Thiev: Not to mention, that 'fixes' in that Gold/Collector's Edition were not available for previous owners. Basically they tried to sell the game second time for full price.
And now apparently for the third time -_- At least it isn't $40 like the previous ones, but good luck with that anyway.
And subsequent releases of the game, when it was bundled together with other games, only contained the standard edition. (There were two different ones. One containing Gothic 3 (unpatched) & Dungeon Lords, and another containing Gothic 3 (unpatched) Spellforce 2 & Dungeon Lords. Thus they bundled two broken games into one collection, and expected people to be happy with it.)
I'm afraid the game is still buggy - even with the Dungeon Lords MMXII and the release patch.

In addition to other bugs listed over at Nordic Games forums for Dungeon Lords MMXII, Here is a copy of my post:

Dungeon Lords MMXII Bugs

Dungeon Lords The game that could have been a cult classic and high level contender, If it was not for the so-called issues and problems by the people who created it and worked on it over the years. At this point and time, after 3 or 4 re-releases and 6 patches, One would think that the game would be ship shape after all these years.... There is simply no more valid excuses for the buggy issues in the game.

Things that still need to be fixed.

1) Assigning keyboard keys can cause strange things to happen, like escaping out of the assignment menu.

2) Jumping from a height is buggy, When you hit the ground it still shows the falling animation for a few seconds.

3) Climbing latters is a joke, The animation for it does not always work, resulting in a float up the latter.

4) Dying in this game can be a utter puke-fest. The animation is poor, and sometimes does not work at all - like dying while bashing a trapped chest.

5) Programmers Bloatware is all to apparent in this game. If you take out all the files from pervious versions of this game, that are not being used, you could decrease the game size and download time...

6) The game manual (PDF) that comes with the game is a poorly Updated version of a previous version. Many of the new features are not explained well, nor is there a proper explanation on spell powers (what they do), potions and character classes.

7) Trading multiple items can be like a foul smelling gas, the Quanity to trade menu gets posted under your inventory screen (should be posted on top for obvious reasons).

8) After you save Lady Loria in Fargo and speak to her, she rewards you with a tripendicular empty conversation box on the right side of the screen, along with her response on the left side of the screen.

9) Traps on chest are a mess, 90 percent of the time, the trap description has nothing to do with the trap on the chest (Example: Poison Needle, but you get fire instead and no posion at all.)

10) Ever heard of TOOL TIPS? No, I did not just make that term up..... You should have tool tips in the game, instead of letting everyone trip out in wonderland.

Come on, How about some loyalty to all the fans of this game and its prevous versions? Or is this just another paycheck to be collected.

With shady practices like that, how do they manage to stay afloat?
lol, its going to bomb, yet again, lol
It hit DotEmu.
Dear god...

I remember playing the "Fixed, Gold" version years ago and it's still one of the worst games I have ever played to this day

I don't know exactly why they are trying to rework this game yet again with another update but hey, it might be decent this time, right guys

Right? Guys....?

Or they COULD have just made a completely new game and move on

I bought this game back in 2005. Bad decision.
So has anyone here actually played this "New" version?

Has anything improved whatsoever? Did they actually managed to make it playable at least?
This game sucked back then, it probably sucks still.

I wouldn't recommend it, especially for the money they want for this turd.
