Hey together,

i've tried running Albion with 4 different PCs (or better hardware configurations) over the years and it crashes directly after the intro videos, but only in the german version. The english one runs fine.
Playing the english version wouldn't be a problem in theory, but i wanted to relive my childhood memories and play in the same language as back in the days. Sadly my original CD has too many scratches on it, damn careless past-self.

I doubt the specs will help in this case, but the actual ones are:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X / 32 GB / RTX 3080 TI
AMD Ryzen 9 4900 HS / 16 GB / RTX 2060 Max-Q
Both are Windows 10 21H1, all drivers&Bios up2date.

Tried all the graphics settings, but they make no difference at all and google isn't any real help nowadays thanks to Albion Online.

All i get is a neat striped screen right before the crash with no error message at all. (see attachment). Maybe anyone has an idea how to fix that, whatever it is.
I couldn't find any error-logfiles, nor does the Windows eventlog shows anything about the crash.

The dosbox stdout.txt reads:

Is there any way to enable verbose mode for troubleshooting?
[log]
logfile=F:\albionlog.txt wont work in the config.

Thanks :)

Hey,
that works like a charm with the german version. Finally i can play this gem again.
Thank you!

Marking your post as the solution :)

Glad it worked! Have fun
