@For newbie: Don't forget crack before launching the game (otherwise you will get the "no license" error). By doing one of the following:
Method 1: before installing the game, check the following box:
Method 2: or after installing the game, open the iso file, copy everything in the "RUNE" folder, then paste them to where you installed the game, enjoy ;) (see tutorial image here if you still dont know: https://igg-games.com/how-885614657-to-install-game-and-update.html)
To ALL those having "slow save issues" THIS IS FOR YOU! (and possible character deletion/save location if you wish!)
first things first, change the location of where this game is. (do not leave it where its downloaded, and change the folder name to DD2) should look like "F/GAMES/Dragons Dogma 2" nothing more! this means to create a folder, copy its content from "game" folder and paste it into DD2 do not leave the folder called "game" in there!
Right Click the runtime_il2cpp (the launcher icon) and hit properties, then compatibility, next select "change settings for all users" and select RUN as ADMIN hit APPLY! (so it always runs as admin, you can also hit create desktop shortcut after that).
go into your firewall settings, (Microsoft firewall will be FINE) and add an outbound block to "runtime_il2cpp" (block all 3 options for private, etc) name it whatever you wish!
go into in game settings & disable its "want" to connect to NETWORK options!
Save data is located in C:\Users\PCNAME\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\2054970\remote\win64_save
this will fix the "SLOW SAVE" issues, and WILL allow re-creating of characters! ( if you do remove the save files, you start over as far as i can tell!) but it indeed will delete your character to allow a fresh start!
a last "hail mary attempt" would be to turn off the network to the PC all together. but, this should work if you followed instructions correctly. Do not have steam running while playing this as steam will try to hook this and create confusion on where this is supposed to save. game MUST be installed on an SSD preferred NVME!
folder location should be similar to mine. can be different drive letter etc, but no more than 2/3 folder entries until DD2 exe is seen! ignore the name of "DD2 it is RUNETIME" just renamed for cheatengine use. DD22 is the original DD2 exe. image for folder pathing!
adding images incase others cant follow written directions (forgive me IGG and fast comments for the large influx of images!)
starting your firewall blocking AFTER changing folder pathing to proper pathing!
follow RED ARROW! Hit PROGRAM then NEXT
next hit "browse" and go to where you made that NEW folder location where your DD2 and RUNTIME exe are located (select the runtimeil2 exe) then hit next
now select BLOCK CONNECTION per RED ARROW then hit NEXT
now select private, domain, and public (yes ALL 3) bc if your needing this then you probably dont know what kind of network your on. then hit NEXT!
now in the name box important PAY ATTENTION name it "WHATEVER YOU WANT" (do not ask me what to name it bc you can name it donkey kong, it doesnt matter! name it whatever you want!) then hit FINISH your done you should have quicker save time!
while it may be different, it should be the same! (you could just turn off your internet to the pc and it "should" do the same thing.
re-edit- i have to assume to get this going, you would need to have the game running to have its process show up. if all else fails adding the rule in microsoft firewall should still work even if avast takes priority. since microsoft is at a base/kernel level.
Hi, I moved the game to my second NVMe drive and into a shorter-named folder, as you suggested above. Usually, I keep games in their cracked folders, but this change did the trick—instant saving! Thank you so much for your help.
changing the games folder location is what did the trick. you could have moved it to that same NVME drive and been fine. (i moved mine from its downloaded location, to the location shown) which is the same drive (as my downloaded cracked games go to this 2tb drive) since it is on "exclusions" in my AV software to save other headaches.
It was known from the start that this game was only going to have one single save slot so yeah, if you want to start fresh you have to delete your save
you dont state stuff alot then have people question you on "where did my game play progress go" do you?? i mention this just for those who "delete this" after playing for hours or longer and have been in game for a while. to which will delete that character, and WHAM its gone.
BUT the dev console has a character editing option. (unsure it works, but it is there) amongst alot of other stuff.
there is a way better console to use. go into pause menu, settings, options, debug, select third option down it has ALL ITEMS in the game. (except RC) thats the only thing i could not find. even has the special RC items that the dude in the main castle area sells.
This is very confused. After extracting we got game folder name "game" do you suggest we change "game" to DD2 or Dragon Dogma 2 (full spelling words) or create another folder then name it DD2 or Dragon Dogma 2 (full spelling words) then put "game" folder in that new folder?
F5+F6 on keyboard and mouse or controller is L3+R3 to open the developers debug menu.
once that is open search through it, find "RayTracing" turn it (OFF) re start the game to take effect. turn off all ray tracing options the dev console has. that will increase the FPS some, there are other settings inside the dev console that "decrease NPC spawns, etc. (i dont know the name of those however) as i have beat this and have not played in well over a weeks time. (stalker 2 has had my attention to be honest).
this ran great on my PC at maxed out settings. So i didnt mess with much. i do know when i turned on RT thru the dev console compared to OFF it made the game nearly unplayable. your just going to have to mess around with "off, on" settings until you find something that helps you.
good game no problems at all so far , i have around 8 hours in , and i run it as admin , no problems with saves so far like some people report , fast loading times and no stuttering , but i dont play on a laptop like alot of ppl do , im on a 3090 and i have it on my c drive samsung 990 pro with 64 gb ddr5 ram but no problems so far at all everything is nice and smooth
without a doubt is where its at... check it (the ini says local) but that isnt where it goes... the "steam ID" is DD2... if your save is going to somewhere else, did you change the ini file to have it go somewhere else??
Nope, not at all, to me it's always gone to the local_saves folder that's in the game's install folder. Theo only ini I have in my install folder is the config ini. The only thing I did was download the game from here, nothing else. I don't think I even have the goldberg steam emu since a crack wouldn't be needed for this build right?
wrong, open the INI up. (check where this originated from) its 100% goldberg emu runnin this lol. check that "save location" bc it would be pretty strange if you did have it in local instead. (goldberg default is where this is directed too in the INI file) i checked pretty hard. but you gotta know a bit about the emu from goldberg to begin with.. i do a bit of cracking, and sending in here from time to time. edit- i have a local save location for Dragons Dogma Dark Arisin (which i thought was this at first). is that something your possibly doing? if its really there, show it. and show that config ini i shared please (its in the portable game folder where you launch from). (show it in a photo/screenshot)
here are two images from the emu itself. note that GSESAVES is "goldberg steam emu" hence the name in the directory location i mentioned a bit ago. (a few hours i guess now).
why? i HAVE RE4 on steam. tried the re4 "DENUVOLESS" and game ran the EXACT, SAME, with the EXACT SAME SETTINGS.
and people getting this info based off a "VIDEO." ohkay. and ive played games on steam that have "DENUVO" and still runs at 60fps, no issues! yall buncha sheep. maybe try upgrading your cpu and getting parts from actual, legit sites, and properly install, the parts.
I've have actually played lots of denuvo games with and without and I usually get a boost when it is completely removed. It all depends on the optimization. Just because RE4 wasnt too bad on your end, it doesn't mean "denuvo doesnt exist." Think before you call people sheep with such a bootlicking retarded statement.
what boost? a 4 fps barely noticeable frame 60 to 65? increase? when the games locked at 60fps or 120fps oh whao. bootlicking? im sorry if i have a better PC or have it better installed than yours. im sorry if your running a "linux PC/Laptop" and cant play any games without having to throw a tantrum on "GAME RUNS LIKE TRASH ON MY 900RTX 8GB 100G STORAGE AND ITS FLAGGING MY ANTIVIRUS." or your imaginary "509000 RTX MSI 500GB 90k DUAL WIDESCREEN, still cant run this game properly, FIX YOUR GAME CRAPCOM"
Yeah, no, unless you have a mystical, non existent PC that only YOU have then you're just spreading misinformation and being a cunt for no reason whatsoever. Or maybe you're being a cunt because you want to be a cunt, hard to say really. Regardless, you're wrong and there's more than enough evidence of that online
Some games have problems with Denuvo, many games haven't. RE7 was one of those games with problems, not RE4.
