the method posted down below just works fine for now
make a shortcut of MKW.exe -> right-click on the shortcut -> properties -> tab shortcut ->
target: PathToYourGame:\MedievalKingdomWars\MKW.exe -dev86
just put a space and -dev86 at the end and it will work

OK do this guy:

  1. Send to destop MKV.exe (shortcut, of course)
  2. Propertites, type -dev86 -without in target
  3. The game should work now
  4. Dont say thanks, its not my ideal

Just a heads up for anyone in late 2019, this is impossible to play without having the official steam version, idk if it's sneaky DRM or just an idiot oversight by retarded slav devs, but the game will not go to the menu screen if it detects an out of date version, and it won't run if it's offline, it gives you a message saying the version is out of date and needs to be updated, and when you click the button it force closes the game.

For those peeps that can't open the editor.exe, i know your feeling because i tried mostly 10+ times until i finally opened it and can play it now :)

  1. MAKE SURE TO DISABLE EVERY ANTIVIRUS ON YOUR COMPUTER
    Have fun :)

For those of you who experience the problem with the exe's not working and you missed the earlier comments, this is what you should do:

  1. Open the editor.exe
  2. From file, click Open
  3. From there, go to your Medieval Kingdom Wars game directory then go to scenario and select any of the test maps
  4. Open the map and when it loads, click the Test Scenario button. It's the one with a green triangle.
  5. When you're in game, press ESC then click Main Menu screen and you should be good to go.
    I want to play this game but for some reason I have a graphics glitch and the logo and everything else just looks bad than what I've seen in some gameplay videos.

Yeah, the game runs VERY laggy and the AI is horrible. Needs alot of refinement yet.

Something wrong with all of the .exe files in this install. The DOF.exe, MKW.exe, both will not run. The options.exe isn't saving it's setings either.

I found a solution to the "Steam must be running and online"

  1. Find SmartSteamEmu.ini
  2. In the .ini find category "Launcher" and the a line Target = MKV.exe
  3. Change it to "Editor.exe", save it ( it should look like this "Target = Editor.exe"
  4. Now open LAUNCHER.exe or LAUNCHER_x64.exe (depending on your PC configuration)
  5. Go to File->Open and in there go to Scenario and open "Blank Testmap. dofbak"
  6. Just press the green play button and let it load (if it appears as a smaller box open options.exe and change it to your native resolution)
  7. Then press Esc, select "Main Menu" and you're done
    I hope you found my little guide helpful :D

Have you request in the "Game Request" section? The mod team wont even read this because it is out of their reading spot.

It works, but

  1. when you closed the game, I can load the my 『game save' after 2nd
    time to start the game, but can't select any units even buildings after
    loaded.
  2. when you delete your game save file 『Campaign1~9』 from
    『USER\AppData\Local\mkw.
    But it's doesn't help, you still need to delete 『local_saved_data' to let game recognize you're a new player,
    then you can start to play as new Campaign.
    However you still need to do this way every time after you closed the game to enjoy (finger quotes) the game.
  3. This way could let you play as many time as possible as a 『new player',
    but you never can have your own game save.
    ps. I hope my 2 days research could help game crack a lot bit (cross fingers).

The .exe for the editor does work. Click test scenario in the editor. Then press escape (esc). Click main menu. Now you have to choose a name and language. after that your in the main menu of the game.
