Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view and isometric building game in the Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim series.

The game was expanded with The Northern Expansion in March 2001, and received several patches and downloadable missions for both the base game and expansion pack. The Gold Edition began distribution in 2002, containing both, and was ported to Linux. In 2009, the Gold Edition started being sold on Steam.

On March 21, 2012, the Gold HD Edition was released, with native widescreen support and bug fixes. From 2015 to 2018, the HD Edition received a series of patches which fixed compatibility issues with Windows 7 (mostly slow performance), new multiplayer infrastructure on Steamworks and GOG Galaxy with a DirectPlay-based LAN remaining as a fallback in the configuration file, DirectX 9 rendering instead of DirectDraw, modding tools and the unique demo mission being brought to the core game for the first time.

As of 2023, the fully updated HD Edition remains the definitive way of playing the game due to the absence of outstanding compatibility issues, while the retail version requiring command line arguments to properly run.

Issues fixed

General

Fast scrolling

On older versions of Majesty, faster computers could cause the game to scroll excessively fast.

Change ScrollSpeed in registry (Windows)^{[citation needed]}
Go to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty` (base game) or `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty Expansion` (The Northern Expansion). Open `ScrollSpeed` and change it appropriately.

Edit the configuration file (Linux)^{[citation needed]}
Open up the configuration file and add `<ScrollSpeed>#</ScrollSpeed>`. Replace # with a number.

Windows

Majesty on modern systems (pre-HD)

The original versions of Majesty will run on modern operating systems, however the game will be unstable and might crash frequently.

Command lines^{[citation needed]}
Run `majesty.exe` or `majx.exe` with the following command lines: `-nothreadedcursor -useglblit`

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).

Command lines^{[citation needed]}
Run `majesty.exe` or `majx.exe` with the following command lines: `-useddblit -blitmovietobackground`

Linux

No sound

SDL library that is included with the game is set to use OSS for sound only.

General^{[citation needed]}

The software is not updated frequently.

Install the osspd package (Some distros like ArchLinux refers the package as ossp) and enable/start the osspd/osspd.service service.

If using PulseAudio^{[citation needed]}
Run the game with `padsp` command (It is included with main PulseAudio package, if not, look for pulseaudio-utils)

If using ALSA^{[citation needed]}

Install alsa-oss package
Load the following kernel modules as root with modprobe command:

snd-seq-oss
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss

Run the game with aoss -32 (On 32 bit system just use aoss)

Fullscreen issue with multiple monitors

Run the game in windowed mode using -w command line. However, due to the fact that the windowed mode is at fixed 800x600 resolution, you may need to use the resolution scaling using xrandr command, if on 1080p or 4K resolution.

The mouse isn't captured in windowed mode

Compile libjail.so^{[citation needed]}

The multilibrary version of GCC and 32-bit version of SDL is required for 64 bit system.

Create a text file and name it jail.c
Copy and paste the content of this script
In Terminal run gcc -m32 -fPIC -shared -o libjail.so jail.c -ldl (If on 32 bit system remove the -m32 argument)
Once compiled, move libjail.so to the main game folder
Point out the file to use before running the game using LD_PRELOAD= command at the beginning.Example:

LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/games/majesty/libjail.so $HOME/games/majesty/majx -w

