If you don't use the 2.1 fixed EXE the game will crash randomly and force you to reboot your computer. SmartE, the protection that's used by Microsoft on its games causes this to happen. It works similar to the way FADE does but it isn't as annoying/buggy on legit cds.
Interesting stuff - I even used the Carbon clone CD1 for it but I guess these clones aren't up to much ;-P

Dungeon Siege II retail patch v2.1

Changes:

1. Created a segmented file save system for GameSpy file size compatibility.

2. Adjusted GameSpy vaulting protocols to compensate for party save files during loss of connection.

Exactly, so why bother? Wink

Well finished the game - ending a bit lame with yet more references to an upcoming sequel-sequel-sequel Smile Last 2 boss fights were ok - the 3 death wizards I found very annoying!
Hah! Back in the prisoner cage but with my 4 level 43 char's

So you didn't experience any crazy crashes, Bugulous? Interesting. I might try the mini-ISO. I hate having to put my original disc in there when I'm trying to listen to music.

I updated to 2.1 lost my old games - started a new game for like 10 minutes, got p***d off managed to hack it back - didn't have any crashes, with or without the Carbon CD1 clone in the drive ;-P

Guess I'll have to try it out.

I tried using my burned cd (not a carbon clone), and it played fine for about 15 minutes and then it gave me a hard crash. Twice. That annoyed the hell out of me.

After NWN shattered in my drive some years ago I really have very little inclination to use original CDs when I don't need to.

Best weapon set I got was from the merchant quest & you kill the invisible assassin - get 1 long & 1 short sword with lots of death damage - great for a dual wield character Smile

I can't believe they cracked this useless update instead of the Boiling Point Patch. Shocked
Or is Smarte such a crappy protection that it only takes some minutes for a skilled cracker?

It's not a "useless" crack. Some of us actually own the game and wish to play it on the internet without having to insert the CD every time.

Suprisingly, I like the game. It combines the best of Diablo and Sacred. Hack n' slash, but still lot of fun.

yeah that smith quest was pretty tough if you try it when you first get the quest. i was able to do it when I got the quest, but it took awhile to take the hp off those bosses. after midway through the first act, the game becomes a breeze

Haha, i did the Morden Riders quest for the first time now, missed it as mercenary. That is some class stuff, laughed my ass off. Best thing was when you give your last goodbye at the first discussion. The riders have been saying "Quite Bruno" each time the klask named Bruno has grunted and then he grunts the last time and YOU say: "Quite Bruno. I shall see what i can do."

Hilarious. Smile

Very much Monty Python but still greatly enjoyable. Best time i've had as veteran without question.

Wait with doing this until you get to Aman'lu, then teleport back. I did it directly but you arent able to cash out your reward till you get to Aman'lu and the drops you get are too high for the level you're at anyways. So just sit tight and wait till you get to Aman'lu.

Coming up on Valdis in Veteran mode now. I need some feedback for who/what to bring as my final groupmember in Elite.

The already set members are: Me (Dual Wield-tank), Lothar (Shield-tank), Arwen (Bow/Crossbow-Ranger), Finala (Fire-spec combat mage), Taar (Healing/Freezing-nature mage).

Now my suggestions for the final groupmember are these:

1. Sartan or Eva as a twohanded weapons-tank.
2. Vix as a thrown weapons-ranger.
3. Deru as a secondary nature mage or another combat mage.
4. Some pet

So the feedback i need is this:

1. Sartan or Eva? Who has the most interesting/rewarding specific quests? How is the damage and the powers of two handed tanks? What sets exist? I know of only the Frostheim set as of yet. The actual utility of the twohanded warrior is quite a secondary priority seeing as i dont really need more damage anyways, so the biggest reason is to "unlock" the twohanded weapons i now just sell off.
2. Same thing here, damage/powers? Again i know only of one set, The Winds of Kel'Drasil. Also same thing goes for utility needs.
3. No questions here really except maybe if there are any other nature mages except for Deru. I dont think i've even seen another combat mage for that matter, are there any?
4. Most feedback needed here really, never tried a pet, how are they, which would compliment my setup best? If i understand correctly you dont equip them but you feed them items to level them, is this worth it? It's not like i need the cash but anyways.

All feedback appreciated Smile

From the Lost Valley of the Azunite portal, go east on the path (east towards Arinth's prison). Don't go to Arinth's prison, instead, stay on the path till you reach a cave. Go through that cave and u will cross a ravine outside and be lead into another cave. In this cave u will find 2 extendable bridges ( extendable by switch's ). Between the two bridges you will find an elevator with a switch beside it. It's really hard to miss.

Anybody know if the v2.1 update fixes the "old man not clearing the log" bug?

Also, it seems like the v2.1 update doesn't recognize your pre-2.1 save game. I don't see the "continue" option on the main screen anymore.

Is there a fix for this? I checked in the save folder and the old save files are still there. Has the game changed save directory with the v2.1?

I really don't want to start over again. Thanks.

Any idea if the allEnL@aSxDoX +5 v1.00 trainer work with the new v2.1 patched game?
