Fix: Verify your game integrity via Steam (Right-click > Properties > Local Files > Verify). This will re-download the Russian files, but you can repeat the pack install.

Fix: Go to Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Black Ops II/zone/english and ensure localized_common.ff exists. If not, extract it from the Depot download. Final Verdict: Is It Worth It?
