New Patch = New Bug (and new opinions)... and new fix (July 7)

[Orion Glow]

after new patch (today fix) the stage game its TOTAL RANDOM (like original cabinet version)! the game start (now) always with this sequence:
1) home, sweet, home
2) fire ropes
3) flyng barding
4) underground river
5) fire ropes
and al rest of stage its always wrong!!

i tryed all game options but, i cant to play all full game in right stage sequance

in OLD version, and in FIRST HD VERSION i played less problem... now, its total changed!

i wanna to play again full story in one game, no random stage!

[APONVS]

Same problem here. Whenever I restart the game and I select "continue" playing in Home Mode the game restarts from last scene, but randomizing the next one just like I was playing in Arcade Mode.

Can't play in Home Mode

I'd like to play in Home Mode. I start a new game and everything works fine, but whenever I quit and restart the game it keeps from the last scene, but randomizing the next one at every death just like I was playing in Arcade Mode. Is this an issue born with last patch or something that have been always existing?

[Orion Glow]

yes. this last fix + last HD upgrade has total changed the gameplay!!
the game must be with this options:

option 1: play original arcade version (NO CABINET ON SCREEN) with random stage after first stage (home sweet home) and IF DIE, you restart same stage, and NO new arrows/button on screen (this was gameplay in original cabinet version... i played this 25 years ago ^^)

option 2: play FULL GAME: all game in RIGHT sequenze, if you die, you RESTART SAME STAGE

+ extra options:
1) play easy: with new on screen arrows/button (i really dont like this news om screen!)
2) play normal (or original): no arrows/button on screen
3) play HARD: no light direction, no sound
4) Random stage if die: ON/OFF (not avaible with option 2)

in this days, i played again to Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II and the games is PERFERCT!! a little arrow on 4 side of the screen and sword or pistol in middle!! its perfect. Why the Digital Leisure done this new choise with new arrows/botton always VISIBLE on screen???
i asking for ROLL BACK to old arrows system (like Space Ace)!!

Yeah this is clear, I set all those options when I start a new game, but when I close and run again the app it's like I never set them, the game just ignore them and resumes like I was playing in arcade mode.

Thanks for the bug details. We've corrected them on today's update (July 7).

[Orion Glow]

ok... i tested all, and i see all ok.... so:

1) resolution video: if Digital Laisure can add in menu screen any resolution option, we solved full screen/16:9 problem, if no, this is alternative solution:

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Digital Leisure\Dragon's Lair and change
Screenmanager Resolution Height_h2627697771 to 438 (1080)
Screenmanager Resolution Width_h182942802 to 780 (1920)
(i dont use any program!! i change numbers manually)

i dont like to open sistem registry, but... now i can to play 16:9 (1920x1080) full screen (i got Monitor ASUS 24")
i to prefer if Digital Leisure, try to found a solution with another fix

2) stage sequence now fixed!! i playng now all stage in right sequence, and i tested "continue/quit" botton... fixed too!

3) i teset my wired 360 controller... perfect!! no problem

4) i asking again for "move/remove" this new arrows/button in the middle of the screen PERMA VISIBLE during the game. its to much invasive... its like to play any other game (doom, prey, far cry, COD) and for all gameplay always to see controller icons!!
i asking for to return to OLD Dragon's Lair arrow/button sistem... you see icon ONLY on the side of the screen and ONLY when "is the moment" (i repit), like Space Ace, and Dragon's Lair II in this moment!!

Thk much

ahh i forgotten!!
THK MUCH to Digital Leisure for a FREE upgrade HD version!! from same time, we must PAY/BUY AGAIN any old game remastered in HD; Digital Leisure offering to us this upgrade TOTAL FREE.
THK!

they look like they are for a release on mobile devices ...
the devs do not care about classic gaming ...
they should keep it simple and listen more to infos/featurerequests/changerequests like these

For me it is bugging out big time! I've got a high score that started out at 67x,xxx and it is radomly going up a few 10K and then now it is going down smmoothly to 200,000 but every now and again it adds 10K. The game's screen is frozen otherwise.
The score counted downt to 0 and then started over again with 999,999 going down!

This is the 2nd time I've need to kill it from the Task Bar. The buttons along the bottom are still reacting but nothing is taking my to a menu to start over or move me on to the next screen. This game is really screwed up and it is back to an Alpha version.

Please fix!

[sybuur]

It is 'freezing' every time I sucessfully pass the mud men area.

[Bodkins(UK)]

Well having waited for the full screen issue to resolve ive now TRIED to play through the game. (validated the files to fix Grr after all that)

During one game The score went nuts and froze the game continingly adding and subtracting points on a frozen screen.

Halfway through the mudmen volcanic part the game suddenly jumped and started the lizard king. Then Froze at the end.

Next play through - no points gained- no lifes shown.

Next playthrough Froze on the roof collapsing area-

Basically - the game is broke... Uncompletable without some ugly error stopping play!

Note each case was a new game not a Continue game.. Its broke.

I have the same problem (the game freezes after mud men scene) after a little patch that was installed yesterday July 26th

[giovygaly]

My daughter loves this game and is crying....

[Orion Glow]

Digital Leisure following this thread. wait for new fix, or try to by moore precise for your problem

Same with me.

I have also notived that the timing in the game is inconstant at times. Moves that were just successful can at other playthorughs kill me. (???)

Also seems like the end of every scene is clipped a little.

[Dirk_The_Daring]

Digital Leisure - what on earth have you done to the timing? I'm grateful for the extras and the fact that you've returned to the game, but I'd genuinely prefer to roll back to the older version. This feels like a poor port now. Can you fix it?
