I completed TCB yesterday. Today, when i tried to restore levels to find secrets, I clicked Abyssian Fortress, but then DROD didn't respond anymore.

I think this is a bug.

I'm playing DROD from my USB stick and i play that on several computers.

If you want to get some err files, tell me.

Ok, I'm assuming that your just using windows XP. Try copying the files onto the hard disk and see if that works. And yeah, see if you create an error in the .err file.

Try deleting the "DataPath.txt" file on your hard disc after copying your installation over. That file contains the path where DROD will look for it's data files, and probably points to wherever your USB stick is.

If you delete it then run DROD.exe directly via Explorer, it will recreate the DataPath.txt file with the correct path.

np: Lali Puna - Crawling By Numbers (Faking The Books)

From your drod.err, it *appears* that the game isn't finding the main drod3_0.dat file. Make sure that file is good, and maybe you could try installing the game again, then inserting all your .dat files (not drod3_0.dat) into the installed location. That should work.
