Hello everyone! :)

Since 2017, I've put my knowledge into contribution and developed this tool for the Quest for Glory 5's community This tools keeps growing and currently allows to :

1. Patch the game's texts/subtitles into 7 currently supported languages:
   • French
   • English
   • Spanish (translated by microweb with the help of Chyron. Thank you very much guys for your incredible contribution to QFG5 community! Your work is absolutely amazing! :)
   • Portuguese
   • German
   • Russian
   • Czech (Entirely translated by gtpmax! Thank you very much for your incredible contribution to QFG5 community my friend! ♥)
2. Contains a crash fix that was only affecting french and russian versions of the game. The crash was occurring in the 5 villages' chest room, making it nearly impossible to progress.
3. Fixes ALL known crashes & animation sequence getting stuck when playing as Elsa and Magnum. This should make possible an entire walkthrough as Elsa and Magnum.
4. Fixes a crash that was happening under obscure circumstances whenever triggering an inland random encounter. This crash was very serious because it affected the savegame. This also fixes cases where a random encounter sound would play without launching any fight
5. Fixes the dragonlings sound crash occuring when performing the 'fire breathing' attack. This should also fix the dragon crash.
6. Fixes random crash occurring when using Thermonuclear spell in a relatively densely populated area (such as the invaded villages)
7. Fixes 'Glide' spell crash due to missing graphics (spell was cut from the game, but it is still accessible using a savegame editor)
8. Improve compatibity on newer Operating Systems (mostly relevant if you own a CD version of the game)
9. Contains a home-made translation tool, so that QFG5 can be translated into new languages! :)

11. Crash detection with knowledge base When the game is launched through QFG5Patcher: the tool will automatically detect your game's crashes.
    • If a solution for it is found offline, it's going to give you some instructions on how to fix it.
    • If a solution for it is found online, you will be offered to be redirected to the url containing all the information about the issue, and how to fix it.

This tool is fully functional with the game purchased from any support (CD, Steam, GOG).
