Guten Tag allerseits,

ich wrde gerne wissen ob diese Version

Divinity II Ego Draconis (Software Pyramide) fr PC

mit der normalen Retailverkaufsversion von

Divinity II Flames of Vengeance fr PC

kompatibel ist.

Falls dem so ist interessiert mich noch, ob dieser Patch

http://www.larian.com/fov2dks_community.php

ohne weiteres dann darauf angewendet werden kann.

Der Hintergrund ist folgender:
Ich besitze und spiele zur Zeit die Ego Draconis Version von der Softwarepyramide (fr 10 zu erhalten) welche die Versionsnummer 1.3.15.112 hat.
Nun berlege ich mir noch das AddOn Flames of Vengeance zuzulegen, welches auch recht gnstig zu erhalten ist und beides per Patch auf The Dragon Knight Saga zu bringen, damit ich in den Genuss der "vollstndigen" Version dieses guten RPGs komme.

Ich weis, dass es auch das "All-In-One-Pack" The Dragon Knight Saga gibt. Da ich aber bereits das "Hauptspiel" habe, wre die Anschaffung nur des AddOns die sinnvollere Alternative. Zumal sich theoretisch "Ego Draconis + Flames of Vengeance" zu "The Dragon Knight Saga" (+ smtliche Verbesserungen, Engine usw.) patchen lassen.

Ich wrde ungern das AddOn kaufen und feststellen, dass meine Sofware-Pyramidenversion damit nicht funktioniert wink

Wrde mich freuen, wenn mir Jemand weiterhelfen knnte. Vielen Dank schonmal.

Hi,

This is definitely possible.
The only issue you might have is that gui.dv2 and gfx.dv2 files are not compatible with the fov2dks patch since the german software pyramide version is a pre-installed 1.03 version.

There is an easy fix for this:
simply place these two files in your ../Data/Win32/packed/ directory after applying the fov2dks patch:
a. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19240087/Larian/GUI.dv2?dl=1 <broken link>
b. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19240087/Larian/GFX.dv2?dl=1 <broken link>

Both files, zipped: download.


After installing the fov2dks patch, make sure to add the drm_free exe of dks on top of that version:
http://www.larian.com/dks_DRM_free_community.php <broken link>

Rename or delete the current Divinity2.exe file in the install folder and extract the DRM free version from this download.


If you have any issues, contact support@larian.com

Hello again,

thank you for your help and answer.
I will try out your workaround. Sounds simple wink

Besides, i've got some additional questions:

Before i apply the fov2dks patch ( http://www.larian.com/fov2dks_community.php ), after installing the Flames of Vengeance Addon, do i have to patch the Flames of Vengeance installation? I think the patch found here :
http://www.larian.com/fov_support.php
should be the one to apply?

Long story short:
The correct way of installing and patching should be:
1. install Divinity 2 Ego Draconis (Software-Pyramide-Version)
2. install Divinity 2 Flames of Vengeance Addon (Retail-Version)
3. apply latest patch for Flames of Vengeance (http://www.larian.com/fov_support.php )
4. apply fov2dks patch (http://www.larian.com/fov2dks_community.php)
5. place file (a) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19240087/Larian/GUI.dv2 and file (b) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19240087/Larian/GFX.dv2 in the ../Data/Win32/packed/ directory
6. add the drm_free exe of dks on top of that version (http://www.larian.com/dks_DRM_free_community.php)

I hope i got it right smile
I would appreciate a validation of my summory.

kindly regards

ps: I apologise for my bad english (school's out for some years wink )

pps: Additional remark: Thank you Larian-Studios for a great game. It's quite addictive and charming. I love the quest design and the dialogue writings. Also the german translation, especially the dubbing, is fantastic. Great Job!

no, do not apply the patch to FoV

- install Ego D.
- install FoV
- install community patch Fov-to-DKS
- place the two .dv2 files
- add drm_free exe
- enjoy ! smile

Hello,

I wanted to play D2 and FOV again and ran into the same problems like the first poster. The postings here were a big help, but the link to the GUI.dv2 seems to be broken.
Because of this I tried to use the GUI.dv2 from the D2 DVD. But now I have tons of graphic bugs.

It would be very nice if the GUI.dv2 could be downloaded again.

Thanks, Nebukadnezar

Hallo,

Ich wollte mal wieder D2 und FOV spielen und hab nun die gleichen Probleme wie der erste Poster. Die Antworten hier waren eine gro゚e Hilfe, aber der Link zur GUI.dv2 scheint kaputt zu sein.
Ich hab daher probiert, die GUI.dv2 von der D2 DVD zu benutzen, aber jetzt hab ich eine Unmenge von Grafik-Fehlern.

Es w舐e sehr nett, wenn man die GUI.dv2 wieder runterladen k?nte.

Danke, Nebukadnezar.

The file is still there, but at least Firefox is trying to open it, rather than download it. You should have been able to right clicked on the original link and select 'Save link As...' (or something to that effect, depending on the browser) to download it. I have updated the links slightly to download by default (adding ?dl=1 to the end).


(Google-Ubersetzung)
Die Datei ist immer noch da, aber zumindest Firefox versucht, sie zu offnen, anstatt sie herunterzuladen. Sie sollten (in diesem Sinne oder so, je nach Browser) der Lage gewesen, auf der urspr?glichen Link geklickt rechts und wahlen Sie "Verknupfung speichern unter ...", um es herunterzuladen. Ich habe aktualisiert die Verkn?fungen leicht, die standardm籖ig (?dl=1 Zugabe bis zum Ende) herunterladen.
