General information

Essential improvements
Administrator elevation required to update saved games
With Windows Vista to 10, the game may fail to autosave, overwrite past saved games, and fail to save related world events, if it is not Run as Administrator. This can cause dialogues, items and cut-scenes to disappear or be buggy when you load a past saved game. The notes below mention this briefly, but it is essential to know before playing.
Run as Administrator is not required, nor is any compatibility setting, as long as the Windows Search service is running, you have read and write access for the Redemption SaveGames directory and the Redemption SaveGames directory has "Allow files in this folder to have content indexed..." enabled.
Age Of Redemption Mod
The vanilla game suffers from serious bugs, which can prevent you from progressing. This mod fixes those issues, but also rebalances the game and adds additional features. It can be downloaded here.
Neural Redemption HD Textures
Original game textures upscaled with neural networks. All game textures are upscaled. Download on Nexus or ModDB
Skip intro videos
Delete/rename logo.bik[citation needed] |

Alternately just hit ESC twice to skip the two videos to get to the main menu (the fix here was added when they were unskippable). |
Game Manual
The game files include a game manual named manual.pdf. It is highly recommended to check the key and mouse commands described in this manual before playing, as there isn't a tutorial in-game.
It can be freely obtained from the Steam store.
