There are a few people running around here. Not sure I can help much, since I'm fairly new here.

Back a couple of years ago when I picked up the game, it seemed it was only available in a box (not downloadable) from this site: http://www.decklinsdomain.com/products.shtml. Not sure if it can be shipped international, but is worth trying. You might be able to e-mail him also to see if there are other options.

Not sure I can help with the crashes. I've ran DW on both XP, Vista (briefly) and Win7 (full edition with megamod applied) and didn't have many problems I can remember. I do believe, like a lot of older games, that under Vista/Win7, you need to install it anywhere but in program files. I normally install into a Games folder.

Thx for the reply i did email decklin on ebay and ask him if he can ship to the UK but no reply atm.


I will try moving the demo out of the program files to another location.


Thx again :)

I don't know about a specific walkthru or cheat sheets, but http://www.icestorm9999.com is one of the players(dragonbait), and he has just about everything on his site about DW, including player mods.

Well my game arrived today :) But it keeps crashing just like the demo did when i fight any ideas why ?

All my drivers are up to date etc i am using windows 7 ultimate and i have tried all the compat admin stuff on the exe file but no matter what i do it keeps randomly crashing when i fight.

The game is install on my desktop because last time i had it installed in program files (which i thought fixed the problem )

Ps i am a bit of game geek with setting etc so if someone could maybe shred some lihgt i would be very grateful

thanks

Andy

well, for starters, did u install the latest patches, which are available on the icestorm9999 site?
There were a number of crash issues with combat fixed with the patches, especially the ogre pic.
If so, write on here, and we will see what we can come up.
I run it on Windows 7 with no issues-it was made b4 windows 7.

Hi Mackeruk,

Eventually after you kick in some doors ala Bard's Tale-like, the Rennibister Guards will confront you and be mighty upset at your burglarizing. Then you will start getting notes dropped to you from various sources with instructions on where to go and whom to find. I don't know exactly what point you are in the game but you want to take a stroll down to Hooters. or however they spell it in the game. You'll meet some people in the South-Eastern section of the town, and one in the West, and then Yoda. Too much Devil Whiskey you've had! No. Maybe I've said too much.

Not sure about kicking the doors in like bards i dont seem to find any fights when i enter the doors in town i just hear a funny voice in the distance and a message saying something like the guards look at you ? I have just been trying to lvl my guys atm got them to about lvl 15 i think So basically am just moving around the town map killing then lvling then going shopping and using the odd tavern and saving alot lol)

Ps enjoying the game so takes me back to Bards hehe

once u hit lvl 13, u can start crafting. There are recipes is the manual, as well as on the forums. They make things a lot more fun.
