AVI Video Fix
This small registry patch will fix problems where the game starts properly but when the videos are supposed to play you are only greeted by a black screen and the game eventually crashes with an MMSYSTEM296 error message. Do not install this patch if you don't experience this very problem!

Screenshot Fix
Another little registry patch which allows you to take proper looking screenshots using the normal PrintScreen button. Please note that this patch will not work together with the Windows Vista & 7 fix as it changes the way the graphics are output and you will always end up with a blank screenshot or a screenshot of your desktop.

Windows Vista & 7 Fix
This unofficial patch created by the mysterious engineering people at GOG.com allows you to play the game under Windows Vista and Windows 7 without experiencing palette corruption or annoying slowdowns. This patch is included in the 1.60 patch and in the GOG.com release. Note that this patch is unnecessary if using Windows 8 as the game functions properly on that system.

64-bit Installer Fix
This is a small fix that includes an alternate installation launcher which is 32-bit so that it can also be run properly on 64-bit systems. You might want to also read the included instructions to make sure that you use the fix properly!

Note that this fix will unfortunately not work on any Polish versions of the game as they use a custom installation program.

Tools & Utilities

Graphics Reader 1.0.2 (The Barbarian)
Using this tool, you will be able to view all of the graphic files that are used by the game itself. The interface is very easy to use and even allows you to view all the graphics in a slide show. If editing graphics is not your thing, but you'd like to take a look at them nonetheless or just simply extract them, this is the tool for you.

Graphics Reader Renamer 1.0 (JBSnorro)
This tool can be useful if you have ripped the game graphics using The Barbarian's Graphics Reader. It renames the file numbers to a more friendly format if designing some software of your own where you intend to use the ripped graphics files. Other than this, it serves no purpose. So unless you're cooking up some software of your own, you don't really need this tool.

Map2Bitmap 16X16 0.7 (Lewin)
This tool takes a MAP file from the game and generates a bitmap using a tile size of 16x16. It could be useful if showing off a preview of your map or if you're creating a page for your campaign.

Size: ~3 Mb

Download

Map2Bitmap 40X40 0.7 (Lewin)
Using this tool you can also generate preview map files from the actual game MAP files. This one generates bitmaps with a tile size of 40x40. Being in full scale, it has potential uses in e.g. mission editors that could load these as backgrounds giving a better overview of what exactly is going on when you're scripting.

Download

Map2Minimap 0.6 (Lewin)
The third tool in the seires. Using this one you can create preview images with the same size as the actual mini-map used by the game. That means that tiles are sized 1x1. Cases where it can be useful are pretty similar to that of the previous two tools. Can also be used for some experimentation.

Mini-map Preview 1.0 (harold)
This tool by harold allows one to create similar minimap previews as the one by Lewin. This one however also allows you to customize the colors that are used by the minimap which could allow you to have some interesting effects in use.

Mission Editor 1.0.5 (Merchator)
This tool is for those who like scripting and don't need much of extra graphical representations of things. It pretty much allows you to load DAT files and then decodes them on the fly. The editing itself is done in a text editor manner, so unless you fancy yourself as quite the scripting wizard, this might not be the most convenient editor at hand today.

Download

Mission Editor 0.9f2 (Thunderwolf)
This tool is quite user-friendly in the mission scripting area as it has graphical representations of what you have scripted in your mission at the moment. It does not support reading MAP files directly though, so you will have to provide a bitmap image of your map in case you also want to see the map terrain while doing your thing.

Style Editor 1.0.1 (The Barbarian)
This editor was released back in the day and its purpose was to allow you to customize the main menu graphics of the games to suit your taste. It also allows you to save the menu graphics as combined style files for easy distribution. Unfortunately it was never much of a success as no style files usable by this editor were ever released.

The Shattered Kingdom 1.20 Patch
This is the earliest patch available for the game series. Since the earliest release of the game was 1.20, this patch was most likely meant for beta testers or for magazine review copies. It supposedly fixes mission 20 so that you can actually win the mission and the game ends properly.

The Shattered Kingdom 1.30 Patch
The second official patch for the game. This update improves multiplayer performance and the serf AI. Furthermore it also adds a reply button to multiplayer messages to ease the sending of these. It also fixes some minor issues with missions not ending correctly.