And it also depends on your PC. For example if you have a weak CPU, you can run into FPS drops with Denuvo, but if you have a good CPU you won't notice it.
In the case of DD2, its very CPU intensive and his 9700X might spit out a few more FPS without Denuvo. But if you have a 9800X3D or a weaker GPU that can't deliver much FPS, you might not notice...
I'm a patient gamer, and an avid fan of the dogma saga, I couldn't play this game cuz it was a stutter fest with denuvo, now is running perfect, no stutter, no frame drops. You are truly oblivious if you can't see that.
Yeah, no, don't compare different games because each game is a different case. This game ran like complete ASS when Denuvo was active, no matter what settings you had and no matter what machine you had, it was the number 1 complaint. Now? Now it runs perfectly. Denuvo DOES make a difference, sometimes a small one, sometimes a huge one
game ran just fine. as on this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WowmvPny9J4 should really stop replying back to me, when we clearly wont or see eye to eye on ANYTHING. good day.
because it RUNS the same as it does without. stop being a shee -nevermind. @Bowie if your gonna insult like a 13 year old and BLOCK? go to reddit. unless you already got banned from there for ban evasion.
Why would I go to that place and give you the home file advantage? Nah I think I'll stick to this place and continue to call out your bullshit misinformation spreading and double standards
Oh so now we CAN use evidence based on videos? Or is it just when said "evidence" benefits you and no one else? And of course we won't see eye to eye, you're spreading misinformation and getting called out on your BS
another proof that denuvo really fucked up the performance recent reviews mentions the fps got a massive difference that boost might quite help with the engine since it doesnt get along well with open world games
Perhaps, your pc configuration are different from other people, but FYI, anything that is running heavy in the background will cause slowdowns and make any game visibly underperform no matter how expensive your pc is, some more noticeable than others.
The first pirated version doesn't work i tried it. The game got optimized, because I tested it on this exact PC that first pirated version, since it's the only PC I've had since 2021, and the game didn't even give me 10 FPS with all the graphics on minimum and 720p. And now the game works perfectly for me; I haven't had any lag or stuttering, nothing. Everything has been running smoothly for me.
Yo, is this the same case as AC Mirage? It's a debug build that was leaked? EDIT: Ok, yeah. it's the same situation. However this leaked version is apparently super buggy and even has game breaking bugs that have since been patched so consume at your own risk
it runs perfectly; the optimization is amazing (>w<) poi!!
It's nothing like the first pirated version of this game which was simply dog shit, The optimization was the worst, The game wasn't even giving me 10 FPS
These two and a half years of updates worked wonders
The game runs for me with a combination of medium and high graphics settings, reaching 60FPS and 1080P. Capcom literally did witchcraft with this engine to achieve that, on my filthy peasant graphics card D:!!! .......................................... My PC is a i5 11400 GTX 1650 Super 16GB RAM DDR 4 3200 MHz game installed on an SSD
............................................ Thank you so much for the game and I'm ready to no life this game de chu!!!
i dunno bro, seems like your BARELY, able to run this game on low. and if you put it on ultra or even high, your cpu will crash or give you 20fps. and dont seem like your able to enable frame gen/ray tracing.
naaaa fam Everything I'm saying is the truth ....................................... I've already been playing for more than 3 hours ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ........................................... And these are the graphics settings I'm using ........................................................... The game is running smoothly for me, 40 to 60 fps 1080P And if you don't believe me, I could invite you to my Discord and stream it for you to see with your own eyes.
I set it to 720p and windowed mode to take the screenshots So that the messages on this page would be visible, and not just the screenshot from the game.
pretty sure your PC sounds like a PS4, running loud or fans spinning really loud, after an hour or less.
and as i thought, you cant even run tracing.
i guess the day you stop making comments, is the day you broke your own computer, because you keep on pushing it more than it can perform, and play games that it obviously cant handle.
good luck getting or replacing parts at this day age.
It bothers you so much to be wrong that you even blind your self to look at the temperatures shown on the screenshots; my GPU stays at 45 to 50 degrees Celsius, and ma CPU at 30 Celsius my PC is chilling mate
do comeback after you made a video of your "i can play with no issues." by no issues, by the way, is; you get no stutters, everything's constant 60fps from open world to boss fights to villages, you can load the game from any slot.
have you heard of the old saying A picture is worth a thousand words the other fella roasted your sorry ass not one but more than one at this point whatever shit you type is now pointless kid
I see a problem here. You push your standards on others, like playing 60fps would be the bare minimum considered as "no issues", and that's far from reality, and more in a game like this.
Playing 1080p 30fps locked is quite realistic for a 7-8 years old GPU. Again, I don't need RayCrap, 2160p or 60fps, but that's my standard and it should be totally valid as yours, which means it is understood as "no issues".
If you want to spend more money on a GPU just to have more numbers, it's totally understandable, I do not, because I do not need it and I will enjoy the game the same way as you will.
In my case, I prefer to keep my graphic card temperature low, so even if i can play at higher FPS, I lock my games to 30 FPS. Normally, that's all it takes to lose up to 10 degrees Celsius, sometimes a little more
I don't know how to do it and I'm too lazy to do it. Like I said, my offer is to invite you to my Discord and do a stream so you can watch, or maybe you can invite me to your Discord. and u da wierdo de chu
well recently you said, "EDIT: Ok, yeah. it's the same situation. However this leaked version is apparently super buggy and even has game breaking bugs that have since been patched so consume at your own risk"
plus no dlcs apparently, and extremely poor optimization, and possible for people to encounter all sorts of bugs and issues if unlucky or probably guaranteed and just unnoticed/ignored, etc...
a few posts down guy even posted where they put the update notes FirstAid81 FULL UPDATE HISTORY (up until November 16th 2024)
(Some being 1 the earliest and most recent Reduce Crashing, 4 times you could get stuck + 2 where pawn could, cpu overload, bugged quests from enemies reviving - Guardian Gigantus quest becoming impossible after playing the cinematic - Fixed issues that prevented progression in some quests, and of course others like making pawns function ie not losing ability to speak outside combat - not falling off cliffs - looting when told to loot).
Although it is sadly doubtful there will ever be a newer cracked version, so as you also said I think at some point, treating it like a demo/beta could be good. Though might still be best to just play 1st one maybe mod it up, and for certain is better, if person some how has never played 1st one.
I played the first one, just never beat it because of some gameplay annoyances it has. I'm mainly using this version as a stress test to see how well my current rig can handle it and honestly, even though it reports ram usage in the red it runs really REALLY good for me
I was going from reports that other players had. I've played for around 10-11 hours now and no bugs presented themselves and no crashes either. Optimization I can't speak for since my PC isn't exactly top. I will say though that it's playable. Saving and loading takes a long time and sometimes autosave fails to save but manual saving never failed for me. Also keep in mind those bugs won't manifest 100% of the times. You can play the entire game and never see a single bug. Doesn't mean they don't exist, just that they didn't trigger
I mean 10-11 hours does not seem long for this type of game, might have spent a few on just loading and character + pawn creation :D
Did you even do Guardian Gigantus quest or have a quest get stuck on progression (they didn't name all of those ones) as those are really big sounding ones that again they said they Had to fix.
So far no, I haven't gotten stuck on any quest whatsoever. And I didn't spend much on character creation honestly, at this point there's tons of character creation guides online, I just copied one of those and went with a default pawn cause I really don't care what my pawn looks like
again you "Awwwww man you can't make child characters in this game anymore, it was one of the best features in the first one!"
So kind of surprised granted that more of a reason to not bother with it as much then for it. But it was more of a joke as many people do tend to spend a long time with character creators.
Well keep eye out for stuck quests since patch notes said they had to fix them, especially main quest Guardian Gigantus, although a quick google seems to say basically he just a massive but optional boss when you first go to a volcanic island where cutscene stops the door trigger permentally keeping him inaccessible.
Remember fellas, there's the ending where ya "set on the throne" and then theres another where ya ACTUALLY encounter The Dragons DOGMA. (world turns RED) if you get there, go to all the "RED" points on the map and defeat all those dragons. (do so before your pawn has entirely been killed off) BEST ENDING i've ever seen. 9/10 game in my opinion. have not done all there is to do didn even see the elven place until i did the "dogma" part of the game so i could only upgrade to 3 lvls for equipment... shit i gotta replay it now.
*youll know you got the best ending if you save the princes, fix the "special sword", save your pawn, defeat all dragon spawns, defy the "mfr who pretends to help you the entire game". and *you get to the throne room, speak to the "shadow person" twice, kill yourself with special sword, then do all the "red points of interest"... (in my opinion, thats the best ending. pretty sure it is). since the "main" world your from, is saved.
I too hope they release a playable 'Persona3Reload' soon but ifit takes long enough...I myself am planning towait atleast till a SwItcH2 version launches...I advice you doas you may find peace in...but maybe you can spend the days waiting while playing "PerSoNa5RoYal"or ShiNMeGamiTenSei5VeNgeNcE(Switch emulation)....or atbest Metaphor ReFantazio(From This site) if you like atlus production and can bear towaitwhile savouring the similiar cousine made bythe same chefs witha nostalgic aftertaste nontheless with/out less investment financialy one way orthe other ..instead of counting the days till a king or queen may present us witha possible solution to this crisis(Don't do this mistake like I and many other's have done beforeand are still doing)...till then ...I leave this info hear...go onfindwhatyouneed...
SET SAIL TO THE GRAND REDdit LINE..... IT'S ALL THERE... IF.. YOU CAN FIND IT.... IT'S YOUR TREASURE...
there's no limit to what us privateers can achieve......
they'll be in your public appdata directory. But be advised, they have a player id baked in, so if you're trying to move one save from say the last version to this, or from this to a another version, unless that version has the same steamid, it won't see your save files. This was a very sad discovery.
Ou okay ohh this one is by RUNE my beloved+i just f love it here, okay lets try it and see how shitty it runs lol+ kill some time before Dawnwalker drops.
Review: I tested the Goldberg version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 to get a sneak peek before buying. What is advertised as a “working version” is, in reality, extremely unstable.
Crashes right in the main menu: The RE Engine (runtime_il2cpp) crashes during the initialization of the MainScene. Thread logs show shader bindings and asset streaming failing to load correctly.
Save system is broken: Autosaves hang for several minutes, manual saves overlap, causing race conditions. The official Steam version handles all these threads cleanly and safely.
Shader cache & VRAM issues: Even with 12 GB VRAM on an RTX 4070 Super and 64 GB RAM, the game remains unstable. The engine attempts to compile missing or corrupted shaders, which regularly fails in the cracked build.
False claims from the uploader: Anyone claiming “it works fine for me” ignores that essential parts of Steam APIs, cloud emulation, and asset checks are missing. Every user of this version will sooner or later encounter runtime_il2cpp crashes.
Conclusion: If you want to actually play Dragon’s Dogma 2, the official Steam version is the only stable option. This crack is at best a very limited trial; in reality, it is unplayable.
Bonus: The game is currently available on Steam for only €15, so there’s literally no reason to rely on this broken crack.
Source: CrashDump logs (runtime_il2cpp), main menu binding failures, save thread blocking. Test hardware: i9-14xxx, 64 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Super 12 GB VRAM.
i played 70hr's give or take of this, and beat the entire thing doing the ending a few times over actually.. its an early dev build, stable its not. but it works great for free!
There is a BETTER debug menu in "OPTIONS" then "DEBUG" select the third option down on the list once your in there.
has money, items, everything! EXCEPT RC and its easier to use! only way to get out of it is ESCAP on your keyboard. i couldn figure out how to get out of it on controller. EDIT- O is back or whatever O is on Xbox controller since i use a ps4 controller!
from my understanding, what your seeing in the "second" row for "ALL" is all vocations weapons, and armor selections. (what the game has that you would normally have to hunt down right at the click of a button) which is the only thing i didnt really use. "heaven's blade" is the best weapon i found (which is at the true dogma ending) since the false ending is you "setting on a throne watching credits role". (talk to the spirit dude, then kill yourself when you re-battle the dragon) if you wanna get to a "dogma type world" by far best ending ive seen in a game. note- my pawn was saved from the (idk what its called) but it turns them against you and they try to kill you and the party) which is why i believe mine was different than usual. game has several endings form what i can gather.
Ah, I see, so it can't actually unlock the vocations, guess I'l have to hunt those down, I'm sure there's guides I can find. Sides I already know what vocation I'm going for so it should be easier. But then again right now my attention is focused on Blasphemous
i have all vocations you can get. not sure if i just did the stuff i was supposed to do to get them. or i got lucky. (did not see elven place until after the real dogma stuff started) so i didnt even unlock the 4th upgrade. didn know there was until i looked it up for sure have all vocations tho. from "helping the right people" i suppose. but i still stuck with thief in the end. that shadow ability is OP other than stamina drain... impossible to get it while its active.
Yep, that's how you unlock advanced vocations, by doing certain side quests for certain people. Which honestly is a big step down from the first game since in the first game you could unlock advanced vocations whenever, you just needed RCP I believe
1000G, 1G are money. RC (i have not checked) i have done both "true endings" finishing the second now. RC is something in abundance that i honestly never checked to manipulate. im playing stalker 2 right now. but, ill be back on DD2 sometime shortly. if i find it, ill let you know.
F5+F6 will enter debug mode (I suck with it and ignore it largely but can cheat with it) press esc go to debug in options 3rd one down (can spawn any item including rift crystal clusters)
And the Absolute one simplified that Craxton said- issues with long saving times Solution(do the following while the game is not running), go to search bar, search control panel, go to system & security, then Windows defender firewall, then advanced settings. In both inbound rules and outbound rules delete any Dragon's Dogma 2 named ones. Then in both inbound and outbound rules create a rule(by selecting "new rule" in the right side of the window), select program, then browse and find the game folder, select the game's .exe file, after that choose to block all access.
Also supposeivly this helps make it run better idk did it once (have to do it every time you run it) did not notice much difference -> open task manager details find game task (it's the exe name, so runtime yadada something) right click set affinity disable CPU 0 ok, close
Also suggest the mod that helps it run better (just auto sets computer to give it priority sort of thing)
Also read this on a steam comment never looked into if related but figured would add- Additionally it might help you to not crash if you go into "steam_settings" folder, open with notepad file "configs.overlay.ini" and change "enable_experimental_overlay=1" into "enable_experimental_overlay=0".
personally growing very bored of game and getting tired of hearing same 3 lines non stop from pawns and 3 from every npc that I am going to already quit it soon but figured this might help others.
are you running DD2 exe or did you read the "READ.ME" file to know what to run? try this
Open "steam_settings" folder in the game directory, and then open "configs.overlay.ini" ,and change "enable_experiental_overlay=1" to "enable_experiental_overlay=0". and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
you can also try this
Open game directory, open "config.ini", change DX12 to DX11, and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply). (This method isnt a guarantee, but worth a shot if nothing else). you should also make sure your drivers (C++, net framework, GPU drivers) are all updated. make 100% sure your running the game as ADMIN (right click, hit "properties" hit compatibility, then hit change for all users then select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" hit apply.
yes, it was opening the correct .exe, this was happening in the character creator when I took too long to create, but after starting the game it didn't happen again
EDIT- NVM they all naked fresh spawns... if you hold L2 or R2 while in the debug menu you can use the D-PAD to navigate etc. (not found a way to edit money bc "dummy money" doesnt work... but most the other stuff does! KB&M is F5+F6 together controller R3+L3 edit 2- whatever option that has an ON/OFF mode, if you switch it, switch it back before going back into the game. Ray trace enabling does add the option in the menu (it wasnt there for me prior even tho i have a 4070ti) not sure it really does anything bc im on max settings at 4k hitting 60fps in the "castle area" near the first 30/60min of the game. but again, if you switch "ALLNPCNUDE" to on switch it back lmao... kept crashing for me. you can boot the game, and go right into the menu and switch it off. may have been on my end. but this is a warning just in case.
Yoooo... i played around with the "dev console" thats built in. (on controller press L3 and R3 together to toggle on and off)
edit 3- i found a script that works. nexus mods (uses cheat engine) gotta change the name of the exe you start etc. but i have 5mil gold now?
Definitely not, Here's a snapshot, not sure what button I hit but now it's mostly in English... there seems to be 37 pages (e.g. System, Game, Character, Camera, AI, NPC, Quest... etc)
Have you tried to run the game ? I had a similar behavior on Bladur's Gate 3, my CPU and vents would ramp up like crazy in the main menu, but once in game it stabilized.
the optimization on this game it's crazy. outside of the starter town its really good 120 FPS (I cap it) 60% CPU usage and 100% on my 6800.... BUT in a town CPU and GPU goes to 50% and the FPS drops to 40s. and yes I use FSR Quality but that doesn't affect the poor optimization at all
Well at least you got some good fps outside of town. I'm no expert and can't help you much, but I know that BG3 had the exact same issue: Perf ramping up in menu, good optimisation in game for most of the part, sudden spike and stutter when you arive in the big town.
So all I can suggest is look up some optimization guide on youtube, the game is out for a while now, so I suppose there is some people that managed to get decent FPS gain from optimizing the option. It's not much but it can always help a bit. As I said I'm just not surprised since BG3 had the same issue and it work more or less the same way.
alright so I played the game for 5 hours only problems rn are the load times (this may verry per user) and the frame drops in town due to probably not having a optimization update other than that I havent seen any major bugs so far going to keep playing to see if I can find some
This plays awsome, I refunded on steam cuz it was a stutter fest. Now that is properly optimized and running flawlessly ill buy it again. When devs do the hard work it shows. I expect the performance stays good in october when the dlc is out
Yeah I already started playing myself, no issues whatsoever in terms of performance on my end. The only Issue I now have is my own indecision when it comes to character creation and vocation XD
even if the performance got a lot better with denuvo fully removed they need to deal with another problem the engine is a total ASS with open world games
What people still don't understand is that Denuvo is not meant to be a permanent protection, it's only meant to protect the game during the first few weeks to a month which is when sales are the most critical. After that, it's up to developers to keep it or not, depending on how well the game sells
some companies are greedy enough to keep it forever if capcom removed denuvo that only means one thing game is no longer a priority they use the money for new projects same thing happened with 7 when village was released, then village with re4 and re4 with requiem
I also think that the gov classifies DRM that has been compromised as not protection so it can not be classified as DRM Same happened to other companies that lost to full removal from reverse engineered tools just like Hypervisor
@Bowie If slapping Goldberg emulation on it counts as a proper crack, then there's billions of crackers out there. Maybe learn what cracking means before you open your mouth.
Also, maybe you should grow up and stop blocking people just so they can't reply to you when you reply to them; that's a 3rd grader move.
ok so ive extracted it, ran the runtime_il2cpp as per instructions and nothing. i get that i need to block something with the firewall using that tutorial you guys put in here right? then it'll work?
should work without needing to add the runtime exe to firewall, itll just save super slow if you dont. If its not running for you currently, make sure your antivirus isnt taking over, or that your PC isnt up to task. (check the usual shit too) like drivers etc. i cant be sure, but on ALOT of other cracked games windows 11 24H2 will not run alot of games. So, if your on 24H2 that could be the issue itself. (again, i dont know that for sure on this title) and ive long since stopped playing. still installed, just not played after beating several times. never the less, this just "ran" off rip for me. (i did not have the slow save issues others mentioned) i just made the tutorial bc it did help fave me 10 seconds. save time was 15seconds, with fix i mentioned made it go down to 1/2 seconds.
Hey guys! I have a problem, although I have the necessary space on my PC (57 GB) and I have deactivated my antivirus, when I extract the files it tells me that there is no of space on the disk (screenshot).. Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong? Texte du lien
as it clearly says, you don't have enough free hard drive space... you need to know, even though windows shows you have 57GB free, it won't let you use 100% of the hard drive size, bro... because if not the hard drive will be damaged soon after. You should free up more space
possible, but not likely since this uses a different name to launch with than retail. however, you could try. (may need to change runtime_(whatever its named)IL2 to DD2 and change the actual DD2 to something else (like DDD2 or DD22 or DENUVO STUCK) whatever you name it too just make sure you know its the one your not supposed to use.
the game wont open for me each time it just shows crash report ( i copy pasted the report ) and then closes, there's a message in the report that says : License Failure.
game directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragons dogma 2\
i blocked both runtime_il2cpp and DD2.exe from firewall
launched the game from runtime_il2cpp with admin privileges ( Right click, Run As Admin )
excluded the game folder from Microsoft defender
PS: i don't have steam or any other game launcher installed on this machine.
although you stated your AV is set to exclude, check to see if its somehow grabbed a file from this game before you did set the exclusion. " message : License Failure " i believe says your not able to bc of license issues. which (this has a bypass for). so check the AV software.
are you on win 11 24H2 by chance? and your av exclusion looks like (image below) correct? edit- do note, it doesnt have to the exact same folder name, or drive location. but the entire DD2 folder should be excluded to avoid any removal of files.
edit 2- i tried re-creating this crash your facing to no avail.
thank you for your support yes i do have win 11 24H2 i just find the solution installing steam and closing it fixed the problem but the loading times is nuts in this game even changing graphics settings led to 10~15 sec waiting for settings to save
steam should not have any affect on this working. but, i suggest you double check the pinned comment that your save is working correctly and not "slow" as you put it. bc it takes mer moments to save settings, and save the game itself.
yes, you may have already done these things. but double checking is a thing i do often. i tried recreating this issue, but never could do so. removing steam api files, config, etc but nothing i did would work. in any case tho, this game does demand heavy on a cpu and gpu being decent. (during startup no matter when) this game will have "stutters" so give it a moment before doing much until after 30/40 seconds pass.
oh, before i fortget. this may have had a hand in your "steam" issue.... steam runs the game from that directory if im not mistaken. so, to make sure games work in the future as most cracked games dont like longer folder directories. set your "cracked games" folders like this or change the folder from C\programfiles\dd2 to C\Dragons Dogma 2 or C\Games\Dragons dogma 2
edit- if your running this on a hard drive (HDD) then it will be slow saving, and have stutters either way. so i dont know of anything you can do to get around that.
my main pawn was made by me... if i follow your question at all. which im not sure i do lol... you can make your own pawn in this dev build no matter that its offline or not.
I meant this (wanted to post screenshots earlier but they didn't want to go through for some reason). Those are not real people, are they? I don't remember that happening in DD1. I played it on ps3 and my pawn only came back from other worlds when there was an internet connection.
i would have to say, not real lol if you blocked the games attempts in connecting (which im sure you have since otherwise its painfully slow at saving) it'll never be able to pull real people in... so these are generated. i never gave them any mind and just kept what i got or sent it to stash.
i never played DD1 (not all the way) recently allowed steam to re download it. so i can finish it.
