AFAIK, all the language-specific text is contained inside Dragon.rrc; the audio is stored elsewhere, so it's not affected by patching. with the latest Community Patch applied to a german (vanilla) version, the game becames uncut as well, Could you please elaborate? I tried replacing Dragon.rrc with ...

Eww ok... any way i can help you there? Not really, I just need to let it autogenerate a new Drakan.cfg with the vanilla default keybindings, then I can edit it into the installer template. Nice thing about the Riot Engine is that it simply ignores any keybindings that don't correspond to valid com...

Thanks, I'll look into it. For now, I did a quick check: The German version of Drakan.rrc appears to work fine with the Drakan.exe from the AiO patch - which is great, since otherwise it'd be a total disaster. However, the existing keybindings don't work, since it now expects the German command name...

Hi :D Yes, it's because the English version of patch 445 is used. The text strings are stored in Dragon.rrc, which gets overwritten by the version from the English 445 patch. I can add support for the German language to the Community Patch - but in order to do that, I'd need your help, since I don't...

After many hours, I finally tracked down the problem! All that CPUID stuff was just a red herring after all, just like you said. The real problem was that there's some sort of race condition caused by setting the priority of Drakan.exe to anything above Normal on Intel CPUs! Well, on Intel Atoms at...

OK, so I tried modifying Drakan.exe to make the CPUID queries never branch at the "Authentic AMD" check, thus fooling it into thinking that Intel = AMD. This only required changing a single byte; making it compare a string with itself, so it'll always succeed. Unexpectedly, that resulted i...

That's an interesting observation. It could be just occurring on certain models/models from certain generations. Can you try setting DisablePerformanceCounter=1 in Arokh.ini and tell us if it makes any difference? Thanks, I'll try that. (EDIT: Tried that. Makes no difference whatsoever.) We did som...

Well, as far as OpenDrakan is concerned, I don't see a problem - since it can be distributed as a game mod, and require the original Drakan.exe to run. In any case, because of it's nature, OpenDrakan already requires all the other Drakan files to function; adding an extra dependency on Drakan.exe wo...

Neither does the Community Patch uninstaller, for that matter.
Nor does it even write anything to the user's Documents folder.

The reason I set Client_GamePort in my config to 0 is because the default behavior is just silly. 0 will make the system automatically pick free port that's available to use and it's how well coded client applications behave. Cases where picking particular client-side port is necessary are rare and...

Current version: build 153.01 Last updated: 16/09/2018 :!: Download link :!: Download link for the EXPERIMENTAL build 153.01a with French language support! (it is fully multiplayer-compatible with build 153.01!) Features: Self-installing: no more manual manipulation of the game files :D Installs th...

Ok, so here's a collection of some of my ideas for a not-Drakan game. Let me know what do you think. I'm basing this on broadly keeping the overall premise of the game similar to (or at least inspired by) Drakan - while making the story different enough to avoid any possible IP infringement issues, ...

1. I doubt anyone will actually bother trying to debug that mess. It probably won't help, but since some tasks are oflloaded to a second thread when you play multiplayer, maybe try and see if setting both client and server's affinity to a single CPU does anything. Thanks, I'll try that when I have ...

Cool, thanks for the fixes :) Regarding the maps: OK, sure. I'll include them in the Community Patch (build 135.01rc at this time), and now that will be the prerequisite for connecting to multiplayer. BTW, some more bug reports: 1. Jage's new map (Lava Land) started to show the symptoms of the dread...

Guys, replace DQTest level you have on your machines with this one . The version in Gold Pack was older... Which brings me to some more feature requests for future releases: If (when) you replace a level with a fixed version having the same name , please also include it in the standalone AiO patch....
