Hi,

I am trying to play the game Ring: The Legend of the Nibelungen. The game has somewhat messed up save/load system - seems to plague all the older Arxel Tribe games (so far I had it with The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin, The Secrets of Alamut. The problem shows up by Pompei and Jerusalem as well, but for the latter two games it was repaired by unofficial (french) patch. I was able to finish the Prophet and Secrets by using autosave feature + continue instead of load, but Ring doesn’t allow this - probably because there are five different game characters or something…

There is a following error message: 
Warning: Cannot save game “Name” / Warning: Cannot load game “Name”.

I’m playing on a notebook, the problem shows on every OS I’ve tried to use, both natively (windows 8, 10)and emulated (3.1, Win95)

It doesn’t matter where the game is installed, be it in Program Files or C:\Ring.

I’ve updated the drivers recently and the directx is of the last version, too (but there are some files from direct 8 that I had to install for another older game).

Finally, I have two different versions of the game - DVD multilingual version and 4 CD CD version (eng).

There are two patches available, but the one is older than the replaced files of the both versions and the other is just an installer.