Hey everyone, late to the party, I'm sorry. I've been really enjoying the game to the point where I would love to actually buy it, but I don't wanna lose my saves from here, as I've gotten pretty far (not really but considering my work to life balance, its surprising ive sunk 8 hours into this game already). Does anyone know where the saves folder is located for it so I can back it up for when I buy the game ?
Not that it isnt, it cant be updated. the retail version has denuvo DRM. this is a leaked dev build. but no, this will not be updated. unless the devs mess up and release a newer version of the leaked dev build...
aw thank you so much for the reply! you guys work so hard! i love this game but for the life of me my pc cant seem to run it consistently without freezing or crashing! ill just have to wait and buy it on steam!
press F5+F6 together while your actually loaded into the game. look for "RT or Ray TRACE" options, turn the stuff off. you may also look through and find "NPC Spawn" or "NPC distance" (something like that) you can modify those settings too. the dev console has quite alot of stuff that can assist in bad frames. you just need to look through it and find the ones you need. you can favorite the ones you desire for easy access your next launch.
This message sells me, it already updated the drivers and I deleted and reinstalled all the visual C++ packages "The application could not be started correctly (0xc000007b)
everytime i kill some enemies my game crashes some that are crashing my game rn are lava slimes,skeleton swordsmen and wraiths anyone else having this problem?
Never had a single crash. beat it already, got several endings. including the true DOGMA ending its intended to have. If your crashing alot, turn down the settings. bc your GPU probably doesnt have the ram to support what your trying to push.
*you can also turn off raytracing in the L3/R3 F5/F6 debug/dev menus, which should help you. you can also follow another comment and force the game to run in dx11 mode which would be easier on older hardware. since ill assume "you just posted this question" without reading any older comments, ill assist with one of my other comments below and paste what i stated. as this too may help you!
Open "steam_settings" folder in the game directory, and then open "configs.overlay.ini" ,and change "enable_experiental_overlay=1" to "enable_experiental_overlay=0". and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
you can also try this
Open game directory, open "config.ini", change DX12 to DX11, and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply). (This method isnt a guarantee, but worth a shot if nothing else). you should also make sure your drivers (C++, net framework, GPU drivers) are all updated. make 100% sure your running the game as ADMIN (right click, hit "properties" hit compatibility, then hit change for all users then select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" hit apply.
If your pawns "TALK TO MUCH" (dont deny, everyone's do) unless they found the "APHONITE'S TOME" which shuts there ass up (unless its "super important") where to get it? IDFK BUT you can use the debug menu in "settings, options, debug, select the 3rd option down the list" then go to implements and number 122 image may help since "debug" can be two separate things. its NOT L3/R3 or F5/F6! has everything in the game except RC or i have not found it and have searched thru for an hour.
not sure, think someone else asked this. and i couldn find it. i didn use a cheat to mod DCP into the game as you get quite a lot as is. (i had all vocations, and all skills for said vocation at the end of the game) with left overs.
IGG doesnt "CRACK" games. they upload them. scene groups or P2P cracks it. (P2P is someone like you, me, whoever cracks it and uploads to a trusted place.) scene is "RUNE, RAZOR, FLT, SKIDROW, CODEX, EMPRESS, ETC" but again, games are "uploaded" here. not cracked by the admin nor mods! you can also crack it and send it in for upload if you wish
Easy way using the debug menu for no decreasing stamina and ignore weight if you want "gold" you can use cheat engine follow directions below and grab the mod off nexus linked below too!
press F5 and F6 ingame (controller R3+L3, hold L2 or R2 and use dpad to navigate to "player") or step 2
cycle thru the menu using home or page up key
repeat "PLAYER"
select number 5 "PlayerStaminaSetting" set to 4, you will see some text appear on the upper right, it will say "NoDecreasing"
select number 030 "PlayerWeightRank" set to 1, carry as much as you want and still be "very light" (whatever it says your unlimited in what you carry now)
link to mod (must have cheat engine installed already!)
directions for using mod (pay attention bc its not the usual cheat engine way)
rename the game to DD2 (rename runtimeIL2 to DD2) rename DD2 exe to something else! game still runs fine!
wait until your IN THE GAME WITH THE PAUSE/ITEM menu open (the menu before you go into your inventory!)
once you can see your "GOLD" hit ALT+ENTER to swap from fullscreen to window mode
run the V2 script he made as ADMIN (everything you do here will need ADMINISTRATER RIGHTS!)
hit the "PC" icon then switch it to "PROCESS" it will say DD2
hit the GOLD icon (dont hit the option to edit, just enable it for the moment)
NOW do something that makes your money change (pick up something, sell, buy, etc!)
yes, i mentioned it in the comment you responded to just a bit ago. read the first half of it. stamina will not deplete when using is. in or out of combat!
cant help ya there. go into settings, options, debug scroll down to the third "option/selection" its a different debug menu that has more english from what im told. have yet tried it since i just got off the game and am going to sleep. so, other than that i couldn tell ya.
you can use cheat engine. no, do not use DD2.exe i will link you to a mod, find my name in the comments and follow what i say to do (as im the only one who stated exactly how to get it going)
gold is the only main thing to use it on tho. stamina and weight are already in the dev menu as well as leveling etc. I copied and pasted exactly what i had written there.
cant link comment so grab the mod, and follow these directions (rename DD2 exe to DD22, DDD, it doesnt matter but the runtimeexe needs to be renamed to DD2 for this to work. (game still runs fine btw)
to get this to run (i was about to state it didn work for gold) but it does after its done proper
rename the game to what his directions stated
wait until your IN THE GAME WITH THE PAUSE/ITEM menu open (the menu before you go into your inventory!)
once you can see your "GOLD" hit ALT+ENTER to swap from fullscreen to window mode
run the V2 script he made as ADMIN (everything you do here will need ADMINISTRATER RIGHTS!)
hit the "PC" icon then switch it to "PROCESS" it will say DD2
hit the GOLD icon (dont hit the option to edit, just enable it for the moment)
NOW do something that makes your money change (pick up something, sell, buy, etc!)
NOW set 5000000 gold and hope thats enough.
debug menu does all the other stuff just couldnt get "DUMMY MONEY" to do jack squat. EDIT- its pretty obvious to swap back into fullscreen mode ALT+ENTER right? right! thank you Freaks88 endorsed and voted (only gold script i found that works for this)
subtitles and "menu/wording" is all there is. you can change this yourself in the games options settings. it has no official support on steam for polish language
yea, i seen one of your other mentions on this after asking. way down the line anyways lol.. have yet to fire it up, but she is set to run in admin mode. been playing odyssey lol (metro exodus before that) man did i forget how good that game was too. the only downside to ACO is that is version is 1.06 since it still has denuvo till this day. fn ubisnot.
To ALL those having "slow save issues" THIS IS FOR YOU! (and possible character deletion/save location if you wish!)
- first things first, change the location of where this game
- Right Click the runtime_il2cpp (the launcher icon) and hit properties, then compatibility, next select "change settings for all users" and select RUN as ADMIN hit APPLY! (so it always runs as admin, you can also hit create desktop shortcut after that).
- go into your firewall settings, (Microsoft firewall will be FINE) and add an outbound block to "runtime_il2cpp"
- go into in game settings & disable its "want" to connect to NETWORK options!
- Save data is located in C:\Users\PCNAME\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\2054970\remote\win64_save
this will fix the "SLOW SAVE" issues, and WILL allow re-creating of characters!is. (do not leave it where its downloaded, and change the folder name to DD2) should look like "F/GAMES/Dragons Dogma 2" nothing more!
this means to create a folder, copy its content from "game" folder and paste it into DD2 do not leave the folder called "game" in there!
(block all 3 options for private, etc) name it whatever you wish!
