Order of the flame on Vista Premium,heeeelp please

Post by legswilly »

Hi, I would really like to play this game on my new box. Core2Duo, 8600 GTS VGA card, onboard sound. No luck up to date, installed from the original disk then installed 445 build patch. The game menu comes up, but when I click on New Game and then on Easy it shuts down with the message "Engine has stopped working". I opened properties and selected Win98/Me compatibility, but it still shuts down. I like this game and don't want to give up. Can somebody please help.
Thank you for replying.

Try running the game in developer mode by holding shift whilst starting Drakan and ticking 'enable developer mode' on the dev tab on the drakan engine options screen.
Run the level 'ruined village' after selecting a new game. Note that you cannot change diffculty without modifying the drakan.cfg file (Default is normal though)

Look in your system event log; sometimes useful information about the crash can be gained from it. It's often due to incompatible video hardware e.g Intel onboard video. What are your system specs and operating system?

I had same problem on visa 64 , you have to have a save game for you to play and it will continue to work just remember to save along the way then load your last save game and it will start for you. I havent played in 12 years and started it again and the save game was the answer just load a save game if you can find one. guest
