Fixed Knights of honor 1.03 doesn't work

[TippeX]

well from the info, it caused a memory exception area somewhere in kernel32, so conclusion would be that the exe's api calls are fucked (bad params passed), bad rebuild probably, or not designed for the os you're running on the txt file is really an xml file too.. good old microsoft

@Lord marf
You havent actually told us if the game works, with the update but 'without' using the NoCD crack, in other words does it work when you use the original disc to play?

[Lord marf]

Yes, it works with the originals without the no-cd placed on the exe.

Isn't it strange that the crack is only 2.33 MB and the exe more than 5 MB? Just a question

[TippeX]

naw, cracks are usually (really depends on the protection) smaller, as the protection code sections are sometimes removed etc.. but it really does depend on the protection, the cracking method (eg: loader), and the crackers skills

[Lord marf]

Does it matter if my game is in French?

Or my Windows XP Prof. in Dutch?

[TippeX]

not if the game is in english, and the crack too

sometimes cracks work on multi language releases of the game
sometimes they dont...

quite why you'd have xp in dutch and try to play a french game is quite beyond me .. are multi lingual and like to torture yourself ? ;p

[Lord marf]

Not to torture myself, lol. It's just that both languages are my mother tongues.

[Lord marf]

So should I have the english version of the game?

[TippeX]

yup, could be a language issue, maybe the english crack is not compatable with french, you could try looking around for a french crack perhaps one exists
sometimes the language changes can be in the datafiles, sometimes it can however be compiled into the exe, that could be the issue, sadly there is no real way to check, most of the cracks out there are for the english version, as well its the 'dominant' language, so more people have it etc...

[Lord marf]

To see what it would do I installed the KB917422 update of windows XP, and now it doesn't give me the error again,
but it doesn't launch the game at all, nothing happens, so I'm gonna uninstall that update again.

Does someone have another idea? Do you maybe need windows xp home edition instead of pro?

And why is my game in English when I install it on my laptop, and is it not in French? Strange, isn't it. My game is only in French, so that's really odd.
But it doesn't work on my laptop either, so.

[TippeX]

cant see xp home vs. xp pro or whatever really changing things, hmm on the laptop the games in english, okay that rules out the exe having language specific versions.. i still maintain you like torturing yourself however ;p

try running the exe maybe in compatability mode.. really running out of ideas here

[Lord marf]

And it's strange that without the update installed and with the 1.0 crack put on it it works. Too bad the game crashes after a while because the patch is not installed.

[Lord marf]

No Bumping

[BarryB]

Is replying to a 'bump' to say 'No Bumping' considered 'bumping' too? And is replying to a request to not 'bump' considered passive 'bumping'?
