==Issues unresolved==
 +
===Ice Cold Warrior spell corrupts saves===
 +
Savegames made while the ''[https://drakensang.fandom.com/en/wiki/Ice_Cold_Warrior Ice Cold Warrior]'' spell is active on a character can get corrupted and cause endless loading screens. The spell can also cause the game to crash on some area transitions. It is best to wait out the duration of the spell before saving or changing areas.
 +
 +
==Miscellaneous==
 +
===Quest mods===
 +
There are a number of mods available that add new content. However, most are only available in German language. [https://www.dsa-drakensang.de/?go=kaltensteins_schatten_modifikation Kaltensteins Schatten] is by far the largest and most polished player-made expansion. For a complete list see [https://www.dsa-drakensang.de/?go=download&cat_id=11 here].
 +
{{ii}} If you use the Steam version of Phileasson's secret, you need to first edit the Registry to correctly install the mods for Phileasson's secret. [[Windows#Registry Editor|Use regedit]], got to <code>{{p|hklm}}\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\DTP\Drakensang_TRoT</code> and add a string named ''version_addon'' with value '''1.11'''.<ref>https://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1545356-Kaltensteins-schatten-und-Das-Auge-der-G%C3%B6ttin-auf-Drakensang-von-Steam-installieren?p=26228853&viewfull=1#post26228853</ref>
 +
 +
===More character creation options===
 +
This mod adds new faces and body types to character creation. Mod installation UI is in German, but should work with any game version. Download [http://mods.jo-ge.net/dsa4/index.htm Charakteroptik Mod].
 +
 +
===Fixpack for German version===
 +
Small fan-made fixpack that fixes some typos and gameplay bugs. Specifically for German version. Download [http://mods.jo-ge.net/dsa4/index.htm Fixpack]. List of all changes [http://mods.jo-ge.net/dsa4/afdz/fixpack.txt here] (German).

Issues fixed

Launch problems

Launch with command line arguments[5][6][7]
  • Launch with -windowed -d3d9 command line arguments.
  • If this doesn't work, you can try adding the -novideo parameter as well, so -windowed -d3d9 -novideo.
  • Alternatively, use -autoconfig -noborder -windowed parameters instead.
  • After applying whatever command line arguments work for you, use a tool like Borderless gaming to make the game run in fullscreen.
Make your antivirus program ignore the game folders[8][9]

Issues unresolved

Ice Cold Warrior spell corrupts saves

Savegames made while the Ice Cold Warrior spell is active on a character can get corrupted and cause endless loading screens. The spell can also cause the game to crash on some area transitions. It is best to wait out the duration of the spell before saving or changing areas.

Miscellaneous

Quest mods

There are a number of mods available that add new content. However, most are only available in German language. Kaltensteins Schatten is by far the largest and most polished player-made expansion. For a complete list see here.

If you use the Steam version of Phileasson's secret, you need to first edit the Registry to correctly install the mods for Phileasson's secret. Use regedit, got to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\DTP\Drakensang_TRoT and add a string named version_addon with value 1.11.[10]

More character creation options

This mod adds new faces and body types to character creation. Mod installation UI is in German, but should work with any game version. Download Charakteroptik Mod.

Fixpack for German version

Small fan-made fixpack that fixes some typos and gameplay bugs. Specifically for German version. Download Fixpack. List of all changes here (German).
