Retail version wrongly says disc not inserted
When you've installed the retail disc version and installed the included TAGES DRM and the game still complains about the disc not being in the drive despite it being inserted, then you must update TAGES (x64-version for most users).[5]
Crashes on startup with "startup reset failed"
Disable fullscreen optimizations in the compatibility settings of Legend.exe (right-click -> properties) in the game directory.[6]
