Redguard is the first (and only released) game in the spinoff series called The Elder Scrolls Adventures. Unlike the main sequence of Elder Scrolls role-playing games, Redguard is designed as an action-adventure game. The player character is Cyrus, a Redguard mercenary, who returns to his native Stros M'Kai in search of his missing sister, Iszara.

Redguard is the first and only game in the spinoff series called The Elder Scrolls Adventures. Unlike the main sequence of Elder Scrolls role-playing games, Redguard is designed as an action-adventure game. The player character is Cyrus, a Redguard mercenary, who returns to his native Stros M'Kai in search of his missing sister, Iszara. The game takes place in the 864th year of the Second Era, during the Septim Empire's occupation of Hammerfell.

Two sequels; Eye of Argonia and Paradise Sugar, were intended to be released. Due to its poor sales, these games were cancelled and development moved towards Morrowind.

Loading Screens stuck at 95%??

I was doing the Dwemer Ruins quest and after I rerouted the lava back into the ruins, I tried to return to the Ruins but the loading screen gets stuck at 95% loading. I ended up just using console to give myself the Dwemer gears and was able to successfully load into the Observatory and fix the telescope. After I left there and fixed the stones at the Yokudan camp, loading into buildings again get stuck at 95% on the loading screen. Both the bar and General store in the main town. Any suggestions so I can actually finish this game or am I screwed??

Also, I'm playing the dosbox/steam version because Arena, Daggerfall, and Battlespire played on there just fine.

Help! I cant get out of the Dwemer ruins!

So i just completed the scarab puzzle and just as i exit the area, the game crashes! So I find a bug fix where all i have to do is rename a file called “DIG.INI”, enter the new area, then name the folder back. Ok so i try it and it works! Except for the fact that now Cyrus literally falls through the bridge floor and gets stuck on a pillar in the new area because he cannot stop sliding. I have no clue what to do, i am playing the dosbox version i got straight from steam, I haven’t tried playing it in nglide because A. When i first tried it, it was so slow and laggy it was unplayable and B. Even if i did find a way to properly set it up in anxious that it would mean having to start all over again. Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks!

Redguard Mod Manager

I have - The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard - on GOG.com. This is the Glide version, for the better graphics and stretched resolution.

Whilst browsing, I discovered that UESP lists MODs and Modding capabilities. I saw a - Redguard Mod Manager - which has an Unofficial Redguard Patch.

I was unsuccessful with getting this mod manager to launch, with error:

"Java Virtual Machine Launcher

A Java Exception has occured."

I don't know much about Java and Java applications. There is both:

- Redguard Mod Manager.zip
  • Redguard Mod Manager Source.zip

How may I get the Mod Manager utility to work?

Adjust music volume on steam?

Adjusting the music volume in-game doesn't seem to work on steam, do anyone have a solution?

I can adjust the normal volume but not the music volume, I tried changing redbook_volume in system.ini but didn't work either.

Adjusting music volume on gog works fine but the steam version runs better for me so would prefer to play on there

Game freezes every time I meet Richton for the first time

This is the 3DFX GOG version. I get softlocked every time I try to meet Richton after presenting the amulet. Richton opens the double doors, walks to staircase overlooking me in the lobby, and then just stands there. Music is playing, idle animations, but no dialogue and nothing I press does anything. Any fixes for this? Can't find this bug anywhere online

Edit: Alternatively, how might I use the console to skip this bugged cutscene and forcibly progress the quest? It seems "setflag" is the command, but no idea what the flag values are.

Setting up DosBox manually with CD version

Trying to run the CD version of Redguard through Dosbox It's my first time setting up Dosbox and i'm getting the message "Critical Disk Error, RedGuard can not run" after mounting the directory and trying to run the program. I'm using the build PCgamingWiki links to and followed the configure instructions.

In addition i have mounted the cd rom with mount D g:\ -t cdrom. Running c:\rgfx results in the same error. Mounting the installation disk which also contains the rgfx.exe and trying to do D:\rgfx results in the error

DOS/4G error (5004): cfg syntax error - inbalid char after option strong

DOS4G=QUIET

How to improve performance on GoG Redguard

Hi all, I realise that this will unlikely be of any use to anyone but just in case!

The performance of the regular Redguard on GOG is utterly crap but I have a fix.

Download and install the newest version of nGlide you can find. I am using 2.10. Find the nGlide Configurator .exe in syswow64 and copy it along with all 3dfx and glide .dll files in said folder.

Replace all the 3dfx and glide files in the Redguard installation with the files you have copied from syswow64.

If you muck about with dosbox settings too, you should end up with a nearly playable game, still a little slow but 95% better than before.

If anyone wants a video walkthrough or further/in depth explanation, give us a message/leave it in the comments.

This also applies to other 3dfx/glide games. Done this with glquake and it works magically as well.
