The same for me. No problems. It even imported my old profile, options, resolution and saves. It plays in fullscreen with any tweak.

"In GOG we trust".

Indeed. The Dark Eye has a different approach to magic than D&D. Magic is suppossed to be more subtle, more focused on buffs/debuffs. Direct damage spells are possible, but not optimal, although they are there just in case. Someone who expects magic to handle in the same way than D&D or other computer games (press F for fireball) need to change their point of view for The Dark Eye. Like, how many fireballs did Gandalf throw in Lord of the Rings? :-)

Other great RPG/tactical game in GOG based on The Dark Eye system and setting (Aventuria) is Blackguards, heartily recommended (choose the default Hunter character!). Chains of Satinav ia an adventure game in the same setting, where you get to play a young Hunter.

I remember that The River of Time was trickier to deal with. I had it functional but I needed to launch it windowed via command line. But once I tried to go fullscreen the game crashed or gave me black screen.
The window mode wasn't borderless and part of the screen was slopped or hidden due to my specific resolution. I needed to use external programs to force it borderless, but of course, at least for me, window mode made suffer a lot performance wise ingame.

I hope they find a fix finally.

GOG is amazing. Chaos Gate required no less than a virtual environment in order to play properly. Now it launches with no problem at all. If anyone can fix it, GOG will fix it.

Fuck the OFLC / ACB and screw GOG for accepting regional pricing and screwing everything up for their Australian customers!

This kids is WHY piracy exists heavily in Australia!

I put in an hour yesterday and all my saves worked, and everything ran with no problems at all. Didn't need to go windowed.

River of Time is a nightmare on Windows 10. I played it half-way through when I had my Windows 7 computer years back. Fired it up a few months ago on Windows 10, virtually unplayable. I have the Steam version. Im hoping GoG gets it, and packages them altogether, and fixed.

i really dont understand why they need to block australia from buying this game. Its old. From what i know -- there isnt any offensive content?. Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

River of Time (and the original Drakensang) work just fine with dgVoodoo on Windows 10, as long as you play them in your desktop resolution. I suspect GOG is similarly using their bespoke D3D9 wrapper for this.

Also, please GOG, if you decide to release River of Time, do so WITH the original German version. The Steam version will only allow you to play in English.

The English localisation was absolutely horrendous (through no fault of the translator, whom I knew personally - he was commissioned freelance by the external localisation agency, given an Excel sheet with the strings and absolutely no context or video footage to provide guidance).

My guess is anything over 1920x1080 as there weren't any 1440p monitors widely used back then; all I needed to do was change the resolution via the settings file, and all is right with the world as I'm currently playing the game in glorious 1440p!

Even stranger when Amazon seems to sell the retail collection there.

Thanks! Would be nice to know if German and French voiceovers are included as well (I remember the Steam version of The River of Time was English only, although the original game is German and German voiceovers are much more fun; not sure if the same goes for Drakensang though, voiceovers in that one seem to be rather basic).

Gonna have to give this game a shot, looks good.
