Re: Drakan installation Help please
This is a well known issue caused by the game not being fully compatible with newer operating systems - you need to start the game in developer mode by holding shift whilst starting the game. There's lots of info on this site & forum about this issue but here it is again - when the riot engine options box appears click on the developer tab then tick enable developer mode.
Start the game and select 'ruined village' from the list of levels that appear. This will bypass the intro cutscene that causes the crash.
The direct X6.1 is not required as I presume you are running on Windows XP or later and you will be using a newer version of direct X.
The 445 patch MUST be installed on Windows XP/VISTA/WIN7/Win8 or the game won't work.
