dyscode: - Silverfall and Earth Awakening Expansio, a MUST COMBO!
Note: DotEmu is AFAIK the only place where you can get Silverfall DRM-free and client-free. However, their version has two problem (or at least had them when I checked last time, it may be fixed now):
1. The window of the configuration utility is too small when your desktop scheme has a 125% zoom. You can either change the desktop zoom level, or enlarge the window size in Data\config.ini
2. The installers install the games in two separate folders. This works (Earth Awakening is a standalone expansion), but doesn't allow you to play the base game in the much improved engine of the expansion. To play the base game in the better engine, you need to:
- Install Silverfall, launch the game and create your character
- Delete everything in the folder you installed the game to, except the "save" folder, and the "Data\Design\Mission" folder
- Now, you should only have the "save" and the "Mission" folder with the .sct files inside. You must keep the same architecture, so don't delete the "design" or "data" folder.
- Install Silverfall Earth Awakening in the same place you installed Silverfall (C:\Program Files\Dotemu\Silverfall if you didn't change the original path). The default path in the Earth Awakening installer is C:\Program Files\Dotemu\Silverfall - Earth Awakening", so you'll need to change it.
- Launch Earth Awakening. You should now be able to play with 1st level characters in the improved engine.
Note: The above was the result of a conversation between DotEmu support and me, and they max have fixed the installers in the meantime. I'm just posting this info to save people some hair-pulling in case they haven't.
