3.4.1 Text is not readable after 4.0 Update

So I did the 4.0 install and now when I play the 3.4.1 version all the text is FUXored. I did some research from other threads and they said to copy the fonts to the C:/windows/fonts directory which I did and that did not fix the issue. I am running Win 10 and my video drivers are current. Playing the game in v3.4.1 is fine - just all the text is boxes. I attached a screenshot of the issue to this post. I'd love to be able to read the text as I am enjoying this game for the first time. Thanks!

What locale / language settings are you using on Windows?

I just posted the Screen shots of locale to the original post (apparently the pics/update require mod approval first so when they are approved you will see them). FYI - all windows updates have been applied and my Win 10 is current regarding patch/revision level.

Do you have any user or system-level environment variables set like: LC_ALL, LANG, or LOCALE?
If so, what are they set to?

That's the system locale setting. I meant this kind of environment variables:

About every year I re-install windows. I did that fairly recently (last 6 months) and all those variables are pretty much installation default. To answer your question specifically, no. None of those variables are present/set.

Just to re-iterate... This problem began when I installed the 4.0 patch/update. The 3.4.1 version was fine until I did that installation/update.

If you installed the two versions to different folders, there's no reason one should be impacting the other.
You could try editing the config file's "language=" entry to be "language=en" for 3.4.1.
The default path for Warzone 2100 3.4.1's config folder would be: C:\Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Warzone 2100 Project\Warzone 2100 3.4.0\
Did you install the "Full installer" package of each version, or the "Portable" package? Did you get both from wz2100.net? What is the full install path for each version?

This is what was in the config file:
language=zh_CN
That looks like something Chinese (CN being China)?
Its now:
language=en
I just opened the 3.4.0 game and its now fixed...
Ok - So apparently 4.0 changes the config in the 3.4.0 directory. Not sure how/why but I didnt change this...