The Shattered Kingdom 1.32 Patch (Original)
The final official patch for The Shattered Kingdom. This is otherwise identical to the German patch available on the main page, except for the fact that all mission messages appear one entry too early and this also causes mission 20 to crash since the message for that mission points to a blank entry.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.50 Patch
This is yet another patch that was seemingly meant only for beta testers or for magazine review copies. That is because when the game was initially released in Poland, the game was already at version 1.52 so it is actually an earlier version than that of the release itself.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.52 Patch
The first actual patch for the German version of the game. Its main purpose was to activate the Net-Games lobby that used to be available in the game. It also bought forth some changes to the formatting of text in messages and citizen descriptions.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.53 Patch
The first patch for the Polish version of the game. It fixed two major issues in the Polish version of the game, namely the game crashing when pausing the game and being unable to save the game. Some minor issues in the translation were also fixed. Notably it also removed the screenshot function of the game and altered the game pausing function.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.56 Patch
The second patch for the German version of the game. This patch re-enabled the Net-Games lobby as the old lobby had been taken down and ZuXXeZ reverse-engineered a replacement lobby for it. Sadly it also introduced three major bugs: being unable to load saved games, the AI would no longer attack in the new campaign and finally the AI could no longer control its units once they reached a certain amount.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.58 Patch
The final official patch for the game. It brought forth two very welcome fixes. The game would now run correctly when using Windows XP so you no longer encountered random crashes. Furthermore it also fixed the problem with loading saved games. Notably this is the only German patch that didn't introduce any new major bugs into the game.

The Peasants Rebellion Patch Pack 1.0
The very first unofficial patch ever released for the game. It only affects a few mission files and as such the changes are quite meager, but it was the start of something that would eventually lead to a lot bigger things.

Note that this patch doesn't include an updated main executable file, so it is recommended to be installed after installing the 1.58 patch. As a side effect of this it is also compatible with any version of the game.

The Peasants Rebellion 1.58.69/94 PP Patch
This is the first major release of the unofficial patch created by The Knight and The Barbarian. It included all the changes from Patch Pack 1.0 and 1.1 and fixed many more bugs that now could be fixed because the file formats were understood better. It fixed the major problem in the German version where all The Shattered Kingdom campaign messages were wrong, it fixed messages so that they would once again appear properly and improved the tutorial.

It fixes a lot of bugs in the new campaign and also rebalances some of the missions. It also improves the tutorial further and makes fishing generally more lasting in missions.

The Shattered Kingdom 0.73 Demo
The very first demo release of the game. As can be seen from the version number, the game is still quite far from being finished.

The Shattered Kingdom 1.20 Demo
A hugely improved release of the demo version of the game. As can be seen from the build number, this version is pretty much identical in features to the full game (excluding the features which have been removed because it's a demo). The most noticeable difference is no doubt the brighter color palette.

The German demo version has a noticeable flaw where there is no music present whatsoever.

English Translation
The first translation made for the game that was released to the public. Back in these days the file formats of the game were still not known, so the translation suffers from errors as you were not able to alter the length of text strings back in the day. Still it may offer some nostalgic value even today.

English Language Pack
This is the first proper English translation that was released for the game. As the game files had been figured out by now, the length of text entires was no longer an issue and as such the translation is much better than the previous attempt. It uses the official scripts from the first game, but the new strings have not been translated by a native English speaker and as such they are not perfect but they are completely understandable.

It is possible - and not too hard - to run KaM on alternate operating systems. Here's a quick guide. In case of any problems not described below feel free to write on the forums.

Linux

Short answer: use Steam version or install Wine.

Longer answer: There is a Linux version of TPR+Remake r6720 available on Steam. For less experienced Linux users, Steam version is recommended for now, but you can also use Wine (which is what the Steam version is actually using), or Wine helpers like PlayOnLinux or Lutris - both TSK/TPR and Remake should work flawlessly, so you may install your GOG/CD version of TPR and then Remake.

With Remake, in case of sound problems you might want to make sure you have OpenAL 32bit library installed (ie. Arch Linux does not install it with Wine by default). Depending on your desktop environment/window manager, you might run into one of these weird problems that I had in the past:

  • after Alt+Tabbing to another window, you can't click on buttons in KaM - just Alt-Tab to another window and back again. I believe this happens on some DEs/WMs when you have second Remake window (ie. when using map editor) opened.
  • you might have problems with fullscreen mode, so try windowed if some part of the screen is missing

MacOS

As I do not have much experience here, I am leaving a link to the Remake's site which explains how to install TPR and Remake: Mac OSX and Linux - KaM Remake. In general, using MacOS versions of Wine helpers (ie. PlayOnMac ) should just work. KaM TPR on Steam for MacOS - from what I know - will work flawlessly, but does not include Remake.

Historical port of TSK for Linux/MacOS

For those curious - there were native ports of Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom, done for both MacOS X and Linux - you may still find links to Linux demo and Mac OS patches in our Downloads section. These versions are very dated and from what I know include only TSK, what's more, running them on a modern operating system is likely to be a challenge. You may find it interesting that apparently the 'historical version' of KaM on Steam contains something called 'KaM HD', which looks like it was based off Linux native port, that had some improvements over the original TSK.
