The only SoD version that works is the one downloaded from Steam that says
Code:
[xxx xxx nn nn:nn:nn 2010]00000:Starting EverQuest (Built Dec 19 2008 15:22:49)
in dbg.txt when you run it.
There is no DVD release of SoD, it was available by digital distribution only. The only versions available on DVD that will work are Titanium and Secrets Of Faydwer.
From your description of your problem, it sounds likely that your version of SoD is not the same as the one that we support, i.e. it is an older or newer build with slightly different opcodes.
