The Company of Heroes Community Website has instructions on how to play Company of Heroes Online in English, even though this online version of Relic's World War II real-time strategy game is being beta tested in China. Though setting the game up will require getting through a few screens full of Chinese characters, the process for getting it to display English is fairly simple and straightforward. They do warn that bugs may still be present, as the game is still in beta, and they also state that even though the game is generally "lag friendly" due to its network design, they cannot guarantee that North American or European players connecting to servers in Shanghai won't encounter any lag. They also warn anyone purchasing anything through the game's microtransaction system will have to call China if they need technical support.
