Uhmm... Which of these 2 installers do I use to get Disciples 2 Gold with all the content?
If I use both of them do I install one on top of the other? Iam a bit confused...

Rise Of The Elves is a standalone expansion of Disciples 2. It means that it doesn't require the main game to be installed to play. Both installers need to be installed to get the whole content, but they must be installed in separate folders. If you install them in the same folder, they will overwrite each other and only the last one installed will be working properly. You can also install any of the two and play with it, without having the other one installed as they are independent from each other.

Вот другой пример не понятно как собранной игры из 2008 года. Данное издание Gold - единственное цифровое, которое не Gold. Даже если скачать из прикрепленной темы файл установки(*) (вроде бы официальный?) Gold Upgrade, остаются все еще потерянными сингловая карта Impire и 12 стандартных героев 12 уровней. Плюс апргрейд меняет номер версии в меню, но никаких других игровых файлов не меняет. Игра остается версии 3.0! Только .exe файлы пропатчены. У Steam - наоборот.

► Я скомпоновал папки Export, скачать по той же ссылке выше
1-export.7z archive = maps из Dark Prophecy version 1.1 (differ, Tutorial differ too)
that all of course not include in other 2 archives, cause they have same updated maps:
2- archive = Gallean's Return folder Export + DP maps + RotE maps that supported
3- export archive = RotE export + DP (already included) + all GR maps and 12 standard heroes.
Large Maps archive - all most largest fan-made scenarios from Disciples.2com, that contain all 4 races playable (except Elves).

_Preview folder with two bink-video (exe) with some pre-realese footage of Disciples 2 (like official digital Gold storepages screens). Also some more official (instead of on GOG) wallpapers and portraits(wallpapers too). And MultimediaPortfolio exe - all that things but in program with game based GUI and music.
All from official retail CDs or Steam (bink-video). Rus-poster is only one custom content (from local distributor old site).

_old folders contain previous installers. main disciples2_gold folder contain last Gold-installer (i check it and it can install one or borh game in similar installation, one of the oldest installer must be run twice for that, but i dont know now what exactly installer do that, very first work same). Maybe im add also very oldest setup_disciples(2).exe installer too - old GOG installers have less adverts and more game descriptions\arts. But that very old packages can be easily found on torrents (i advise old installer for Fallout - latest made by Bethesda even if you buy Interplay original ver.)

Current installers still missed Gold content for RotE + Impire singleplayer (Empire only) scenario for GR, but now include standard 12 heroes (10lvl) for GR.
Many Win10 users report about incompatible Win10 with dxcfg.dll\exe, included in latest build. Rename this files if you encounter problems with D2 games.

I suppose players must run (as admin ofc) dxcfg.exe and set up properly (ConfigEditor as well). dxcfg.exe do not shown in Start Menu or in MORE section in Galaxy. Cant say anything for 100% cause i dont have Win10, and im do not trust some noobs. I can say that this game(s) still work on Win8.

This GOG DX wrapper do not required. And anyway better install OGL wrapper from Verokster - it allow to speedhack game (and as author say, wrapper speed up game(AI) even on 1.0 rate).

Many ppl search some very first custom maps. Here the web archive copy of discipels2 com maps archive (and some saga's) - chronology order, from new to old (top->bottom)
http://web.archive.org/web/201012051045 ... leTypeID=6
some mediafire links with all\most maps from them placed in pinned thread on gog (but all links looks dead - use web archive)
http://www.gog.com/forum/disciples_series
some newest custom maps - but almost all in Russian
http://d2ext.sklabs.ru/en/maps
List of official maps on different editions\CD (i check it - all correct except few misprints and missed Tutorial)
http://nevendaar.com/index/0-43 or
http://netd.sklabs.ru/Scenarios/D2Scenarios.html (i dont check)
I use this links when combine Export folders in above post. GR Export folder contain only GR maps and missed most DP (like 4 CD Gold (america only)). RotE do not include 16 GR maps. Original DP maps - its only maps in RotE that compatible with GR. I check this. Original RotE do not include any new, all Gold RotE maps with Elves race.

Thank you very much for the precious info and advice.

Tried now: Verokster is an amazing and high quality OpenGL wrapper for Disciples games, ways better than the default directX one. Works perfectly on Windows 7 64bit too.

Thank you again!

Nectaris7,
it is not a game issue. DXCFG included and it included for Win8+ compatibility. Now i know that there is a users for them game work on Win10. Probably differ builds of Win10 (such OS, absolutely random thing).
You can try rename ddraw.dll file to disable dxcfg - but then you need another wrapper to make game properly worked on Win8+. Current OS broke game (normal FPS but still low speed\huge delay in animation).

Better double check settings in ConfigEdit and DXCFG.
Anywhere where it possible - you should set 'Keep Aspect ratio' (first for video drivers). DXCFG is only one place where it be set by default. But else settings can be wrong from GOG - not all of them set to be 'by application(default)' even labelad as default option.

There is a lot of missed content for both games. 2.1.0.8 miss even more.
