@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:
    Uploaded Image

  • 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)

Check out this fix for the controller issue:

Fix for PC (Steam / Third-Party Controllers)If you are playing on PC, you can bypass the glitch by forcing a raw input trajectory through your controller software:Change Stick Trajectory: If you use a controller with companion software (like GameSir, 8BitDo, or Razer), open the app and change the left stick trajectory from "Circle" to "Raw".Steam Input: Community members on the Dawnwalker Official Subreddit note that while “enabling steam input doesn't completely fix it,” tweaking the deadzone parameters in Steam's controller layout settings can help stabilize the sprint threshold.

After 1 hour of test gameplay whit my GTX 1650 Super
With graphics at minimum and in 720p, the game barely maintains 30 FPS, It's constantly between 22 and 30 FPS, not stable at all.
Uploaded Image

So it's really not playable if you have a filthy peasant graphics card like mine.
But if they work to optimize the game to give at least a 5 FPS boost, it will be completely playable on a GTX 1650 Super.
In my case, I would try this game again in a year or when the game is complete and receives its final update, and hopefully by that time the game will have been optimized, which I doubt because of the U5 DOG SHIT!!!

Despite that, I can play 99 percent of games at least at a stable 30 FPS/720P, and there have only been about 3 games that I can't play because they force RTX, or they were never optimized, You'd be surprised and wouldn't believe the things a GTX 1650 Super can do.

Non of the patches actually improve the game just use 1.0.1 till there is a real update
You can beat it and never had a game breaking bug
Unless you need controller to play it

Combat is buggy for me so time blocks just don't detect or the enemy just misses

It's definitely not v1.0.2, bro. We aren't that fast, the game was only updated on Steam four hours ago. There will likely be dozens more updates today or tomorrow, so it's best to wait for the developer to release a stable version before we update—rather than having to redownload 50GB every few hours.

I sometimes download them or buy them on steam to try them out, if I think it will be good eventually I keep it, if not I just delete it or refund it.. I pirated Palworld in early access then bought it before the lawsuits, didn't play that much until the 1.0 release.. I also recently bought Windrose, got the pirate ship and quit to wait for full release, fun games.. I bought Craftopia during a sale and it barely ran for me so I instantly refunded it, surprised that it wasn't abandoned though, might try again because I love Palworld lol...

Look at what roosevelt said in the comment above mine. The 1.02 update was just hours ago, it takes a while for them to get it and upload it and post the links here. Not to mention that with a game like this there will be a ton of hotfixes made in rapid succession so it's better to wait for a more stable version before uploading any updates.

Is this your first time using pirate? It's okay, everyone has their first time, even me more than 10 years ago. I will be happy to guide you. You see the name of this release "The Blood of Dawnwalker-RUNE", it's not mine, I just re-uploaded it from SCENE, in this case the RUNE team (you don't need to search their website, since it's not public on the internet, websites you find are known to fake and use the names of groups at SCENE).

What is Scene? you should search the wiki and google about this, they will explain it better than me. In general, the scene is decades old, certainly older than you (and me). It is completely safe. All the pirates you download from the internet, including movies, games, software,... are mostly leaked from the Scene.

When you download a game (or anything that comes from Scene) from sites like IGG, you can easily check the legitimacy of the file you downloaded. By using database sites taken from the scene, for example https://www.srrdb.com/browse/category:pc/order:date-desc/1,... You use tools like 7z, to check the file's HASH code, and match it with information from those web pages. If the hashes match, you are completely safe, and vice versa.

If you need mods to fix optimization, it's poorly optimized. There are plenty of people with 40xx and 50xx cards having issues. Most of them can be fixed with mods, but acting like that isn't a problem is stupid.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I think this game is best played with a keyboard and mouse if you want to save money, because its combat mechanics will destroy your controller's analog stick, and I have no doubt that you'll end up with stick drift by the end.
But if you have the money to keep buying controllers or the experience of changing the stick on your controller, have fun.
Because I'm filthy poor, and I can't risk wasting my controller on this game xd

But even when there are games that don't really force you onto a controller, some games feel better on a controller for more precise stuff.

I also don't like being forced to play with one control scheme, but it's good to have options, no?

I kinda got used to directional blocking from playing For Honor and another game that the name of currently escapes me...but this one seems pretty generous by indicating from which direction the attack is coming from, plus if that isn't enough, you can go to gameplay settings and make it so you can just hit the block button to block, and only lose stamina if you block the wrong way, not take damage. Go ahead, it's ultimately safe for controllers...lol

I have a 2 cheap controllers that are immune to stick drift, an 8bitdo ultimate 2c bluetooth switch controller, and a gamesir nova lite bluetooth controller, though you'll need ds4 windows for both of them since one is a switch controller, and the other is technically a ps4 controller Just make sure it has hall effect joysticks and stick drift won't happen... There's also the steam controller which I'm pretty sure can't get stick drift but that's pretty expensive lol..
