%appdata%/GOG/DungeonKeeper2/For copy pasting: The common suggestion is to use DKII.exe to play singleplayer and DKII-DX for multiplayer games, or depending on which patch version you prefer. Games saved with different versions are not compatible, it will not load correctly if you load a game saved with 1.7 DKII-DX.exe with 1.5 DKII.exe and vice versa. With GIM (General Improvement Mod) / GIM Lite installed, DKII.exe is on Patch 1.5, while DKII-DX.exe is on Patch 1.7. GIM 1.05 Lite is recommended if you don't want the balance changes, it also contains level fixes for creature spawning on certain campaign maps in Single Player. However, to use this mod without the mod author's balance changes / creature modification, do not copy over the included 'Data' folder, then get the fixed levels in order to properly attract all units in the campaign. Check this mod's changelog (in the file 'GIMChangelog.txt') for a list of what this mod has changed in the game.įollow the instructions in the mod's GIMReadme.txt to install.
