Well, I guess you know this now since you were the replyer to my help desk ticket but I had already opened a ticket - I just didn't know how to update without opening a new one short of waiting for the reply then replying to that message.
I haven't tried any of what you have said yet (as of 10:00 PM PST, 6 March) - after opening the ticket then adding a message here, I downloaded "Dragon Commander" (bought it the same time as Divinity II). I'll be getting to your suggestions following this. Something had to have changed though either some update somewhere (GOG Galaxy, something on my PC, etc) because it all worked prior. Wouldn't surprise me at all if McAfee did an update and now the issue starts. One question though - in a pinned topic within the "technical issues" by Lar_q, (
http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=425051#Post425051), there is a support tool that I am wondering if it was still useful. It was quite a while ago and prior to DC. Should I use and send that too?
