FAQ

Where can you buy Ruins of Myth Drannor in 2026?

Digital release on Steam and GOG on 2026-11-06 from SNEG (first-time digital distribution per RPG Site, 2026-11-05). Launch price $19.99 on Steam (checked 2026-11-07).

What are the minimum PC requirements?

Steam lists Windows 10/11 64-bit, 1.8 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, DirectX 9.0c compatible video card, DirectX 11, and 4 GB available storage. GOG lists 2 GB RAM and 1 GB storage—we document that conflict and recommend planning for Steam’s figures.

Is the GOG version DRM-free?

Yes. GOG advertises offline play without mandatory client DRM. Steam uses Steam DRM and offers Steam Cloud and Steam achievements; GOG uses optional Galaxy for cloud/achievements.

Does the remaster run on macOS or Linux?

Official support is Windows only per GOG FAQ and Steam requirements (2026-11-07). Unofficial Linux or Deck play is outside this page—see /guides/steam-deck-and-controller/.

What languages are supported?

Steam lists interface text in seven languages, with English, French, German, and Polish voice lines listed among supported languages on the store page (checked 2026-11-07).

Where should you buy the 2026 remaster?

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor returned digitally on 2026-11-06 after the 2001 retail release (North America 2001-09-25 per Wikipedia, checked 2026-11-07). Publisher SNEG partnered with Wizards of the Coast; credits still name Stormfront Studios as developer. (Source: RPG Site launch article, 2026-11-05.)

Store	Product	Launch price (USD)	Notable platform perks
Steam	App 4834760	$19.99 (checked 2026-11-07)	Achievements, Steam Cloud, single-player only in feature list
GOG	DRM-free installer	$19.99 (same window)	Offline install, achievements, cloud optional via Galaxy

Early review samples were tiny on both stores (Mixed ~69% on 13 Steam reviews vs GOG 3.6/5 on 9 reviews, checked 2026-11-07)—see /guides/worth-it/ for how we use those numbers without overstating certainty.

Steam also ships a demo (App 5307870) covering the first area with save transfer into the full game (RPG Site, 2026-10-19). Try it before committing if you are unsure about the pace or UI.

What are the official system requirements?

We treat the Steam minimum block as the planning baseline because GOG’s table disagrees on RAM and storage.

Steam minimum (Remaster 2026)

Component	Requirement
OS	Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
Processor	1.8 GHz
Memory	4 GB RAM
Graphics	DirectX 9.0c compatible video card
DirectX	Version 11
Storage	4 GB available space

Steam’s recommended section only repeats 64-bit OS without higher CPU or GPU tiers (checked 2026-11-07).

GOG minimum (conflict noted)

GOG lists 2 GB RAM and 1 GB storage on the same game—we do not reconcile this with Steam; assume 4 GB RAM and 4 GB disk when budgeting installs unless GOG updates the table. (Source: GOG product page, 2026-11-07.)

The remaster advertises widescreen up to 4K and sharper backgrounds (Steam description). That is a display upgrade, not a new GPU tier on paper—Unverified in the remaster whether integrated graphics hold 4K comfortably.

Steam vs GOG: DRM, cloud saves, and features

Feature	Steam build	GOG build
DRM	Steam client authentication	DRM-free offline installer (GOG FAQ)
Cloud saves	Steam Cloud listed	Optional GOG Galaxy cloud
Achievements	Steam achievements	GOG achievements
Controller	Full controller + Deck mention	Controller support listed
Multiplayer	Single-player only in Steam features	No separate co-op listing; see gap note below

GOG users can ignore Galaxy entirely and back up saves manually—pair that habit with /guides/saves-and-crashes/.

Unverified in the remaster: Whether 2001 retail saves import, and whether GOG’s offline build omits any enhancement toggle present on Steam—no official cross-store save FAQ as of 2026-11-07.

Steam’s page does not list cooperative play. The Original (2001) FAQ described standalone multiplayer random dungeon modes; community reports claim modes were removed or unmentioned in 2026—Unverified in the remaster (GOG user review 2026-11-07; see facts index). Compare intent in /guides/remaster-vs-original/.

Ratings, content warning, and languages

Both stores show ESRB Mature 17+ for violence and gore (Steam Mature Content descriptor; GOG ESRB line, 2026). Expect undead combat and dungeon horror framing consistent with the 2001 campaign.

Interface support covers seven languages on Steam; voice acting includes English, French, German, and Polish per the languages table (checked 2026-11-07). Subtitle comfort on ultrawide or handheld screens is Unverified in the remaster.

After you install

On first launch, walk through /guides/beginner-guide/ for Legacy Mode vs enhanced UI, optional turn timer, and party basics. Technical stability promises (“numerous bug fixes”) appear in marketing copy without a public fix list—track issues on /guides/saves-and-crashes/ instead of assuming parity with patch 1.4 retail behavior.

Sources and what we haven’t verified

Sources: Steam store and GOG store (2026-11-07); RPG Site — availability; Wikipedia release dates; romd-facts-A A4/A5/E5.

Unverified in the remaster: Which requirement table matches real installers, 4K performance on min-spec GPUs, multiplayer mode fate, and save compatibility with Original (2001) disks.
