Launch the game from "Total Annihilation. The elementally-based protagonists include the lands of Aramon (earth), Veruna (water), Zhon (air) and Taros (fire). Go to your game directory, right click "Total Annihilation.exe" and select properties, select the compatibility tabĮnable compatibility mode for Windows 7, enable "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" (scaling performed by Application) and click OK In Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, four equal but dramatically diverse factions vie for supremacy as they strive to conquer the Land of Darien through the use of magic, armed aggression and real-time strategy. Install "TA_Patch_3902.exe," I recommend enabling the right click interface if you are more familiar with modern RTS games, do not launch the game at this pointĮxtract "TA_Patch_3902_TestFix1.zip," copy the 2 files to your game directory, overwrite the existing files

Install "TA_Patch_Resources.exe" first, it will NOT install to the correct location by default, point it to the game directory You need to download the following 3 files (TA_Patch_Resources.exe, TA_Patch_3902.exe, TA_Patch_3902_TestFix1.zip): Go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features, click "Turn Windows features on or off," expand "Legacy Components," check "DirectPlay" and click OK Go to your game directory, go to _CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\ and run DXSETUP.exe Chris Taylor, the genius behind TA, had left Cavedog before development of TAK began. It had very high system requirements (it was the Crysis of its time), and just didnt match TA in gameplay. REMOVE any compatibility settings associated with TotalA.exe, delete the game completely and re install it TAK was almost universally hated by TA players. The default game directory is "Steam\steamapps\common\Total Annihilation\" My advice for the best experience is to follow every step.