( if you do remove the save files, you start over as far as i can tell!) but it indeed will delete your character to allow a fresh start!
a last "hail mary attempt" would be to turn off the network to the PC all together. but, this should work if you followed instructions correctly. Do not have steam running while playing this as steam will try to hook this and create confusion on where this is supposed to save. game MUST be installed on an SSD preferred NVME!
note- takes 10 seconds or less to save my game!
ignore the name of "DD2 it is RUNETIME" just renamed for cheatengine use. DD22 is the original DD2 exe.
image for folder pathing!
adding images incase others cant follow written directions (forgive me IGG and fast comments for the large influx of images!)
starting your firewall blocking AFTER changing folder pathing to proper pathing!
follow RED ARROW! Hit PROGRAM then NEXT
next hit "browse" and go to where you made that NEW folder location where your DD2 and RUNTIME exe are located (select the runtimeil2 exe) then hit next
now select BLOCK CONNECTION per RED ARROW then hit NEXT
now select private, domain, and public (yes ALL 3) bc if your needing this
then you probably dont know what kind of network your on. then hit NEXT!
now in the name box important PAY ATTENTION name it "WHATEVER YOU WANT" (do not ask me what to name it bc you can name it donkey kong, it doesnt matter! name it whatever you want!) then hit FINISH your done you should have quicker save time!
edit- this is what i could fine (google lol)
link here
while it may be different, it should be the same!
(you could just turn off your internet to the pc and it "should" do the same thing.
re-edit- i have to assume to get this going, you would
need to have the game running to have its process show up.
if all else fails adding the rule in microsoft firewall should still work even if avast takes priority. since microsoft is at a base/kernel level.
you could have moved it to that same NVME drive and been fine.
(i moved mine from its downloaded location, to the location shown)
which is the same drive (as my downloaded cracked games go to
this 2tb drive) since it is on "exclusions" in my AV software to save
other headaches.
either way, glad it worked.
"where did my game play progress go" do you??
i mention this just for those who "delete this" after
playing for hours or longer and have been in game for a while.
to which will delete that character, and WHAM its gone.
BUT the dev console has a character editing option.
(unsure it works, but it is there) amongst alot of other stuff.
(except RC) thats the only thing i could not find. even has the special RC items that the dude in the main castle area sells.
once that is open search through it, find "RayTracing" turn it (OFF) re start the game to take effect. turn off all ray tracing options the dev console has.
that will increase the FPS some, there are other settings inside the dev console that "decrease NPC spawns, etc. (i dont know the name of those however) as i have beat this and have not played in well over a weeks time. (stalker 2 has had my attention to be honest).
this ran great on my PC at maxed out settings. So i didnt mess with much. i do know when i turned on RT thru the dev console compared to OFF it made the game nearly unplayable. your just going to have to mess around with "off, on" settings until you find something that helps you.
c/users/"your username"/appdata/roaming/goldberg steamemu saves/2054970
without a doubt is where its at... check it (the ini says local)
but that isnt where it goes... the "steam ID" is DD2... if your save
is going to somewhere else, did you change the ini file to have it
go somewhere else??
its 100% goldberg emu runnin this lol.
check that "save location" bc it would be pretty strange if
you did have it in local instead. (goldberg default is where
this is directed too in the INI file) i checked pretty hard.
but you gotta know a bit about the emu from goldberg to begin with.. i do a bit of cracking, and sending in here from time to time.
edit- i have a local save location for Dragons Dogma Dark Arisin (which i thought was this at first). is that something your possibly doing? if its really there, show it.
and show that config ini i shared please (its in the portable game folder where you launch from). (show it in a photo/screenshot)
here are two images from the emu itself.
note that GSESAVES is "goldberg steam emu" hence the name
in the directory location i mentioned a bit ago. (a few hours i guess now).
why?
i HAVE RE4 on steam.
tried the re4 "DENUVOLESS" and game ran the EXACT, SAME, with the EXACT SAME SETTINGS.
and people getting this info based off a "VIDEO." ohkay.
and ive played games on steam that have "DENUVO" and still runs at 60fps, no issues!
yall buncha sheep. maybe try upgrading your cpu and getting parts from actual, legit sites, and properly install, the parts.
"denuvo doesnt exist." Think before you call people sheep with such a bootlicking retarded statement.
bootlicking? im sorry if i have a better PC or have it better installed than yours.
im sorry if your running a "linux PC/Laptop" and cant play any games without having to throw a tantrum on "GAME RUNS LIKE TRASH ON MY 900RTX 8GB 100G STORAGE AND ITS FLAGGING MY ANTIVIRUS."
or your imaginary
"509000 RTX MSI 500GB 90k DUAL WIDESCREEN, still cant run this game properly, FIX YOUR GAME CRAPCOM"
RE7 was one of those games with problems, not RE4.
And it also depends on your PC. For example if you have a weak CPU, you can run into FPS drops with Denuvo, but if you have a good CPU you won't notice it.
In the case of DD2, its very CPU intensive and his 9700X might spit out a few more FPS without Denuvo.
But if you have a 9800X3D or a weaker GPU that can't deliver much FPS, you might not notice...
Also you sound like a horrid person.
as on this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WowmvPny9J4
should really stop replying back to me, when we clearly wont or see eye to eye on ANYTHING.
good day.
uses another video as an argument
chef kiss
stop being a shee -nevermind.
@Bowie if your gonna insult like a 13 year old and BLOCK?
go to reddit. unless you already got banned from there for ban evasion.
recent reviews mentions the fps got a massive difference
that boost might quite help with the engine since it doesnt get along well with open world games
yall just have PC's from 2010.
all they did in this version is added more graphic options.
And now the game works perfectly for me; I haven't had any lag or stuttering, nothing. Everything has been running smoothly for me.
EDIT: Ok, yeah. it's the same situation. However this leaked version is apparently super buggy and even has game breaking bugs that have since been patched so consume at your own risk
it runs perfectly; the optimization is amazing (>w<) poi!!
It's nothing like the first pirated version of this game which was simply dog shit, The optimization was the worst, The game wasn't even giving me 10 FPS
These two and a half years of updates worked wonders
The game runs for me with a combination of medium and high graphics settings, reaching 60FPS and 1080P. Capcom literally did witchcraft with this engine to achieve that, on my filthy peasant graphics card D:!!!
..........................................
My PC is a
i5 11400
GTX 1650 Super
16GB RAM DDR 4 3200 MHz
game installed on an SSD
............................................
Thank you so much for the game and I'm ready to no life this game de chu!!!
and dont seem like your able to enable frame gen/ray tracing.
and presume to call this game "unable to perform"
.......................................
I've already been playing for more than 3 hours ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...........................................
And these are the graphics settings I'm using
...........................................................
The game is running smoothly for me, 40 to 60 fps 1080P
And if you don't believe me, I could invite you to my Discord and stream it for you to see with your own eyes.
well done
So that the messages on this page would be visible, and not just the screenshot from the game.
your overloading your pc.
not in a good way.
pretty sure your PC sounds like a PS4, running loud or fans spinning really loud, after an hour or less.
and as i thought, you cant even run tracing.
i guess the day you stop making comments, is the day you broke your own computer, because you keep on pushing it more than it can perform, and play games that it obviously cant handle.
good luck getting or replacing parts at this day age.
by no issues, by the way, is; you get no stutters, everything's constant 60fps from open world to boss fights to villages, you can load the game from any slot.
otherwise im just chatting with weirdo.
A picture is worth a thousand words
the other fella roasted your sorry ass not one but more than one
at this point whatever shit you type is now pointless kid
Playing 1080p 30fps locked is quite realistic for a 7-8 years old GPU. Again, I don't need RayCrap, 2160p or 60fps, but that's my standard and it should be totally valid as yours, which means it is understood as "no issues".
