Playing without DVD--how did I do this?
On my old computer, I somehow had it so I could play my retail copy of The Legend without the DVD in the drive. I thought maybe this had something to do with buying and installing Armored Princess (which I did via Steam), but on my new computer, I've done the same, installed The Legend and then installed Armored Princess, and it still requires the DVD to play The Legend.
I truly have no idea as to how I accidentally accomplished this, but as I have a laptop and don't want to carry a pile of DVDs with me, it was rather nice. (I'm hoping The Legend perhaps becomes one of Steam's daily deals; I'd pick it up again just to have it on Steam and not need the DVD.) Any ideas?

It depends on which copy of of KBL you have and which patch you use. I purchased the atari copy (I'm in usa) when it first came out; and there were issues but atari did not release a patch (lucky for me I was not patient because it took them MONTHS to release it); but the folks here assure me that the offiical Russian patch worked just fine; that patch also removed dvd checked (I can check which version when I get home). Since the game rusn fine this way I've been reluctant to apply the final patch for fear it will re-instate dvd check.
Anyways if you have the atari version then one of the Russian patches will remove dvd check. Quote:

Ah, that must be it! I must have had the good fortune of installing the correct Russian patch.
 I'll try installing the USA patch and see what it does. If it doesn't disable the DVD check, I can always uninstall and reinstall and find the patch that does. Thanks very much. I love not having to worry about the DVD.

Well, I installed the latest US version, which was I think 1.7, and it didn't disable the check. Had a funny name, too. Mobulis or something.
So I guess there's no dice with the USA versions of the patches, even though I have the USA release of the game. Can't say as I blame them, but dang it, I'm hell-bent. So, I've uninstalled, will reinstall from the DVD, and then try the Russian patches, starting from the newest, and hopefully get lucky! I did it once before; otherwise I wouldn't have even known it was possible til I posted here.

Did you download the patch from here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=4947
If it says Nobilis patch, then you download the wrong one.

I think I got it from the King's Bounty site, but I must've somehow gotten the wrong one! I'll try this one. Thanks very much!

Nike --
Do you know when there will be a no-dvd patch for the atari version? Also will the Russian version 1.7 work with the atari version? I think I'm running 1.6.4 which runs fine; but wouldn't mind the balances for 1.7. Alas per this thread I don't really want to upgrade if it means I have to start using the dvd again. Quote:

Thanks! Hopefully it will work without reinstalling; but I can do that if needed I guess; should I uninstall the russian patch first; or uninstall the entire game and then install from dvd then 1.7 patch or just try the 1.7 patch with current install.
