seek112: I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but when I try to set the path for my Gog Drakensang folders (for the Install.bat) I get a "cannot locate db4 files" issue.

Mobeeuz: I haven't tried the patch yet, but by reading the bat file, you unpack the whole thing into your drakensang folder and run it.
Ok, I did that but am still getting the same error. When I double click the install.bat it takes me to a command prompt and even typing in the path or install.bat I am still getting a db4 error. Dang, this is frustrating.

Just to clarify when I am clicking install Ergo's fixpack when it opens the cmd screen the top says the path to "Drakensang\export\db\static\db4" couldn't be read from the registry. Then it gives me the option to set the path and that is where I am getting the error message.

So, two suggestions:

1) Open an admin command prompt, and go to your Drakensang folder (if you have command prompt here installed, you can use that). Then execute the batch file by typing its name from there.

2) When asked for a path, put the path in quotes. If you are already doing that, don't use the quotes instead.

Ok,Ty. I will try that.

WiseLearnedMan: The fixpack is pretty much essential IMO, if only for the movespeed increase.

There were a bunch of mods for this once upon a time, but the site that hosted them (the original publisher's official English-language forum, IIRC) has long since vanished. I wish I'd had the foresight to save them. Unfortunately, the game is just old and obscure enough that most of them are probably lost forever, unless the original authors somehow notice the GOG release and reupload them somewhere. Fingers crossed!
Do you mean these ( translated to english ) mods ? ( direct links )

I know this is necro but on behalf of anyone searching for fix for Ergo's fixpack:

If you are getting: cannot locate db4 files error, do as the readme says, but be carefull to replace the right lines and DO NOT FORGET to specify YOUR installation path in first line you are replacing.

So:

1) unpack Ergo's fix pack anywhere you like
2) try to run Install_Ergo's_Fixpack.bat

if you get error

3) open Install_Ergo's_Fixpack.bat in notepad (or plaintext editor of your choice, I recommend notepad++, but notepad is ok)
open readme.txt

4) replace the first line described (if not exist %pfad%\static.db4 FOR /F "tokens=2* " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKCU\Software\DTP\Drakensang" /v target_folder') DO SET dsroot=%%B\export) with: SET dsroot=c:\my_example_directory\drakensang\export\ <= for me it was line 16, dont be alarmed if it looks a bit different you are basically replacing the clever way the .bat is getting installation path with hard reference

5) make sure you put YOUR INSTALLATION PATH in place of bold text
6) replace second line described (FOR /F "tokens=2* " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKCU\Software\DTP\Drakensang" /v version') DO SET version=%%B) with: SET version=1.03 <= for me it was line 34
7) safe file
8) run again and it should work, if problem persists you might want to try less complicated installation path, like c:\games\drakensang or something like that (but it shouldn't be an issue)
