Versions

Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

The original release of the game. The game was released several times by different publishers. Current patch is Update 4.

The Northern Expansion

The official expansion pack added additional quests and new buildings to the game. Two bonus quests are available to download from the website. Current patch is Update 2.

Majesty Gold Edition

This contains Majesty as well as The Northern Expansion, as separate programs. It is not compatible with the bonus quests. Gold Edition contains the previous patches.

Majesty Gold HD

Majesty and The Northern Expansion bundled together, now a single program. The bonus quests are included. The game has been rewritten to run on Windows Vista and Windows 7, and no longer runs excessively fast on modern processors. Resolution can now be changed, and the game supports widescreen monitors. Owners of the Steam version of Majesty Gold Edition are given a free upgrade to Gold HD, and buying Gold HD from Steam also installs the original Gold Edition.

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.

For Steam: In the library, right click on Majesty Gold HD, and select properties. Select "Set Launch Options" and add -useddblit -blitmovietobackground.

For other versions: Right click the Majesty shortcut and go to properties. Add -useddblit -blitmovietobackground to the end of the target line.

Fast scrolling

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