Drakensang: The Dark Eye Forum

Step 1:
Install Drakensang from your DVD in a new bottle called "Drakensang".

Step 2:
Download Patch 1.01 and install it

Patch: http://www.drakensang.de/oe_uploads/downloads/Drakensang_Patch_1.01_DE.zip (higher patches not tested)

Step 3:
Download DirectX 9.c March 2009 and install it, earlier versions don't work.

Download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/C/4/3C46A69A-CB0F-4CCA-B1E8-248D43270D5F/directx_mar2009_redist.exe

Step 4:
Download the archive drakensangdlls.tar.gz, extract it and run the script reg_drakensang_dlls.sh with "sh reg_drakensang_dlls.sh". Be sure that Drakensang is installed in the bottle "Drakensang".

Download Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/227510463/drakensangdlls.tar.gz
or
Download Filefront: http://files.filefront.com/drakensangdllstargz/;13851011;/fileinfo.html

Step 5:
Run Drakensang. When u get the message "Could not create render target surface!" then do following:

Open the Crossover Run-Window, change to bottle "Drakensang" and start "regedit.exe".
Add the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/OffscreenRenderingMode " and set the value to "fbo" (Key and value without "")
When there is no Direct3D, create it.

Step 6:
Start the game. The videos and the 3D mode should work. There are only minor graphic glitches with white trees and flying grass. :)

The rapidshare link still works - perhaps there was some outage that

I´ve got installed Drakensang Gold Edition with Crossover 8.0 pro.
The script in the archive "drakensangdlls.tar.gz" won´t work for me.
I think cause of the gold edition or the new Crossover.(The gold edition cames with build-in patch 1.1)
Please help!

This script is for Crossover games. If you want to use it with Crossover 8 pro, you have to edit the script and change in all lines cxgames to cxoffice.

How do I modify this script to register these dll's in Crossover Games Mac? I don't know what to do with these lines:

/opt/cxgames/bin/wine --bottle Drakensang regsvr32 xactengine2_0.dll

EDIT: I think I managed to get the script to run by altering all of the pathways to match the Mac file structure, but I still get an error about a failure to run the audio subsystem.

Sorry for digging out this old thread

But i still have a problem.
I have done all the steps, but when i try to start the game, i get a message, that no disc is inserted.
But it is inserted.

I really don't know what to do, I hope, that someone still can help me.

CYKEB

so, i tried a crack, now i get 2 errors

1. Graphics hardware is below minimum spec (at least shader model 2.0 required)!
   2.Runtime Error!
   Program C:\Program Files\Drakensang\drakensang.exe

   This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
   Please contact the application's support team for more information.

But my graphic card normally supports it...
