[DotEXE]

One of the buggiest Dungeons and Dragons games ever made has been given a second chance. PC Gamer reports that SNEG has re-released Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor on Steam and GOG, and the notorious bugs from 2001 seem to be gone in the opening hours tested

The original release was infamous for corrupting save files, and in some cases deleting system files when uninstalled. Those problems made it one of the most notorious launches of its era

The new version adds widescreen support, controller support, adjustable combat speed, tooltips and an action bar. Wizards, halflings and gnomes still cannot be played, just as in the original

No price was given in the article. SNEG has been bringing back several classic PC games in playable form

Restoring a broken game so people can finally enjoy it as intended is great for preservation. Modern conveniences like adjustable combat speed help old games feel less sluggish. Fans of classic D&D games now have another option to explore

Controller support for an old PC RPG is a nice surprise. Playing on a Steam Deck would be ideal. Handhelds suit slower games. Good timing for this release. Cosy RPG nights ahead
