I reinstalled Demise and copied my character file across, but I get the "manual changes" error and Demise won't load unless I reload the previous charactes.ded file!!! This is the order that I installed: Copied demisecharacters.ded to safe directory, Copied demisestore.ded to safe directory, Copied demisecompanionstore.ded to safe directory, Deleted Demise, Ran Regclean, Rebooted, Installed Demise, Rebooted, Created character, Entered/exited dungeon, Quit, Rebooted, Applied patch R31, Rebooted, Copied ded files across, Rebooted, Applied 353 exe/dll patches, Rebooted, Ran Demise, Got the "ding" error, Ran Regclean, Ran Demise, Program ran ok until I got the "you have manually changed files..." error message. HELP PLEASE!!! I have over 1000 levels worth of characters that I have been playing since I bought Demise and I really don't want to lose them!

OK - don't panic! The problem is that with the full version (as opposed to the demo) there was some encryption. Therefore when you install for the first time - DO NOT RUN THE GAME. Close the installation program, copy your DEMISEcharacters.ded file ONLY and then boot up the game and run it once, taking one of you chars into the dungeon and back out. Then close the game, and apply the patches - the order in which you do this is important too

lets see if we can get the chars over first .... I dont believe you can copy the store files.

Sorry - me again! Its the same procedure as if you were transferring chars from the demo and I tried to get a good description of the process here ....
FAQ
I'd like some feedback if that's not correct, although its how I managed it before ...

Thats how it works for me, The store files .mis and .ded can be moved in after all patches are installed but not till you have run the gamme and if your moving the .mis for mp you will have to start up the server too beforE transfering (you could have also moved the guild spells that had been turned in too)
