KQ Collection (2006) Patch doesn't work

Is the game being a ROYAL pain? Need a hint? Got a problem? This is the place to discuss King's Quest!

KQ Collection (2006) Patch doesn't work

Post by YeOldeSierraFan » Sat Aug 22, 2009 2:18 am

Hi

I had uninstalled my KQ Collection w/ patch, which was working fine, but I deleted it to save space.

Now I re-installed it, and when I played the games normally (without patch) there were color errors, so when I used Collector's patch, it made it so it erased the kq Collection launcher, made the games individual files, and when I tried to open any of the games, the DOSBox launcher opened, showed the DOSBox logo, then closed. It's done this with every try.
What's going on??

The Launcher is only compatible with DOSBox .65 and earlier. Redownload the patch and don't install the collection in the %ProgramFiles% folder or any other system folder.

Try something like "C:\Sierra\King's Quest Collection"
01000010 01111001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100001
