One of the buggiest D&D games ever released, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, is back and actually playable again

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, a 2001 Dungeons & Dragons dungeon crawler notorious for serious bugs, has been rereleased on Steam and GOG in a playable state. The updated version has modern features and fixes the old problems, making it easier for players to try a game that was once known for corrupted saves, disappearing quest items and even deleting system files during uninstallation.

The game remains a simple, slow-paced dungeon crawl rather than a lost RPG classic. It draws on D&D’s third-edition rules but offers limited character choices and a basic story: a backup party arrives in the ruined city of Myth Drannor after the original adventurers are lost. Its turn-based battles and straightforward challenges can still be enjoyable as a low-stakes diversion.
