1. Drop the d3d8.dll file into each Legacy of Kain series game directory on Steam or GoG.
2. For Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver download and extract the folder Soul Reaver 1 Fix.
3. Enjoy
# If you experience crashes at some points,that means the game requires CPU core affinity to be set via Task Manager for every session:
0. Alt+Tab out of the running game for example Blood Omen
1. Open Windows Task Manager using search.
2. Find for example the bo2.exe process for the application by Right-click on its task and press Go to process/details.
3. Right-click on the process and select Set affinity.
4. Deselect all other CPU cores than the ones the process should be allowed to run on. If you want to prevent the process from using Intel's Hyper-Threading (HT) or AMD's Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) CPU cores then deselect all odd CPU cores (so 1, 3, 5, 7, etc).
5. Click OK to apply the change. It will take effect immediately.
6. Repeat each time you launch the problematic Legacy Of Kain series games to avoid crashes

NB! Update,removed the old fix for Soul Reaver 1 due to the file being too big to download and some copyright issues with the file winplay.dll and other files related to the Soul Reaver 1 Patch.

How do I download the dll? This is why I hate github, it's always such a chore to download from that bloody site.

regulardracula Thank you for the great feedback! Try whatever works best for your scenario, currently the only modern port that is available is Blood Omen on GOG.

Yo, thank you so much for this fix and guide! I love this series very much and have recently wanted to playthrough them all on PC again :) does this allow for the use of a modern controller like XBONE or PS4/5? or should I bust out the ol' faithful Logitech dual action controller??
