Just encountered this problem. I just installed the patch, and now I'm getting the "emulator detected" bug. Now I can't play at all.

Please address this ASAP!!!!

You could try using the game executable from the Russian 1.6.4 patch, that doesn't have SecuROM - though if the non-DRM related changes in patch 1.6.5 also affect the exe file, you might experience some bugs that were fixed in that one. Still, the occasional bug is better than not being able to play the game at all.

Another problem here.
Installed the game and it ran fine.
Immediately installed the patch and now I get the message
"wrong disc inserted ... " - disc is apparently not recognized

Back to uninstalling, I guess.

Same problem here, fix the patch !

Id like to see this get solved at some point, I still cant play my kings bounty and Ive been too lazy to try uninstalling it. has anyone tried contacting atari about this? I cant get into their support section, somehow it doesnt recognize my IE, very weird

If you uninstall and reinstall, it works fine. That's what I had to do.

Hello guys,


we are investigating this issue with Atari. Hopefully we will be able to solve this soon. We are sorry for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

I buy the game and cannot run also because of the SECUROM problem.
It is originally in patch 1.6.5.!!

Via the help from SecuROM support, the game can run now but in 1.6.4.

I have the spanish version of the game. I had to install the english patch version since no spanish patch is available.

I had the same problem described here, and all I did is overwrite the patched exe with the one found in the original DVD. Hope this helps.
