Maps should be added (in Remake's directory) to Maps (for singleplayer), MapsMP (for multiplayer); there is also a directory for Campaigns.
You can find additional community-made maps at https://knights-tavern.com.
You can put your MP3/OGG files into the Music folder of the KaM Remake, and they will be included into the playlist automatically.
Silent crashes:
If the KaM Remake crashes silently during startup, please send the log file to our Discord channel, along with any other information that might be of use.
Low framerate:
If you have ridiculously low framerate in game it might be because your OpenGL drivers are out of date. See the OpenGL version information in the top-left corner of the main menu, it should be at least 1.5.x. If it is less you need to update your graphics card drivers (check your card manufacturers website).
Game errors:
Sometimes when something unexpected happens, you will get an "An error has occurred in the application" message. Please click the "Send Bug Report" button, to send the crash report to us, which will let us acknowledge and fix the issue. Enter your name and email address in the form, if you would like us to be able to contact you about the crash.
