Issues fixed
Majesty on Modern Systems
The original versions of Majesty will run on Windows Vista and Windows 7, however the game will be unstable and might crash frequently. A new version of the game is available that fixes a number of compatibility errors with current Windows versions and officially supports them.
For older versions of the game the following command line arguments may be used:
majx.exe -nothreadedcursor -useglblit
The command line is for Northern Expansion pack. For base game simply replace the executable name with majesty.exe. No extensive tests were done with this command line, however a several mission playthrough has indicated that game becomes more stable when these parameters are used.
Gold HD Edition Not Responding
On some systems (particularly those with Intel graphics) Majesty Gold HD may not work properly. On loading the game there may be a blank screen, or after the opening movie, the menu appears unresponsive (although it is actually working, but the screen is updating). To fix this, you need to append -useddblit -blitmovietobackground to the launcher's command line arguments.
Fast scrolling
- On older versions of Majesty, faster computers could cause the game to scroll excessively fast.
