Hi, Found a fix to get the game running on Windows 11 24H2. In the following folder: \orcs must die!\data\startup Create a file, user.cfg. Open the file In Notepad, type in window, save and close The game should now run, but in a window

The issue is that concerning a "Failed to initialize the engine" error dialog box is a Window 11-related problem caused by a bad recent Microsoft Update. The Windows gaming community is waiting on a fix from Microsoft as the impact was widespread. See: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-11-22h2-paused-downloads-windows-update https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/ubisoft-fixes-windows-11-24h2-conflicts-causing-game-crashes/...

Just downloaded the demo but it doesnt launch, says failed to initialize the engine, any ideas?

can't open spell book it says press B ...i press B to open the so called Spell book ...but it doesn't open ........and the developers doesn't even care i was hoping that update fixes ...fixed it but nope ...it wasn't the case .....Lame ..... i'll score the game developers a 2 ...out of a 100 maybe .......

Hi, I know this game is old, but this and "OMD 3" need to limit the frames of the cinematics and the menus to a value set by the player. Every time I go through those 2 I get +1400FPS and the power consumption is increased to the limit. In the long term this might damage the GPU of the players. And yes, OMD 3 has an option to limit the FPS, but it doesn't work with the cinematics or the menus either....
