Hi, I'm new to this forum but I wanted to chime in to say that I've also had trouble getting Knights Kingdom to install properly. First, I mounted the .iso and ran the setup.exe as admin. It gave an error at 90% which I have attached a screenshot of below. However, the installation did complete, and I was able to boot the game. At first I booted it with no compatibility options and while it did run, the movies were not displaying at all. I've run into the same issue with Legoland, so I knew how to fix it. Simply run in compatibility mode with XP Service Pack 2, 16 bit color, and run as admin selected. Great! The game launches and the movies play perfectly. However, when I began the game, I was met with only the HUD, audio, and a black screen where the 3D game environment should be. Interestingly enough, when you hold down the left mouse button, the 3D environment will actually appear, cutting off some of the HUD, but it is not rendered properly, and will disappear as soon as you let go of left click. I did manage to fix the bad rendering effect by changing the in-game graphics setting from hardware to software, but that unfortunately did not fix the black screen issue. I then found out that clicking right mouse while holding left mouse will keep the 3D environment visible, but it will cut off the UI and not render speech bubbles properly, so it is not a viable fix. So I decided to go back into the .iso itself and try running DirectX7a.exe manually, with the same compatibility settings and got another error, which is the third attached screenshot. Obviously this is the crux of the issue, DirectX 7 is not compatible with Windows 10. I've done some digging and there doesn't seem to be any way to get DX7 on Windows 10 normally. I know that LEGO Rock Raiders uses dgVoodoo as a DirectX wrapper, so I thought that might do the trick here as well. No such luck. I've installed the latest version, and followed the instructions on the website, copying all the proper dll files into the KK folder and configuring dgVoodoo to the best of my ability. The game does not seem to launch with the dgVoodoo wrapper at all I think, because I cannot see the watermark when the game is running. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to trying them! As an aside for anyone else who ran into this: if the text on your computer looks funky after running Knight's Kingdom, it is likely that your ClearType was somehow disabled. Simply type ClearType in the search bar on your windows task bar, and click on "Adjust ClearType text" and follow the instructions, that should return your text to normal. I am happy to provide any additional information that may be needed to solve this issue, please feel free to reach out with any and all suggestions regarding dgVoodoo and DirectX7!
