Game freezes after assigning keybinds
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2015 11:21 pm
Hey there,
I've been struggling to install Drakan but I've managed to make lots of progress.
The game runs smoothly after I've followed these steps (found on this forum):
"""""""""""""""""""
Anyway, since you can't seem to install it using installer anyway, you'll have to manually extract the game from CD. To do that, you'll need to download UniExtract from here. There are two verisons, the one with installer and the portable one, I went with the installer option. When you have that installed, open Drakan CD with Explorer and then open the folder Setup. Inside, you should see file named data1.cab (or just data1, depends on your settings). Right click on the file and select UniExtract Files... In the window that opens, change the destination directory to wherever you want the game to be installed eg. C:\Games\Drakan but avoid installing to any Program Files directory, otherwise you'll have to set the game to run as admin for the savegames to work properly. Click OK and voila, you have the base game installed.
But you're not done yet, you still need to install some patches for the game to work better. First, get official 445 patch from here and unzip the file to some temporary folder. In that folder, you'll see file data1.cab, which you have to extract the same way as you did with the data1.cab on Drakan CD. Finally, download AiO patch from here and extract files Drakan.exe and Dragon.rfl to your game folder.
"""""""""""""""""""""
One problem remains. Whenever I try to assign a key (all commands are currently not assigned), for example: attack -> mouse button 1.
the game instantly freezes without me being able to do anything.
Is there a way to fix this or assign the keybinds in another way?
Cheers!
