what version/distribution is my game??

[Mac59]

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

every time!

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

[Metroplex]

That is the ATARI version hence it is American.
Patch is available in 'Patches' section of the KB English website.

[taomony]

however, after i install those patch

it always pop up and said my CD is not correct!

[Goldheart]

I am in the USA and bought this version. It is frustrating to be unable to patch the game.

I have bought it from Romania.
Same 1C version (v1.64 build 34502)

kb.exe = 18.731.008 ; MD5: 282f123f5020efdaa6c4448f2575146b

DVD not recognised after patch 1.65 / 1.7
Works ok if copy kb.exe from the DVD after patch.

I am waiting as well for a 1C version compatible patch.

The version on photo is surely not Atari version, otherwise there would be Atari logo on the box.

Anyway, it's strage to have game with 3-4 different publishers world-wide (Atari, Nobilis, 1C, then russain version with its own publisher, etc...). Every one with different copy protection and patching method. Plus patches with different names but pretty much same features (everything in 1.7 fix list is in 1.6.5 fix list too).

It's downright confusing. If I would suggest anything, it would be to restructure patch section of official site, to better clarify which english version uses which patch, and which one are not having patch at the moment.

Something like: choose publisher (look at the box), then show just patches that go with that version, if any.
