Kohan II : Kings of War Fatal Error (thread MAIN Caught Unhandled Exception - Violation (C0000005) Trapped at 23:431f55)
Hello everyone,

I have recently downloaded the Kohan Warchest from Steam. I played Kohan: IS a ton as a kid and never got ahold of Kohan: AG or Kohan 2. I was very excited to play through a favorite game of mine and finally after 20 years play the prequel and sequel. Yet I ran into some issues. I was able to resolve the ones for Kohan: IS and AG, but am still having issues launching Kohan 2. I am still running into the thread issue when launching the campaign. I tried to include a screenshot below, but was not allowed to in Steam.

I have tried changing several settings on my device and activated features from threads I have read below. I am currently running a newer HP Laptop that should be more than powerful enough to run the software. It destroys the original HP I played the game on in 2003.

2023 HP Envy X360
16 gigs of ram
i7 12 Generation
NVIDIA Geforce 2050 RTX Mobile
Running Windows 11 Home

I have tried changing the DEP setting to per a thread I found on Steam with no success. I have linked it below.

I have also tried activating some legacy drivers and settings per another post on Reddit, this one on general Unhandled Exceptions for Steam. I have included the link below.

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/xw6qek/how_to_fix_unhandled_exception_error_when_trying/

- Ran the software as an Administrator
- I have turned on and installed .NET 3.5. (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
- I have reinstalled DirectX and verified it is 9 or above. (Currently run 12 with a clean install)
- Lastly, I installed PhysX (Legacy) for the video card. (Currently running NVIDIA PhsyX (Legacy) 9.13.0604)

Unfortunately I have had no success and keep returning to the same error. I am currently looking for documentation to be able to read the logs online from Timegate. They closed in 2013 and documentation is hard to find, but I will keep searching.

I was hoping that someone might have other suggestions to try and resolve this issue with Windows 11. I will continue to look and will post if I find any solution in the meantime.

Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions.

"The Kohan will rise to glory!"

Hi there,
I'm not sure if it will be of any help(didn't tried Win 11 yet), list of changes you've made miss one essential thing which is to run it in Win XP compatibility mode, not sure if it can help you(game can still crash, but without message about fatal error).
Please keep our community informed on your progress, I'm personally interested in knowing how stable Kohan 2 is running on Win 11 system as it may force me to migrate my mod to Unity engine and technically "creating new" game.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried and ran it manually in Windows XP compatibility mode and also using the Windows 11 automatic compatibility tool to run the software. Sadly no success. Still get the same error when trying to get past the menu.

I have also had crashing on Kohan IS and AG since the last update for Windows 11 and am investigating this on the side.
