Introduction
About the Game
Be Riddick, the most ruthless criminal in the universe. In his latest chronicle, Riddick has been captured by The Dark Athena, a mercenary ship hell-bent on eliminating him once and for all. Using his intense hand-to-hand combat skills, explosive firepower, and lethal stealth, Riddick must shut down the maniacal Captain Revas and her deadly crew. When Riddick steps into the darkness, no one is safe.
Before battling the Necromongers on Helion Prime — even before the crash landing of the Hunter-Gratzner on a deserted planet in Pitch Black — Riddick stalked his enemies across the universe. Play the award-winning Escape from Butcher Bay campaign, which has been re-mastered with top of the line graphics specifically for next-gen systems.
The new Assault on Dark Athena campaign takes place immediately following the events on Butcher Bay, as now Riddick must use his well-honed skills to evade capture by the forces of Captain Revas, and put an end to her evil plans once and for all.

Issues And Fixes
IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH SAVES:
- Please do note that there is a problem with the steam version of The Chronicles of Riddick (might affect other version of the game but unknown so far). If you launch TCoR and go away from your computer for a period of time where you computer can go to screensaver mode it will erase all your save files for the current game your playing.
For example: Your finished the story line for Escape from Butchers Bay and are half way through Assault on Dark Athena and you paused the game or are in the main menu and go away for enough time for your computer to go into screen saver mode, it will erase all files from Assault on Dark Athena because it is the last game you played.
To resolve this launch the game and play it and exit the game without leaving it running or disable screen saver mode.