If you want to spend more money on a GPU just to have more numbers, it's totally understandable, I do not, because I do not need it and I will enjoy the game the same way as you will.
Normally, that's all it takes to lose up to 10 degrees Celsius, sometimes a little more
and u da wierdo de chu
you won the battle
unless redditboy do the same as you hes in checkmate
Ie borderline unplayable
plus no dlcs apparently, and extremely poor optimization, and possible for people to encounter all sorts of bugs and issues if unlucky or probably guaranteed and just unnoticed/ignored, etc...
a few posts down guy even posted where they put the update notes
FirstAid81
FULL UPDATE HISTORY
(up until November 16th 2024)
https://www.dragonsdogma.com/2/en-us/topics/update/
(Some being 1 the earliest and most recent Reduce Crashing, 4 times you could get stuck + 2 where pawn could, cpu overload, bugged quests from enemies reviving - Guardian Gigantus quest becoming impossible after playing the cinematic - Fixed issues that prevented progression in some quests, and of course others like making pawns function ie not losing ability to speak outside combat - not falling off cliffs - looting when told to loot).
Though might still be best to just play 1st one maybe mod it up, and for certain is better, if person some how has never played 1st one.
Did you even do Guardian Gigantus quest or have a quest get stuck on progression (they didn't name all of those ones) as those are really big sounding ones that again they said they Had to fix.
So kind of surprised granted that more of a reason to not bother with it as much then for it. But it was more of a joke as many people do tend to spend a long time with character creators.
Well keep eye out for stuck quests since patch notes said they had to fix them, especially main quest Guardian Gigantus, although a quick google seems to say basically he just a massive but optional boss when you first go to a volcanic island where cutscene stops the door trigger permentally keeping him inaccessible.
*youll know you got the best ending if you save the princes,
fix the "special sword", save your pawn, defeat all dragon spawns,
defy the "mfr who pretends to help you the entire game".
and *you get to the throne room, speak to the "shadow person"
twice, kill yourself with special sword, then do all the "red points of interest"... (in my opinion, thats the best ending. pretty sure it is). since the "main" world your from, is saved.
thanks IGG sharing ~
I too hope they release a playable 'Persona3Reload' soon but if it takes long enough...I myself am planning to wait atleast till a SwItcH2 version launches...I advice you do as you may find peace in...but maybe you can spend the days waiting while playing "PerSoNa5RoYal" or ShiNMeGamiTenSei5VeNgeNcE(Switch emulation)....or atbest Metaphor ReFantazio(From This site) if you like atlus production and can bear to wait while savouring the similiar cousine made by the same chefs with a nostalgic aftertaste nontheless with/out less investment financialy one way or the other ..instead of counting the days till a king or queen may present us with a possible solution to this crisis(Don't do this mistake like I and many other's have done before and are still doing)...till then ...I leave this info hear...go on find what you need...there's no limit to what us privateers can achieve......
Crashes right in the main menu: The RE Engine (runtime_il2cpp) crashes during the initialization of the MainScene. Thread logs show shader bindings and asset streaming failing to load correctly.
Save system is broken: Autosaves hang for several minutes, manual saves overlap, causing race conditions. The official Steam version handles all these threads cleanly and safely.
Shader cache & VRAM issues: Even with 12 GB VRAM on an RTX 4070 Super and 64 GB RAM, the game remains unstable. The engine attempts to compile missing or corrupted shaders, which regularly fails in the cracked build.
False claims from the uploader: Anyone claiming “it works fine for me” ignores that essential parts of Steam APIs, cloud emulation, and asset checks are missing. Every user of this version will sooner or later encounter runtime_il2cpp crashes.
Conclusion: If you want to actually play Dragon’s Dogma 2, the official Steam version is the only stable option. This crack is at best a very limited trial; in reality, it is unplayable.
Bonus: The game is currently available on Steam for only €15, so there’s literally no reason to rely on this broken crack.
Source: CrashDump logs (runtime_il2cpp), main menu binding failures, save thread blocking. Test hardware: i9-14xxx, 64 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Super 12 GB VRAM.
select the third option down on the list once your in there.
has money, items, everything! EXCEPT RC and its easier to use!
only way to get out of it is ESCAP on your keyboard. i couldn
figure out how to get out of it on controller.
EDIT- O is back or whatever O is on Xbox controller since i use a ps4 controller!
i have done both "true endings" finishing the second now.
RC is something in abundance that i honestly never
checked to manipulate. im playing stalker 2 right now.
but, ill be back on DD2 sometime shortly. if i find it,
ill let you know.
F5+F6 will enter debug mode (I suck with it and ignore it largely but can cheat with it)
press esc go to debug in options 3rd one down (can spawn any item including rift crystal clusters)
And the Absolute one simplified that Craxton said-
issues with long saving times Solution(do the following while the game is not running), go to search bar, search control panel, go to system & security, then Windows defender firewall, then advanced settings. In both inbound rules and outbound rules delete any Dragon's Dogma 2 named ones. Then in both inbound and outbound rules create a rule(by selecting "new rule" in the right side of the window), select program, then browse and find the game folder, select the game's .exe file, after that choose to block all access.
Also supposeivly this helps make it run better idk did it once (have to do it every time you run it) did not notice much difference ->
open task manager
details
find game task (it's the exe name, so runtime yadada something)
right click
set affinity
disable CPU 0
ok, close
Also suggest the mod that helps it run better (just auto sets computer to give it priority sort of thing)
Also read this on a steam comment never looked into if related but figured would add-
Additionally it might help you to not crash if you go into "steam_settings" folder, open with notepad file "configs.overlay.ini" and change "enable_experimental_overlay=1" into "enable_experimental_overlay=0".
personally growing very bored of game and getting tired of hearing same 3 lines non stop from pawns and 3 from every npc that I am going to already quit it soon but figured this might help others.
try this
Open "steam_settings" folder in the game directory, and then open "configs.overlay.ini" ,and change "enable_experiental_overlay=1" to "enable_experiental_overlay=0". and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
you can also try this
Open game directory, open "config.ini", change DX12 to DX11, and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
(This method isnt a guarantee, but worth a shot if nothing else).
you should also make sure your drivers (C++, net framework, GPU drivers)
are all updated. make 100% sure your running the game as ADMIN
(right click, hit "properties" hit compatibility, then hit change for all users
then select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" hit apply.
L2 or R2 while in the debug menu you can use the D-PAD
to navigate etc. (not found a way to edit money bc
"dummy money" doesnt work... but most the other stuff
does!
KB&M is F5+F6 together controller R3+L3
edit 2- whatever option that has an ON/OFF mode, if you switch it, switch it back before going back into the game. Ray trace enabling does add the option in the menu (it wasnt there for me prior even tho i have a 4070ti) not sure it really does anything bc im on max settings at 4k hitting 60fps in the "castle area" near the first 30/60min of the game. but again, if you switch "ALLNPCNUDE" to on switch it back lmao... kept crashing for me. you can boot the game, and go right into the menu and switch it off. may have been on my end. but this is a warning just in case.
Yoooo... i played around with the "dev console" thats built in.
(on controller press L3 and R3 together to toggle on and off)
edit 3- i found a script that works. nexus mods
(uses cheat engine) gotta change the name of
the exe you start etc. but i have 5mil gold now?
see other page , press End-pagedown
(minus typing lol) for gaming im almost exclusive on controller.

Why is that? anyone can help?
A simple firewall block save us those 30+ secs of saving
ill assume cfos would do the same then?
(or firewall for that matter!?)
