How to install and how to get it working.

1. Download this version of the game (English)
2. Install the game (Dont start once install is done)
3. Download patch 1.6.4 (Rus)"Removes StarForce Protection"

http://files.games.1c.ru/kingsbounty/developers_files/kbtl_v1.6.4_patch_installer.exe

4. Move the downloaded patch file to the directory where you installed the game.
5. Launch the patch, now since the patch is in russian unless you have russian language installed you will see alot of ????????? marks where the patch text displays dont worry about that give the patch about 3-5min to do its work you see when the ???????? marks change and then you can press the button to finish the update.
6. If you have done this correctly it should just be to double click on KB.exe and start playing.
No messing with ini files or copy and paste of folder as suggest by some.
No crack needed no risk of viruses

Peace Color

thanks color that is really fantastic. i can't believe they released a patch to remove their own protection, hahaha

Uploaded a complete torrent for those of ya guys that dont wana fuck about it contains all you need to get started in one packed.
Look for "King's Bounty The Legend with patch 1.6.4 & NoCrackNeeded !!!" or @ http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/4412276

The patch has been out for awhile I used it to get my russian version to work so when I downloaded this english version I said to my self that it might be worth a try and hell it was works great and no major copy and paste or editing of files to get it to play :D

steup.exe hangs whenever i run it (no window comes up, no buttons to press, a sound plays and nothing else)

guess i'll have to wait until someone makes a rip of this :(

@color42

this mean the russian patch 1.6.4 will work with the english kb.exe ?

@heroes99
Yes, been playing it with this patch and patched like I discribe for the last 48h English full game version with the 1.6.4 (Rus)"Removes StarForce Protection" basicly all it does.
(As far as i know my ruskie aint the best, who knows maybe a few bug fixes as well maybe someone can bable fish the patch notes the patchers spits out.)

Before I played on Russian Full game with this patch instead of fucking about with cracks its a offical patch form 1c.

@color42

That is a great news , I think what happen is like you said the 1.6.4 patch remove the starforce protection and it did not alter anything else

So basically after the patch , we get a english KB.exe that free from starforece protection

Cheers

You can get the v1.6.4 official patch which will get rid of the CD check at : http://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/4413430/King_s_Bounty_Legend_ENGLISH_-_NO_CD_Patch

Just install KB - LEGEND from this torrent and use the patch above... that's it.

I've encountered a single bug just now, when asking Mirabella's hand, after doing the tasks required to get her, it instantly crashes to desktop without any error or anything. Ugh.. stuck to the frog.

I am wondering if anyone else encountered this, and if so is it with this same version and the russian 1.6.4 kb.exe or another v.

@ Antiga

Its a general bug in both versions of the game also applye's to one more potential wife its all over the offical forums in the bug list.

Thanks, looks like i'm gonna be stuck to the frog for a long long time then. So useless for a knight =)
Would you happen to know who the other potential wife is?

Yea I remember the zombie wife from the Demo, which is why I didn't take her this time.

There's the Zombie, Frog, Pirate, Dwarf, Elf and Demon wifes, though I coulnd't find which other wife is bugged. The more I read about the wifes the happier I became with my current, because of all the randomness. But next time I won't have 4 kids with 1 wife =)

Going around that forum is bad for one's intelligence, it's as if the people asking questions there are imbeciles... And the answers can be rather retarded as well. Thanks though.

Eh the bonuses they give compared to the items I could put in the slots now aren't as good. I currently get +4 scrolls +10 mana +10% mana and +5% exp. All the mana is nice.. but i'm a Knight, most battles I don't use even half my mana. The scrolls are useless and the exp is barrely worth it. I read on the forums other people for example got +4 and then a +6 scrolls baby.. Sucks even more =) Too much randomness.

Having the same problem as BobEnzyte. Clicking on either setup.exe or autorun.exe (or using an ISO loaded with Alcohol for that matter) does zilch. All I'm left with is a Setup.exe and a setup.tmp (which eats 50% of my proc) in task manager. Out of ideas so any help would be appreciated...

NOTE!
This is a mod not a offical fix how ever it works like a charm so for those that dont want to wait for a fix this is the only current way of fixing the bug.
