what version/distribution is my game??
 

Hi,
I have just purchased a boxed version of Kings Bounty online (English it seems).
The game installs under: ..\program files\1c company\king’s bounty
When run it displays version 1.6.4 (build 34,502).
I tried the update to version 1.7 (multi language) and (after a clean reinstall) 1.6.5 atari.
Both updates cause the copy protection to fail, and not recognise the DVD.
What is my version of this game??? What patch should i use?

i feel a little cheated...

(i'm in australia)

Hi, Please make a shot of the box and post it here. Then I'll tell you what version you have.

here is a screenshot of the box

Very strange BOX, haven't seen such. Can you give me the link to the shop you bought it?

I purchased the game here:

http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/lon...p?gameid=16798

It says published by atari on the website but there are no atari markings on the box/manual etc...
and the atari patch does not work.. it doesn't recognise the dvd after patch.

The patch for this version (published by !c Publishing) is not released yet, but very soon it will be.

This is silly, how many versions of the same patch will this company have to make?

every time!

I have the same box as you do.
You may try to copy the kb.exe which is currently working for you.
Then update to 1.6.5.
If the kb.exe is not working, copy the old kb.exe and try.
It is working for my case.
However, no matter what version it shows up, it always display the build of "34502"

That looks like the American version (I live in the U.S.).

So maybe the patch for the American version will work.

i am in Hong Kong,

the bought the same box of game as in photo,

i wish i can have the patch also :(
