I patched the game to 1.6.5 and the game show an error:

"Wrong disc inserted.
Please insert the CD/DVD."

Then I replaced the kb.exe with the one working for 1.6.4, the game is now running in patch 1.6.5.

I tried this when I got the emulator error after installing the patch again. It appeared to load up fine with the old kb.exe and showed the correct patched version 1.6.5 on the menu screen. Not sure what is in the kb.exe that it doesn't like. It may mess something else up I am not aware of yet during playing.

My solution - Send an email to Securom with your Analysis Log
 

Hi All,

I'm from Australia and I bought a genuine copy from CD WOW (shipped from Hong Kong) (and no, this is not a marketing message). Anyway, I couldn't play at all - unpatched or patched with 1.7 (Nobulis) or 1.65 (Atari). It said either:

- "Wrong CD", or
- "Emulator... Conflict", or
- "You can't even start a game, YOU SUCK!"

Ahem... I tried re-installing 5 times, and guess what? Nope, it didn't do a thing. I even kept switching kb.exe from the game cd, and guess what? Well, it didn't budge.

- SOLUTION - (for me at least)
Follow the instructions from Securom to produce an Analysis Log file from your kb.exe, and email it to them. They emailed me thrice, maybe to make sure that I'm genuine. I was desperate, so I obeyed their instructions. Finally, they sent me a kb.exe which works well so far (level 9 paladin, boooya!)

This was happening to me and I was able to sort it out. You must have the patch compatible with your game version or the emulation error will occur. Evidently there are two versions, each one calling for it's own unique patch. You would think the patch would fail to install if you have the incorrect combination but this is not the case.

If you purchased a retail box King's bounty with the Atari publisher then you want patch 1.65. Make sure the patch does NOT say "Nobilis" anywhere in the name. Otherwise you want patch 1.70, the Nobilis version.

I bought the retail game and being the none the wiser assumed that the 1.70 patch was what I needed (the latest number). That version only comes in Nobilis which I downloaded off a random hosting website. After installing that patch I received the emulator error.

Uninstall the game, reinstall it and then apply the 1.65 patch. AtT any rate, just make sure you do NOT use the Nobilis patch if you did not purchase the game via download or the Nobilis service. If you did, then use the Nobilis patch.

Hope this helps.
