Well, I've worked out how to bypass the annoying start.exe. use the /detour paramater for KDREAMS.EXE. Now maybe Admiral_Bob can make kdrpatch!

Yeah, I figured out how to that a while ago. I have a keend.bat file that contains ...

@echo off
kdreams /detour /comp
/comp ... I'm not exactly sure what that does ... I do know that the graphics don't work without that on my computer.

Anyways, was that the reason there is no Keen Dreams patcher?
