I wanna play Drakan another time
I wanna play Drakan another time
Hi!!
It's the first time I enter this forum, so let me do some kind of presentation. I'm a spanish girl (so, yes, that's why my english is sooooo bad, sorry) who used to enjoy playing Drakan with my bro. Later we purchased Drakan TAG (too bad it didn't have PC version) and we beat it several times but, somehow, we liked more Order of the flame so we keep playing it too. Until, one day, the computer cd player got mad and it burned (literally) the Drakan CD so it went useless [:(][:(]
Then I downloaded the game from de Edonkey...but I couldn't play MP mode anymore U_U (only LAN one).
Today I woke up nostalgic about the game and I've been searching Drakan webs...and, well, here I am.
So, does anybody know how can I reconnect to play MP again??
Well, anyway, I'm glad to see there're still Drakan fans over the net [8D]

Hi and welcome to the forums! It's possible that the version you downloaded is incomplete as it's a pirate copy but however there are a few other things it could be.
First of all, you need to patch the game to version 445 and then follow these instructions http://www.arokhslair.net/tech.html#online especially the part about editing your configuration file as this can cause problems if not edited correctly.
After you have done that, download and install Gamespy Arcade. The in game server browser no longer works unless server IP addresses are manually entered so its best to use Gamespy to browse servers. This would explain why only LAN games are available. This is because Gamespy who operate the master server changed the way it worked.

This error is caused by one of three things:
1. You don't have the level file it's trying to load.
2. You have the level file and it's not identical to the one on the server.
3. You're trying to use the SPB2 server and didn't use the patching tool.
