam one, you’ll have to delete the config files and the savegames folder of the game. Those versions and savegames are not compatible.
Ouch. With Steam I could have spent half of what I paid for the retail version. 
Oh well, I still love all the extra goodies that come with the Lace Mamba packages.
I see GamersGate have got Deponia for just under $16, I think I will try again
