Please stand by

Started this game today and after about 7 hours I'm still trying to figure out how some of it works. I got myself stuck in an evergreen tree before having saved and had to start the game over from the beginning. I couldn't move.

I haven't gotten to any fighting or supernatural stuff yet. I hope I'll be able to handle it.

I played this game when it first came out and just loved it. Having said that, it was a long time ago and I barely remember anything about it now. The fighting is pretty easy save for maybe one or two fights, as I recall.

I actually have this installed on my computer right now - I installed it months ago thinking that I would replay it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I think it's well worth playing if you can get used to the top-down view and the rest of the interface.

GameBoomers reviewed the game here.

Thanks Marian. I remember reading in some thread that you liked this game a lot. I read the review before I installed the game. The top-down view isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Do you have it installed in Windows 7? I didn't try it there. I put it in the XP.

Yes, I have it installed on Windows 7. There is also a small patch that I applied, which I believe I downloaded from Patches Scrolls.

What is the patch for? Do I need it? I didn't see anything in the review or top of the walkthrough that mentioned a patch for anything.

You have made me want to re-play this game, oldbroad !! But I no longer have it. So I've bagged myself a copy from Ebay

Then I went to Patches Scrolls - but didn't understand the procedure for downloading the patch - so moved on to Gamepressure and download their 2006 update.
[Just have to hope it's the right patch !!]

I am pretty sure there was only one patch, Mad, so it sounds like you are good to go.

Thanks, Marian

And good luck with the game, oldbroad

What is the patch for?

My patch function is described here :-

Thanks Mad. I wonder if I really need it or not. If it would require restarting the game, I'll pass.

I can't remember whether using the patch requires a re-start of the game, oldbroad, but personally, if you haven't got too far in to the game, I would use it

I am pretty sure that I had gotten through most of the game before the patch was released. I do remember that it made finding the herbs easier. I don't remember experiencing the inventory bug mentioned in the patch description. I don't recall restarting the game for the patch, but I just can't trust my memory about that completely.

Okay thanks. Maybe I'll download it and then decide.

I've made it into Act 2 which means I fought one fight successfully and I also completed training with the Blacksmith. Left off in the game around 1:30 am not sure what to do next or where to go, but I will hopefully figure that out today.

I did download and save the patch but have not installed it. Still thinking on it.

Are you playing Marian and Mad?

I'm not playing the game - I have it installed, though, and will probably play it again in the future.

Keep us posted on your progress.

No, not playing the game yet, oldbroad

Well, I am still stuck but not asking for help yet as I don't want to have you looking at the walkthrough for me when you are going to (maybe) be replaying the game soon. I will try one more time to see if I can get somewhere and if not, then I'll see if the game is on UHS hints or not, and go from there.

Also, I do have the printed walkthrough right next to my computer if I need to take a peek.

That's very thoughtful of you, oldbroad. I just looked to see if Daemonica is on UHS hints, and it is.

Great, thanks.

Hi Marian

I decided to see if my copy of Daemonica (bought on Ebay) works ok so I installed it in Win7, installed the update (I think) walked about a bit and then made a save.
But for the life of me I can't find where the save is

As you say you also installed in Win7, could you possibly please tell me where your saves go ??
So I can make a note of that for when I actually play the game.

[AFTER your birthday celebrations, of course !! ]

Thanks.

Mad

I found my saved games here:

C:\Daemonica\Data\savedgames\

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you .... That was fast !! But I'm sure you can't have finished your birthday celebrations already ????

Well .... If I simply open C Drive, Daemonica doesn't show. I have to open "C /Programme Files (x86) to see a mention of it - and I've looked at every file in there but can't find anything resembling saves.

I've also looked in C Drive/Users/App Data - and then Local, LocalLow and Roaming - and can't see anything in any of those, either.

Stumped !!

No, I am still celebrating - no worries on that score.

I think I probably installed the game outside of Program Filesx86 myself, because that is something I tend to do with older games - install them outside of that. But otherwise, I don't see why the data folder would not be there in the Daemonica folder.

I wish I could help more.
