SpellForce 2 Hardware Patch

[NeoX]

hi,

I understand your fear about the effort, but with the legacy version it can not repeat. I think.

So what is the legacy version actually? Is it only obtainable playing the game from disc? I read the gold version has this issue as well. So I applied the hardware patch which works pretty well, but does that mean I can start a new save file with a charater with my own or do I have to trust that the Xian save file works? I wanna make REALLY sure that the effort pays off.

I see Xian already gave you the important information. Well legacy means 2.01 and older and yes the Gold Edition has the issue too if already 2.01 patched. You would need 2.00 (Shadow Wars base game and Dragon Storm addon installed as own games).

Let me try something tomorrow after work, maybe i can copy the correct map informations into your savegame, if the memory structure is not too different.

If that does not play out, only equiping you with the legacy game version will solve it for sure (at a new run).

Thank you for trying your best.

Yeah I guess since its hard to access playing through it again to the legacy version is just another barrier. I might really consider it if i'm desperate enough with cheats like revealing the map. (So I don't have to walk through all of Sevenkeep) just wish there is an 1-hit insta kill cheat and 500% speed (which I can turn off at the right time of course)

But on the other hand thinking that any version is always spoiled. I would definitely share such a save only for people in the future being able to play the mission at the right time.

Not sure if you're still looking. Just wanna inform you that I got a solution that works for me thanks to Wormic and his modder friend (don't know his name unfortunelately, but you have my thanks.)

So it's not necessary to look further into.

I will upload a savefile soon (and a .cff data) just before Winterlight for anyone who also has this problem to have an alternative. As long they don't mind giving up their character.

thanks for the feedback on that! I had no time to do further experiements on this cause because of a busy week so far, so i planned to do it at the weekened, but if someone did beat me to it, Also fine ^^.

Looking forwards to you sharing the workaround!

Hey there thanks for the kind words.

Though I still might need your help though i'm unsure if you know a way around it.

So the save file itself works. I can visit Winterlight Peak. Unfortunelately, it's a cheated save file with the character having a double amount of health and double amount of mana, which of course, is making the game too easy.
Are you per change knowledgeable in stat manipulation? Like could I send you a save file and you know a way to reduce the health of the player avatar manually by editing something in the files of the game?

I'm asking you here as I haven't heard anything anymore from Wormics friend, which is unfortunate but I can understand that its hard to justify doing all the hassle for a random like me.

that sounds like artmoney manipulation. Damn that was ages ago. Why did you get a cheat savegame anyway?
