Divinity II: Developer's Cut is a singleplayer third-person RPG game in the Divinity series.
The game was originally released as Divinity II: Ego Draconis in July 2009, with its expansion Flames of Vengeance coming out in July 2010. The two were bundled in The Dragon Knight Saga in October 2010, with Ego Draconis receiving a visual update.
Digital releases have all been upgraded to the fully patched Director's Cut edition in October 2012, featuring a separate debug executable that the developers used for development and troubleshooting and which allows the usage of various console commands not otherwise accessible.
The game's known issues range from microstuttering, crashes caused by running on a system with more than 4 GB RAM, and poor multi-core processor support resulting in performance hits.

Issues fixed
Crash on saving/loading or exiting buildings
In particular areas, the game may crash when exiting buildings or when trying to save or load. Patching the game executable to allow access to 4 GB RAM seems to resolve this.
Apply the NTCORE 4 GB RAM patcher[citation needed] |
---|
blankname's Div2Patcher comes with the 4GB Patch pre-installed |
---|
Low frame rate
Enable timeslice shadow updates in game settings[citation needed] |
---|
Installing blankname's Div2Patcher will also alleviate low frame rate issues |
---|
Micro-stuttering on multi-core systems
- In-built multi-core support is broken in that it induces severe stuttering in-game and also on the main menu.
Disable the multi-core option in game settings[citation needed] |
---|
blankname's Div2Patcher fixes the broken multi-core support |
---|
Micro-stuttering on Windows Vista/7
- May cause alt-tabbing issues
Disable desktop composition in the executable's properties[citation needed] |
---|
Lower FPS cap to 55 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
|
Lower mouse polling rate |
---|
|
Use an external framerate limiter to run the game at 30 fps[4] |
