So you crash before you get to character creation?

If you hit Esc to skip the Start_Movie, does it help or just crash faster?

Did you check out the [PC] Support FAQ - The Dragon Knight Saga topic?


You can edit the graphicoptions.xml file (in Notepad, or other text editor) to run the game in a window (though that function is unsupported). Look for the option Fullscreen="1" and change the one to a zero.
If that lets you get into the game, you could save, exit and set it back.

In XP this file is in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Divinity 2\Profile\

in Vista/7
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Divinity 2\Profile\

You may need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders (XP, Vista, Win 7).

The Windows Borderless Gaming app should also work (have not tried it).
