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.