 ==Issues fixed==
-===Majesty on Modern Systems===
+===General===
-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.
+====Fast scrolling====
+{{ii}} On older versions of Majesty, faster computers could cause the game to scroll excessively fast.
-For older versions of the game the following command line arguments may be used:
+{{Fixbox|description=Change ScrollSpeed in registry (Windows)|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
- majx.exe -nothreadedcursor -useglblit
+# Go to {{Registry|{{p|hkcu}}\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty}} (base game) or {{Registry|{{p|hkcu}}\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty Expansion}} (The Northern Expansion).
-The command line is for Northern Expansion pack. For base game simply replace the executable name with <code>majesty.exe</code>. 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.
+# Open {{Registry|ScrollSpeed}} and change it appropriately.
+}}
-=== Gold HD Edition Not Responding ===
+{{Fixbox|description=Edit the configuration file (Linux)|ref={{cn|date=July 2016}}|fix=
-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.
+Open up the configuration file and add <code><ScrollSpeed>#</ScrollSpeed></code>. Replace # with a number.
+}}
+===Windows===
+====Majesty on modern systems (pre-HD)====
+The original versions of Majesty will run on modern operating systems, however the game will be unstable and might crash frequently.
+{{Fixbox|description=Command lines|ref={{cn|date=September 2021}}|fix=
+* Run {{file|majesty.exe}} or {{file|majx.exe}} with the following command lines: <code>-nothreadedcursor -useglblit</code>
+}}
+====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).
+{{Fixbox|description=Command lines|ref={{cn|date=September 2021}}|fix=
+* Run {{file|majesty.exe}} or {{file|majx.exe}} with the following command lines: <code>-useddblit -blitmovietobackground</code>
+}}
-For Steam:  In the library, right click on Majesty Gold HD, and select properties.  Select "Set Launch Options" and add -useddblit -blitmovietobackground.
+===Linux===
+====No sound====
+{{ii}} SDL library that is included with the game is set to use OSS for sound only.
-For other versions:  Right click the Majesty shortcut and go to properties.  Add -useddblit -blitmovietobackground to the end of the target line.
+{{Fixbox|description=General|ref={{cn|date=August 2017}}|fix=
+{{ii}} The software is not updated frequently.
+Install the '''osspd''' package (Some distros like ArchLinux refers the package as '''ossp''') and enable/start the <code>osspd</code>/<code>osspd.service</code> service.
+}}
-===Fast scrolling===
+{{Fixbox|description=If using PulseAudio|ref={{cn|date=August 2017}}|fix=
-{{ii}} On older versions of Majesty, faster computers could cause the game to scroll excessively fast.
+Run the game with <code>padsp</code> command (It is included with main PulseAudio package, if not, look for pulseaudio-utils)
-{{Fixbox|1=
+}}
-{{Fixbox/fix|Change ScrollSpeed in registry}}
-# Open the Registry Editor:
+{{Fixbox|description=If using ALSA|ref={{cn|date=August 2017}}|fix=
-#* Vista and newer: open the Start Screen/Start Menu, type <code>regedit</code>, press Enter.
+# Install '''alsa-oss''' package
-#* Windows XP: press Windows+R, type <code>regedit</code>, press Enter.
+# Load the following kernel modules as root with <code>modprobe</code> command:
-# Go to <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty</code>
+* snd-seq-oss
-# Open <code>ScrollSpeed</code> and change it appropriately.
+* snd-pcm-oss
-# If you have The Northern Expansion or Gold Edition make the same change in <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlore\Majesty Expansion</code>
+* snd-mixer-oss
+Run the game with <code>aoss -32</code> (On 32 bit system just use <code>aoss</code>)
+}}
+====Fullscreen issue with multiple monitors====
+Run the game in windowed mode using <code>-w</code> command line. However, due to the fact that the windowed mode is at fixed 800x600 resolution, you may need to use the resolution scaling using <code>xrandr</code> command, if on 1080p or 4K resolution.
+====The mouse isn't captured in windowed mode====
+{{Fixbox|description=Compile libjail.so|ref={{cn|date=September 2017}}|fix=
+{{ii}} The multilibrary version of GCC and 32-bit version of SDL is required for 64 bit system.
+# Create a text file and name it jail.c
+# Copy and paste the content of [https://pastebin.com/tpudxRbA this script]
+# In Terminal run <code>gcc -m32 -fPIC -shared -o libjail.so jail.c -ldl</code> (If on 32 bit system remove the <code>-m32</code> argument)
+# Once compiled, move '''libjail.so''' to the main game folder
+# Point out the file to use before running the game using <code>LD_PRELOAD=</code> command at the beginning.Example:
+<pre>LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/games/majesty/libjail.so $HOME/games/majesty/majx -w</pre>
