Update

got patch to install, apparently I Was been silly and needed to delete the documents/registry files.

new problem though, now it wont register that I have a virtual CD and I just found out there are no 1.2.3 cd cracks. I can install, and uninstall, then re install, or even update, all day... but I cant get it to register my cd. I remember this was an issue before... I cant remember how I solved it then though. I have done the whole compatibility settings so I know its not something basic like that.

I also see no replies to my earlier response... but one reply from Dec of last year..... Anyone else here?

you and me both buddy.

sorry for the -very- late reply, but just so anyone else who sees this knows.

I had this very same issue. I tried looking around, but there are indeed no cracks available, and I've read somewhere else that modern windows doesn't dig securom anymore. I also read that the steam version of kohan 2, here, doesn't have that added layer of securom anymore, and has all the patches ready.

It's a shame, and I'll certainly be keeping my disk with me. but from what I could see, the only option in this case, was to shove 10 euros at steam and grab a copy here.

Bit nihilistic, but I really couldn't find helpful references or old support info that could help with this.

The Msgothic and MAIN thread issues are well documented, and should be the only required steps to get a steam install working, next to possible adding a Date execution exception.

But this securom thing and the game demanding the disk every time ... seems like there is no way around that for anyone without IT degrees.

Ya, I am not willing to repay for the game. It's a nice game but not that nice.

I will just stick to the patch I have that still works, because that too is nice.... almost as nice as the new patch but just nice enough that I am not going to spend more money for one or two little tweeks.

This discourages me though from spending money on the series, if they ever come out with a new addition, or even if they suddenly released some DLC. no thanks, I dont support money grabs like this.

There is no moneygrab involved, this title has been abandoned (which is a damn shame, given how much costumisation and modding is available for this game. Even the damn AI can have it's logic altered, some reallly good ones are available to be downloaded). The only company that gets your money is Valve. The only downloadable content you can get with this is all user made.

yes it is, good day sir.

As I said, Timegate gone bust years ago due to the Colonial Marines scandal and some other decisions that backfired. The title is collecting digital dust. We don't even know who has the IP for this as it has gone to auction a long time ago. There is no publisher/developer greed(moneygrab) involved here. The only people who will have your money is Valve.

P.S.: I am not encouraging you to spend money on the title, however, wanted to make sure you will be aware of the background context.

I said good day sir.

I have the CD Version 1.1.4. I was able to update it to 1.2.3, however, it had a Font fault and would not run. There is a file available that repair a problems with Kohan 1. I tried it on Kohan 2 and it worked. The file name is "KAG and KIS win 10 fix.zip". Give it a try.
