Issues fixed
Game crashes when trying to play videos
Crash when trying to save
Make the game Large Adress Aware[3]
|
Download laa_2_0_4.zip, unpack it and apply it to drakensang.exe. This prevents crashes when playing with high graphics settings.
|
Make antivirus ignore the game folder[3]
|
Some commercial antivirus programs (e.g. Avast) can be very invasive and cause problems with certain games. Make it ignore the game install folder (where the drakensang.exe is) and the save folder (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Drakensang ).
|
Sidequest mini-game crashes with Factory::Create('Actions::SetNextMove'): unknown class name error
- This error only occurs with German digital versions of the game, it does not occur with international versions or the German disc version.
