First of all thank you NeoX for all your work about the Spellforce world.

I tried this patch on SF2 Anniversary Edition to solve a SAVE error/crash I had very often, but didn't helped.

Anyway if you will ever put your hands on this again, I will list some things I noted:

- I have a lot of big drives, and while the "auto-find" function could be useful for some people, I didn't like to wait 30 minutes of scanning to just find a folder that I already knew... so having added the possibility to manually select a folder to scan could be good.

- The "config.xml" in the package contains the name of your character in different locations, I'm not sure if this could lead to errors, after the patch I manually modified the file before starting the game.



The solution for the SAVE error I then found was this old trick that I used for many old games, this utility can unlock the use of 4gb of memory for 32bit applications:
