Help! My patcher is missing? (ExDr_Patcher.exe)
This seems to happen very often because of the way I programmed the patcher. It's a unlicensed application, and will be detected as a trojan because it downloads files automatically.
But that's just the function of it
ExDr_Patcher keeps getting deleted!
To handle this issue, disable all your antivirus temporarily. Then try to add the EX-Dragonica folder and the patcher intot he Exclusive,Exception,Excluded,Ignore list. It's called different names depending on the antivirus you have.
Now once you got that in the exclude/exception, try to download the ExDr_Patcher.exe again from the forum.
Repeat the process if it keeps being disabled. Just got to locate what is deleting it.
It gives me error when I open it
If the error contains "mscorlib" and "4.0.0.0" or something similiar. It means you need to have .NET Framework 4.0 or later installed. I recommmend v4.5.
If it says it can't get the file PatchConfig.ini then either your Firewall or an antivirus is actually blocking the internet connection of the ExDr_Patcher. So you want to make sure nothing is blocking it. You can put it into the firewall exception, or disable your firewall.
Help! It's patching, but it's now stuck at 34% !
This happens because the patch it's trying to patch to is too big. I recommend that you locate the "Manual update" of the latest version on the forum.
This manual update patches every version from v4.0 to the latest version of EX-Dragonica manual updates.
Then there might just be no more updates after that, or there could be a couple of tiny ones.
I/O Program crash when launching game
When you get this error, and it leaves you no choice but to close EX-Dragonica. It means, something is not right. There can be various of reasons for this.
- Game is trying to start in incompatible resolution
Locate (Release) folder in the game folder. In there open "config.xml" in notepad. And try to find "Height" "Width" and edit it to a working resolution for you. Fullscreen should be set to 2.
- .DAT Files are corrupt / mismatch version
There's nothing that indicate this, but it can happen. Incase the client you downloaded was of version previously 3.9 or lower. Then you cannot use that client even if you update it with our updates.
Your only choice is to redownload the v4 client then update that.
- Config.inb
Okay, as a troll I edited this file to make the Shop button that says "Free WCoin" make you browse to a insect pornhub link.
There was a case somebody said this caused the crash for him, so I'll leave this here aswell. In the forum, downloads section, there should be another config.inb to download. Just replace it in your game folder with the new one.
My game keeps crashing!
Okay, dragonica is a old game. We're also not on a very stable version.
So if you are doing dungeons, to lower the risk of crashing in middle of doing it, restart your EX-Dragonica client then enter the dungeon.
This should considerably lower the risk of crash.
