NEW VERSION OF THE COMMUNITY PATCH

Posted on 11/03/2024 by admin

Thanks to our Discord and Forum member, Deltwin there is an updated community
patch which fixes several bugs and issues. Link is same as before on the
downloads page, just the file has been updated. The download file is password
protected – the password is listed on the downloads page.

Deltwin also hosts a full time game server and this patch will be required to be
able to play on his multiplayer server. It does not affect single player save
games, your existing saves from the previous patch will work on this version.

NEW PERMANENT MULTIPLAYER SERVER

Posted on 24/02/2024 by admin

Thanks to our forum and Discord member, Deltwin he is hosting a Drakan
multiplayer server which can host up to 60 players and is running 24/7. You will
need the community patch installed on your copy of Drakan (game version should
show 377/447 if installed) for you to be able to connect. You will also need the
updated multiplayer map pack; both are available on the downloads page. The
server lists automatically in the in-game server browser after about 10 seconds.
You can check the server status at Drakan Serverlist :: 333networks masterserver
at any time. If you would like any specific maps or want to know when to play
and organise matches please join our Discord server.

On a side note I have re-enabled forum registration but it requires admin
approval for account activation. I do not get time to check the forum regularly
but I will check once a day at least. If all goes well we might re-activate the
forum fully or consider moving to a new platform using Zenforo.

DRAKAN COMIC (GERMAN)

Posted on 05/01/2024 by admin

XTX from our discord server has shared high quality scans of the Drakan Comic
which released in Germany. Unfortunately it wasn’t translated into other
languages but if you want to view the comic it can be downloaded below. It’s
around 55Mb in size and is in the PDF format.

CLARIFICATION OF THE FORUM CLOSURE PLAN

Posted on 24/12/2023 by admin

As it’s drawing close to the end of the year and the deadline for forum closure
I have decided to clarify exactly what is closing as there is some confusion as
to if it’s the whole forum or just the BoD section.

Here is what has / will happen:-

The whole forum (Drakan and BoD) is now members only. No new members can
register but existing members can still post and contribute.
The BoD section has been made private so you have to be logged in to view it.
This keeps it hidden from public view but still allows existing members to
participate.

I was going to make the BoD section (not the Drakan and general forum) read only
at the end of the year. I have decided to extend this by 6 months unless I get
further trouble from our Chinese scamming friend. An email has been sent out to
all members.

Please join our discord server (link above) which is where the Drakan community
is the most active.

The main website isn’t going anywhere at the moment and will continue as-is.

Finally, the dedicated multiplayer server will be running over the Xmas and New
Year period so we can play some multiplayer together and catch up on old times.
Don’t forget to install the community patch and the MP pack update.

Have a good Xmas and New Year everyone!

DEDICATED SERVER RETIREMENT

Posted on 15/02/2022 by admin

Hi guys the multiplayer dedicated server has been retired as its not economical
to keep it going anymore. Hardly anyone plays the game now and to have a PC sat
there 24/7 wasting electricity isn’t viable. Furthermore there are constant
issues with windows 10 and now it keeps dropping off the network. I’ve tried to
fix it but short of a total reinstall I’m stumped at what else I can do. It just
seems to be a constant stream of issues. I’m sorry but it’s not worth my time
and money investing in it further.

However if you have your game patched with the community patch you can host a
game and it will still register with the master server. Other players will be
able to see your server via the in game browser. If you have any questions about
that please visit our discord server. Link in the menu bar above.

COMMUNITY PATCH UPDATE

Posted on 24/09/2021 by admin

I have changed the community patch installer to be packaged inside a password
protected .zip file as Microsoft Smartscreen filter sees the file as malware and
prevents downloading the file. I have submitted the file to Microsoft to be
removed from their database but they refused. The patch is being recognised as
malware because it is not a signed application but as this is community made
this isn’t really possible to get it signed. Other AV companies have removed it
from their blacklists but Microsoft refuse to budge. The password for the
community patch .zip is arokh.

BEWARE OF PIRATED VERSIONS OF THE GAME

Posted on 14/09/2021 by admin

Just a quick heads up. As you all know this game is no longer being sold and
copies are only generally available on eBay or if you are lucky second hand game
stores. The developer; Surreal Software are defunct but the game is still owned
by Sony and therefore still copyrighted. It is not abandonware and sites hosting
the game for download are doing so illegally. However some players have resorted
to downloading from dodgy websites and we can confirm that the version that is
on myabandonware does NOT work so if you have tried to get this working you will
find that some files are missing and some are much larger in file sizes than the
original legitimate files. Alarm bells should be ringing there!

Unfortunately the only way to get Drakan OOTF is keep hunting on eBay. Beware
copies tend to sell for silly money! Drakan: TAG is more readily available
though and is easier to find.

UPDATED LINKS ON THE DOWNLOADS PAGE

Posted on 28/07/2021 by admin

I’ve been through the site and updated any dead / broken links as a forum user
mentioned that the link to download single player maps no longer works. I have
updated this and they are also available from the drop down menu (hover over
Order of the Flame) also I have updated the description of the Community Patch
which replaces the 445 patch enabling game compatibility with Windows 10 amongst
many other fixes. This also installs a selection of single player and multi
player maps. Current supported languages are English, German and Spanish. Thanks
to our Discord members for the German and Spanish translations.

UPDATED MAP PACK, TOURNAMENT AND OTHER THINGS

Posted on 18/06/2021 by admin

Yangez93 has made some changes to the “Bloodland” map which had some bugs which
caused a game crash. This has now been fixed and added to the map pack so if you
find the game server is running this map you will need to update your player
made map pack by downloading it from the downloads page.

Secondly there is a Drakan tournament taking place this weekend (19-20th June
2021) where three ground maps are played on the 18th followed by three air maps
on the 19th. For more information please join our discord server if you want to
take part.

Thirdly, this website has been blacklisted again for hosting malicious files; as
some of you know MalwareBytes and other anti malware software incorrectly
identify the game files as malware. This has caused the site to be de-listed
from Google and blacklisted by several web browser protection software. So if
you have McAfee or MalwareBytes browser guard enabled you won’t be able to
download any files from this site. Please disable or bypass it until this issue
is resolved. You can also download the map pack from our discord server if
needed.

Lastly the comments now work properly. This was because of a change in WordPress
since version 5.5 causing older themes to not display the comments even though
they are enabled. A simple line of code change in the site theme was required
and all working now.

SITE TAKEDOWN ORDER ISSUED

Posted on 27/11/2020 by admin

I received a takedown order notice for this site as it was identified as
spreading malware. It turned out to be a few files (the Drakan 10th anniversary
patch and the memory allocation tweak patch) that have been on this site since
2013. However several antivirus programs now identify these files as viruses /
malware and as no-one has taken any notice and is linking directly to files on
this server it is been mis-identified as a malware host. Someone has been
emailing with a direct link to the memory allocation patch and it has been found
on several foreign forums.

I have removed these two files even though they are identified as false
positives. I can understand why though as they alter the memory location where
the .exe files are stored. They are mostly obsolete now anyway so it’s no real
big issue but I will be going through the logs and seeing which files are being
directly linked to and will try and stop this from happening. This will
obviously stop people downloading any game patches directly from links in
discord etc so moderators please direct users to the downloads page on this site
rather than the files themselves.

This should prevent the site from being taken offline but if the site disappears
you know why. If this does happen I will appeal the decision.
