Here's the <a href="http://dreamcatcherinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26985" target="_blank">announcement</a>:<blockquote><em><b>DreamCatcher Games Ships Dungeon Lords Collector’s Edition
<br>D.W. Bradley’s Fantasy Action RPG Goes to Retail</b>
<br>
<br>Toronto, February 3, 2006 - DreamCatcher Games, an award-winning publisher of PC and console games, today announced that Dungeon Lords Collector’s Edition has shipped to retailers across North America.
<br>
<br>One of the best-selling RPGs in 2005, the Dungeon Lords Collector’s Edition includes all of the latest updates as well as new quests, rare items to collect, spells, effects, monsters, areas to explore and amazing new heraldries and character customizations to take your RPG experience even deeper. The Dungeon Lords Collector’s Edition comes packaged in a limited edition painted metal casing that is sure to look great on any collector’s shelf.
<br>
<br>Also being released today is the highly-anticipated Update 1.4 for the Standard Edition of Dungeon Lords, allowing players to customize their characters to a greater degree.
<br>
<br><b>The Storyline</b>
<br>Dungeon Lords blends the depth of an Epic Fantasy RPG with the flexibility of an FPS-style control system. Gamers journey through a land of ancient castles and dungeon lairs to engage in real-time tactical combat with a variety of deadly foes. It’s not just about the battles though, as magic spells and hundreds of powerful weapons and artifacts play a huge role in the game.
<br>
<br>The game features an abundance of personal missions and quests along with numerous characters to interact with. Players can customize an extensive variety of skills and special abilities for their heroes, including race, features and class specializations. The simple and intuitive design will thrill RPG and action fans alike and supports cooperative multiplayer for up to eight players.

Ok here is a/my problem, well one of them 
I have tried to install the 1.4 English update, since it is more than a 100meg to get it a try.
It will not install, says my version is 1.1 and here is the problem afaik.
Version 1.3 is not a real install version (download at least 3 differnt sites they are all the same) it only extracts files which you choose to overwirte.
Problem with this is it does not update your registry, so version 1.4 CHECKS the version before installing. 
I tried to make a 1.3 registry entry, since I dont know the proper string of the 1.3 it did not work.
Anyone have a solution or can tell me/us the proper 1.3 registry string, so we can install this?
I found my registry entry under Local_Machine\Software\DreamCatcher\Dungeon Lords
The 1.1 entry is 1.10.0000
I tried to register on DreamCatcher to ask but I guess the Activation Email system is overun, nothing yet?
I can get the German 1.3 to 1.4 patch to work fine and it definatly says v1.3 in the game.
Also tried fresh install, trying to patch 1.4 at each stage. |

Turns out they released 2 versions of the 1.3 patch and only one actually installs the registry, brillant idea.  |

It's pretty bad when you need a patch for the patch! |

'Collector's Edition'?!?!?
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I think I'll just wait for Oblivion and Gothic 3. |

I bought the game at it's release and still cannot nor even want to play it. Losing that money taught me finally to not buy initial game offerings. Nothing new I guess but that was embarassing for both me and the publisher. I see no humor in this debacle. What cujones to release a "Collector's Edition" when the regular edition won't accept patches or work at all to be playable. At least mine won't, but academic, now it's a dog toy or maybe a Christmas ornament to hang along with Windows ME. An apology and refund should be forthcoming? I hope your luck was better. |

Because just about everyone except you thinks the game is really that bad.

Just a quick question: applying the 1.4 patch will give you the same game as the collector's edition or what? Either way I can't see the collectors edition selling a single copy with all the bashing the original has taken.

Nope.
Collector's edition got new stuff that they made and is not included with the patch.
Someone has to pay for them to reach beta stage you know. |
