Star Trek: The Next Generation - Klingon Honor Guard is a singleplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Star Trek series.

The game requires a procedure to install and fully patch on modern systems.

Availability

Source DRM Notes Keys OS
Retail
Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)
Windows
Mac OS
A free demo version is available from Archive.org.

Essential improvements

Patches

The latest official patch is 1.1, available here.

Getting the game to work on modern systems

Full installation method[1][2]
  1. Install game from disc 1.
  2. Download and install Patch 1.1.
  3. To install the Indeo codec if missing from the system, see Troubleshooting guide.[3]
  4. Download the music files from MediaFire or fdossena.com and extract them to <path-to-game>.
  5. Insert disc 2 and copy the contents of the Avi folder (but not the folder itself) to <path-to-game>\System.
  6. Download modified Khg.ini, extract it and move it to <path-to-game>\System. Alternatively, use fdossena's "life support pack" (with modified khg.ini, no-disc executable and Glide renderer from dgVoodoo 2).
  7. Run the game.

Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
See Widescreen resolution.
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
Use FOV X command.
Windowed
Only for D3D, OpenGL and Software renderers. 3dfx requires a wrapper capable of forcing windowed mode.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
High-fidelity upscaling
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
Always on for D3D, OpenGL and Software renderers. 3dfx requires forcing by a wrapper.
60 FPS
120+ FPS
Scales incorrectly above 120 FPS. This can be partially fixed by replacing bytes 0AD7A33B to 00000000 in Engine.dll. This, however, does not fix softlocks in some cutscenes that happen above 80 FPS.[4]
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Widescreen resolution

Modify configuration file[5]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\System\khg.ini with a text editor.
  2. In the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section, modify the ViewportX and ViewportY to the desired width and height, respectively.
  3. Save the file.

Notes

The game may launch into a black screen; press Alt+Tab ↹ when in-game to resolve this.
Alternatively, use this modified OpenGL renderer.
