I tried to install patch 1.3 into a brand new copy ( Version 1.0 ) of the game.

The patch couldn't the find path where I installed the game, and extracted itself to a path of its own, even when I pointed to the correct game path [img]graemlins/cat3.gif[/img]

Solution - Extract the patch to a separate path, then copy the files from the patch into their corresponding folders in the game, one folder at a time. Allow your PC to overwrite all copied files as you do this.

The game now runs on version 1.3. Still lots of bugs, though. I only managed to play for about 10 minutes before my character got stuck on top of a chest, and crashed the game.

So much promise, so little delivered .... sigh ...
And to think I paid 25% of the price of a PSP for this piece of bug ridden digital dribble !!

Bummer, isn't it

I've had a lot more fun with 1.3 than I did with the earlier less-patched versions. It certainly could have been done more effectively, and I also found a spot where I could get stuck -- in the Naga Temple, there's an opening in the wall in the teleporter area. Go in the opening and you can see a ledge... but jump to the ledge, and you're stuck there forever. Or at least until you reload...

Bummer indeed. I didn't load DL into the default directory but was lucky enough not to run into this problem.
I did discover that you can jump on top of the walls of Fargrove (from inside) and then jump off into never-never land. Same actually when you are on one of the floating islands.
Doomed to wander ether space forever, I guess.
