Why there is no separate technical support/bug reporting subforum? Making developers look for bug reports admist the game walkthrough related questions is not a good idea at all. We gamers are the ones most interested in bugs geting fixed as soon as possible so lets at least make it easier for developers to find our bug reports.

Moderators, please split this subforum ("Help") in two separate subforums - walkthrough and technical support ones - and move all technical topics (including this one http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?t=684766 from "General" subforum) to the technical support subforum while there are not so many topics in Risen forums yet.

Because a bug is not always shown by a crash. It can also be revealed by someone just asking for how to complete a quest. See the thread "stuck in the monastery". So the developers had to read both forums anyway.

We currently have only one forum because we want to see how much traffic comes up. Then we'll decide if it is necessary to split the forum.

This isn't the best decision because now you're forcing gamers with tech problems to dig answers from amongst spoiler threads.

I think it would be best to divide gameplay/story problems and tech problems.
