Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

Hi
i have also bought recently a new PC with windows 8 (horrible software :P)
but i didn't have had problems, did you bought it from GOG
or do you have a old version from a cd?
because the GOG version should work with windows 8

Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

Maybe he said something like download from internet what is illegal to do. Provided that you already have one exemplar that you got on a legal way. For example when you bought a CD you are allowed to make one copie of it. In which way you receive that copie doesn't matter. I do not know if this legal for everyone so tell my when i am wrong.

Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

*Illegal solution*
That's not a great solution because he won't be able to install any future KaM Remake versions or updates without TPR installed properly. Did you try using compatibility mode? Right click on the installer exe, properties, compatibility, try Windows XP (that's how it is in Windows 7, I'm not sure about 8)

Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

Workarounds for the Remake TPR check are not allowed. Find a way to successfully install the TPR you have, or buy it for $5.99 from GOG.

We've all had to deal with this..

Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

I always wondered... why does the Remake need to have TPR installed? Can't it just read the files from my original TPR CD instead? (not sure if same would be possible with an GOG downloaded version, which I assume is just a single .exe file) I don't want to play TPR at all, I am 100% interested in the Remake only.

Re: windows 8 cannot instal kam tpr

Can you explain me one thing? Why is it illegal to download KaM, when I already bought this game?

It's not. But that wasn't what was posted here.

TPR check is not because Remake needs any of its files
