Star Trek: Klingon Academy

I have had bought the Game 25 years ago and played many hours!

Had found the 6 CDs again last week and tested.. still works with Win98 SE.
With the patch it is running on new hardware - this is pure gold!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

LOVE THIS GAME IF I CAN GET IT TO WORK

Works on Windows 11
I just installed using DVD image,aplied patch from https://www.klingonacademy.com/downloads/showcat.php?id=14 (chose the english one below the german one or the game will end up with german language).
No problems for now but i didn't try campaign yet.

Downloaded the DVD.iso but game does not install. Running Win11 and installer freezes when it gets to Registering Fonts and will not progress.

I thought I ought to point out that there is a new revision of combined patch, which has a newer (and better) version of the DirectDraw DLL replacement.

I just did a clean reinstall (using my self-created DVD image, which seems to be the one available here, as it checks as identical using SHA-160-bit checking) and using the latest version of the Combined Patch (r9), and the game is running totally flawlessly for me on Win10x64, final released build. (I have not tested it on Win11, because I'm trying to avoid the supposed "upgrade" for as long as I possibly can. I have a couple of mini-PCs running Win11, but they're not really gaming-suitable... though they MIGHT do fine with older software like this!)

The "combined patch" is basically the following, all combined with an installer:

1) Official v1.02 Patch

2) Official v1.02 Screenshot Fix

3) DirectX (DirectDraw-to-Direct3D) Rendering fix (due to Microsoft eliminating directdraw)

4) Multhreading/Heap Corruption Fix (not necessary for me, but does no real harm, either)

5) Mission 9 Cutscene Fix

6) Replacement Launcher - This allows you to set "modern" graphical quality enhancements. I run my version with 1280x1024 resolutionand with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering at "Max allowable" settings. You can set to, for example, 1920x1080, and it works fine, but the movies and "static" screens are stretched, and I don't care for that personally.

Trust me when I tell you, with this patch, this game runs perfectly, just like new, only better. :)

There are a few places you can get this patch, but the "original" location is Komag (Jidi Dvorak's) home page, and it's gone now. I encourage you, instead, to go to https://www.klingonacademy.com/ (it requires a sign-in for downloading files, however, but I've never received any unsolicited emails from there, so I consider it "very safe") There, you can download the combined patch, or the individual sub-patches, plus a lot of other material, and there's a game-specific forum as well.

In my view, this is the best "space combat" game of all time... at least to date. A DRAMATIC improvement over the somewhat lackluster "Starfleet Academy" game which preceded it. Nothing else quite compares... especially if you make use of "Voice Control" instead of keyboard commands to control your bridge crew! (And yes, it works flawlessly with "VoiceBot," currently the best voice control software out there!)

UPDATE: The DVD repack version appears to be virus free. I downloaded it fine, extracted it, moved to desktop and mounted with DAEMON Tools Lite. The game loaded but was unplayable due to display glitches so I downloaded the combined UK/US patch from moddb.com/games/star-trek-klingon-academy/downloads/combined-patch-102r7-english
The patch is really simple to work, you just download it and run it and it automatically finds the game file locations and patches them. After that, the game works great but I think I need a joystick because targeting is HARD.

is there a guide on how to install and use this program? do i need an emulater to play this. im lost as of what to do.please help

The download speed I got on here was good, not sure what Lamhac was complaining about...
I grabbed the DVD repack and installed - it did hang on registering fonts, but I installed the community patch (was only able to find 1.02r07) but in the game, when I start, it asks for disc 2. Not sure if the installation failed or I have the wrong patch or what.

Works like a charm. Get the ISO or the repack, download the Combined Patch, which can be found on moddb or on their forum (linked here in the comments by many others). Current patch is 1.02r09 which fixes the launcher, graphics, and other things for a relatively smooth experience on Windows 10.

Also anyone complaining about the speed of this website, which provides it's service for free, while literally simping like some low IQ pleb willing to pay a third-party distributor free money for LITERAL abandonware is a special type of stupid. Not your average everyday stupid but an ADVANCED stupid. It's actually quite impressive the layers of dissonance. Yes that is directed at Lamhac.

Use the ones labeled ISO Version CD#

Use setup in CD1. Then move movies from each CD into the games main folder for the campaign. Then use the Community Combined Patch its on moddb and the KA forums. Last you need is ka_ddraw_1_30

Works, one of the toughest games to play and win at, you will learn or die, great game, and worth your time trying to figure it out!

i am having a problem where when i go to play the game the stars in the game blur and form lines all across my screen when i go to move, also text just add up ontop of its self its like it's just leaving all the frames on the screen at once. help.

so i went to setup.exe to install the game, it said set up actions wasnt responding however the ka.exe file still appeared on my desktop. when i went to play the simulations tho the starfield in the background blurs together like lines. the game is unplayable how were other people able to get it running when we're all dealing with the same files here.

When i go to open the setup.exe file it starts to "register fonts" but then says its unable to respond. help?

I down-loaded the patches and the game but I am unable to play the missions as the game asks me to insert CD 2 to start. The simulator and training perform flawlessly. Thoughts??