You save me~~~
much appreciated
ill buy it on the next sale if they fix the performance with those updates.
outside of the starter town its really good 120 FPS (I cap it) 60% CPU usage and 100% on my 6800.... BUT in a town CPU and GPU goes to 50% and the FPS drops to 40s.
and yes I use FSR Quality but that doesn't affect the poor optimization at all
I'm no expert and can't help you much, but I know that BG3 had the exact same issue: Perf ramping up in menu, good optimisation in game for most of the part, sudden spike and stutter when you arive in the big town.
So all I can suggest is look up some optimization guide on youtube, the game is out for a while now, so I suppose there is some people that managed to get decent FPS gain from optimizing the option.
It's not much but it can always help a bit.
As I said I'm just not surprised since BG3 had the same issue and it work more or less the same way.
My game progress at the first inn
also IMPORTENT run the game as admin to save data
they need to deal with another problem
the engine is a total ASS with open world games
if capcom removed denuvo that only means one thing
game is no longer a priority they use the money for new projects
same thing happened with 7 when village was released, then village with re4 and re4 with requiem
Same happened to other companies that lost to full removal from reverse engineered tools just like Hypervisor
Yes!Finally Crack dragons dogma!
which is the reason they are saying the performance got a massive boost
If slapping Goldberg emulation on it counts as a proper crack, then there's billions of crackers out there. Maybe learn what cracking means before you open your mouth.
Also, maybe you should grow up and stop blocking people just so they can't reply to you when you reply to them; that's a 3rd grader move.
thanks for your work :)
each time it just shows crash report ( i copy pasted the report ) and then closes, there's a message in the report that says : License Failure.

and your av exclusion looks like (image below) correct?
edit- do note, it doesnt have to the exact same folder name, or drive location. but the entire DD2 folder should be excluded to avoid any removal of files.
edit 2- i tried re-creating this crash your facing to no avail.
yes i do have win 11 24H2
i just find the solution
installing steam and closing it fixed the problem
but the loading times is nuts in this game
even changing graphics settings led to 10~15 sec waiting for settings to save
yes, you may have already done these things. but double checking is a thing i do often. i tried recreating this issue, but never could do so. removing steam api files, config, etc but nothing i did would work. in any case tho, this game does demand heavy on a cpu and gpu being decent. (during startup no matter when) this game will have "stutters" so give it a moment before doing much until after 30/40 seconds pass.
oh, before i fortget. this may have had a hand in your "steam" issue.... steam runs the game from that directory if im not mistaken. so, to make sure games work in the future as most cracked games dont like longer folder directories. set your "cracked games" folders like this or change the folder from C\programfiles\dd2 to
C\Dragons Dogma 2 or C\Games\Dragons dogma 2
edit- if your running this on a hard drive (HDD) then it will be slow saving, and have stutters either way. so i dont know of anything you can do to get around that.
Those are not real people, are they? I don't remember that happening in DD1. I played it on ps3 and my pawn only came back from other worlds when there was an internet connection.
i never played DD1 (not all the way) recently allowed steam to re download it. so i can finish it.
this is a leaked dev build. but no, this will not be updated. unless the devs mess up and release a newer version of the leaked dev build...
look for "RT or Ray TRACE" options, turn the stuff off. you may also look through and find "NPC Spawn" or "NPC distance" (something like that) you can modify those settings too. the dev console has quite alot of stuff that can assist in bad frames. you just need to look through it and find the ones you need. you can favorite the ones you desire for easy access your next launch.
"The application could not be started correctly (0xc000007b)
it will not start from DD2 exe read its HOW_TO txt file
it always appears the crashing report tool before I start the game.
any advice?
*you can also turn off raytracing in the L3/R3 F5/F6 debug/dev menus, which should help you. you can also follow another comment and force the game to run in dx11 mode which would be easier on older hardware.
since ill assume "you just posted this question" without reading any older comments, ill assist with one of my other comments below and paste what i stated. as this too may help you!
Open "steam_settings" folder in the game directory, and then open "configs.overlay.ini" ,and change "enable_experiental_overlay=1" to "enable_experiental_overlay=0". and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
you can also try this
Open game directory, open "config.ini", change DX12 to DX11, and make the file "read only" (Right click the file, choose properties, and check list read only, and apply).
(This method isnt a guarantee, but worth a shot if nothing else).
you should also make sure your drivers (C++, net framework, GPU drivers)
are all updated. make 100% sure your running the game as ADMIN
(right click, hit "properties" hit compatibility, then hit change for all users
then select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" hit apply.
they found the "APHONITE'S TOME" which shuts there ass up
(unless its "super important") where to get it? IDFK BUT
you can use the debug menu in "settings, options, debug, select the
3rd option down the list" then go to implements and number 122
image may help since "debug" can be two separate things. its NOT
L3/R3 or F5/F6! has everything in the game except RC or i have
not found it and have searched thru for an hour.
this has one thing others usually dont. slow saves. but
thats an issue thats easy to fix.
plus this is a DEVELOPER BUILD. v1.0.0.1 (older)
still yet, the "paid, public" version of this has issues. DD2 was
a MAJOR shitshow off rip.
scene groups or P2P cracks it. (P2P is someone like
you, me, whoever cracks it and uploads to a trusted
place.) scene is "RUNE, RAZOR, FLT, SKIDROW, CODEX,
EMPRESS, ETC" but again, games are "uploaded" here.
not cracked by the admin nor mods! you can also crack it
and send it in for upload if you wish
if you want "gold" you can use cheat engine follow directions below and grab the mod off nexus linked below too!
- press F5 and F6 ingame (controller R3+L3, hold L2 or R2 and use dpad to navigate to "player") or step 2
- cycle thru the menu using home or page up key
- repeat "PLAYER"
- select number 5 "PlayerStaminaSetting" set to 4, you will see some text appear on the upper right, it will say "NoDecreasing"
- select number 030 "PlayerWeightRank" set to 1, carry as much as you want and still be "very light" (whatever it says your unlimited in what you carry now)
link to mod (must have cheat engine installed already!)directions for using mod (pay attention bc its not the usual cheat engine way)
read the first half of it. stamina will not deplete when using is.
in or out of combat!
i will link you to a mod, find my name in the comments and follow
what i say to do (as im the only one who stated exactly how to get it going)
gold is the only main thing to use it on tho. stamina and weight are already in the dev menu as well as leveling etc.
I copied and pasted exactly what i had written there.
link to mod here
cant link comment so grab the mod, and follow these directions
(rename DD2 exe to DD22, DDD, it doesnt matter but the runtimeexe
needs to be renamed to DD2 for this to work. (game still runs fine btw)
to get this to run (i was about to state it didn work for gold) but it does after its done proper
- rename the game to what his directions stated
- wait until your IN THE GAME WITH THE PAUSE/ITEM menu open (the menu before you go into your inventory!)
- once you can see your "GOLD" hit ALT+ENTER to swap from fullscreen to window mode
- run the V2 script he made as ADMIN (everything you do here will need ADMINISTRATER RIGHTS!)
- hit the "PC" icon then switch it to "PROCESS" it will say DD2
- hit the GOLD icon (dont hit the option to edit, just enable it for the moment)
- NOW do something that makes your money change (pick up something, sell, buy, etc!)
- NOW set 5000000 gold and hope thats enough.
debug menu does all the other stuff just couldnt get "DUMMY MONEY" to do jack squat.EDIT- its pretty obvious to swap back into fullscreen mode ALT+ENTER right? right!
thank you Freaks88 endorsed and voted (only gold script i found that works for this)
in the games options settings.
it has no official support on steam for polish language
did they leave it out on an update or some shit?
(either way, fuck yes!) waking up to this is better than morning
wood.
way down the line anyways lol.. have yet to fire it up, but she
is set to run in admin mode. been playing odyssey lol
(metro exodus before that) man did i forget how good that
game was too. the only downside to ACO is that is version
is 1.06 since it still has denuvo till this day. fn ubisnot.
