Combined Patch 1.02r7 Updates:

Launcher
- Various bugs have been fixed that could under some circumstances cause Movie installation to fail.
- Clearing the log file could sometimes fail if the file had been redirected by Windows to the VirtualStore.
- Someone requested a quick way to change the theme music (Sorry, I lost the e-mail), that option is now available by right clicking the Speaker icon with left click used for muting. MP3 & WAV files are supported.

Combined Patch 1.02r6 Updates:

Launcher
- Numerous bugs with the Movie installation option have been corrected with this release, with 1.02r5 the movies were copied but the correct change to options.cfg was not being made. Thanks to RKOViper for reporting the issue. If you installed the movies with 1.02r5 please uninstall and reinstall to trigger the options.cfg update.

Patch
- The patch should now automatically disable the electronic registration window that pops up after a fresh installation of Klingon Academy and this patch has been completed.

Combined Patch 1.02r5 Updates:

Launcher
- A Movie Installation option has been added. When used this will automatically copy all Klingon Academy movies from the original CD media to the correct location on the users hard drive, this will remove the need to use the CD's when playing the single player campaign.
- A log viewer has been added which makes use of the d3demu.log file provided by Komat's wrapper, when opened via the launcher it displays information for the last game session only.

Game
- There was a minor error which caused the wrong debriefing cutscene to be shown in mission 9.

Patch
- The patch should now automatically detect your Klingon Academy installation directory whilst also providing the option to manually select a different directory if you have multiple installations. By default the patch will look for a registry key left by the original Interplay installer.

Combined Patch 1.02r4 Updates:

Launcher
- The settings page should now load faster.
- Theme music should now play as expected.

Combined Patch 1.02r3 Updates:
