I wish they'd make a modern remaster of this.
This is a FANTASTIC Real Time 4X Strategy game especially for playing Skirmish mode on large maps, but it's always suffered CTDs and ever since the last major Windows update it's been lagging and stuttering a lot, and when I check the task manager it's using way more of my CPU than should be possible.

I really REALLY wish they'd reboot this game with better graphics (like more unit detail) bigger maps and revived multiplayer and market it aggressively, maybe cash in selling a couple of DLC factions with new campaigns.

Do you have a NVidia graphics card? A couple of us have been having major stuttering and we found it related to the Nvidia drivers. Somewhere around 461.40 appears to be the culprit. If you use an earlier driver, it should fix that stuttering.

As for a new Kohan, Timegate is bankrupted, so it won't come from them.

We do still play multiplayer if you wish to join us. The group isn't large but we have become more active again as of late.

Oh man that sucks, rolling back GPU drivers isn't a good solution because that affects alot of other games, we should all report the issue to Nvidia.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. It definitely wouldn't hurt.

This isn't the only old game that is affected by the Nvidia drivers. Sins of a Solar Empire, for example, has the exact same problem. However, their developers almost seemed to have foreseen such a problem and added an option in the game (I believe it's called software mouse cursor), which fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, KoW does not have such a solution.

Not Sins of a Solar Empire too. oh man, some breath taking one of a kind games.

I hope important pieces of videogame history aren't just lost due to negligent driver updates.

yeah the developer ran into some problems was an interesting story if you can find it on the net still.. they also made a similar game called axis and allies was good too. wish the guys who did the art and balance to this game where more well known they really crafted a little well balanced jewel. If they ever read this id like to thank them for their art. its like homeworld or stronghold, company of heroes...you can see the love they put into each character with barely any assets. if they took the originals and add modern visuals and buff it it modern ai, even more character depth, making them even more human relatible, etc but don't add a lot of make work clicking or crazy level too much stuff to control and remember like later stuff it would be great. heck original total war was like a kurosawa film i had hoped they would build the characters even more in depth and more in the castle intrigue etc... instead just added zillion troops. anyway maybe someone make some emulator that's easy to use for all instead of some crazy virtual machine software you got to learn and find all the dll drivers for...
