Re: how can i get the peasants rebellion to run in windows 7
i wouldnt have written this topic if that had helped so it clearly doesnt solve my problem. it helped it run better on my vista pc though but i dont want to occupy it too much because i transfer dvds to it that i recorded on either of my dvd recorders. i installed that direct draw file in the fix and the result is the same as before i installed it.
The fix should work, so I have no idea why it's not working. Have you tried KaM Remake yet, or do you want to play the original?

i tend to forget to add some important information. as for the remake, until it gets all of the expansion stuff working i am sticking with the original version. i have already played the game enough to see all of the stuff that isnt in the expansion so i want to test the expansion stuff but then i need to get the game working.
I think Lewin might be able to answer your question.

the expansion have several new buildings like the fisher`s hut and a few others. i know because i originally got the earlier version. it keep crashing to desktop the moment i start it on the desktop but run perfectly on the laplop. they use the same system.
As for getting The Peasants Rebellion working on our computers, I'm not sure why the Windows 7/Vista patch didn't work for you. You should also make sure you have DirectX installed although that's kind of standard these days. What happens when you run the game? Does it crash or display incorrectly or what?
On another note you can usually make a virtual machine go into full screen mode so it stretches and takes up your whole screen.

I'd recommend the Remake for multiplayer, but of course I would say that because I helped make it
Or did you mean something else by desync?

Re: how can i get the peasants rebellion to run in windows 7
i need a solution to get it working on my windows 7 desktop so that my vista pc is free to be used for other things. please provide a solution.
- You can save/load your game, you can't in the original game, you had to finish it all in one go
- There are about 100 maps, the original game only had about 10
- You can play against the AI (co-operative)
- You can play online as well as LAN
And also general improvements such as:
- Modern resolutions supported
- Windowed mode
- Graphical improvements
- Faster frame rate (noticeable when scrolling) and more responsive interface
I don't know why KaM TPR doesn't work for you. Maybe you have a dodgy version, if you really want to get it working you could buy it again from Good Old Games (GOG.com) here:
http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/knights_ ... _rebellion
They say that version works on Windows 7, they made a few modifications to make it work (that's where the Windows Vista/7 patch comes from). So if you do want to use TPR instead of the Remake then my solution is to buy it from GOG.
By the way, did you know this is a fan forum and not an official support forum? We have no obligation to "provide" you with a solution, but we are more than happy to offer suggestions.
