Monkey Harris has released a new version of his patch for Kingpin: Life of Crime.
The Monkey Harris patch has heaps of fixes and improvements, including custom screen resolutions, several download tweaks, console and hud fixes, and it downloads a list of the current Kingpin game servers and adds them to your 'Join Network Server' menu. Plus several other fixes.
Nov 19, 2016 Hello I'm a noob at computer stuff and I have just purchased the game (Kingpin: Life of crime) but it won't load when I start it up and crashes with the text 'Kingpin.exe has stopped working'. I have seen numerous people with the same problem but they have solved it in a way that I don't understand. If someone could run me through the process of what to do and how to get this going I.
Most of the fixes are automatic but if you want to set a custom resolution, turn vsync off, set max FPS, and a few others just click on the patchcfg.exe file to open it and set your preferences.
Just read the patch.txt file for comprehensive information about the patch.
Just unzip the files to your Kingpin folder.
A summary of the new features in ver4 :-

Dynamic lighting tweaks, including much improved performance so that it can now be enabled on Intel GPUs without causing lag.
Improved lighting of see-through surfaces (eg. grills/fences/banners) so that they blend in better with what's around them.
Effects such as flames/sparks/blood/etc are now visible through translucent water/windows.
Shadows are shaded instead of pitch-black.
Game state data is compressed instead of dropped when it would otherwise be too large to send.
Downloads are compressed for greater speed and lower bandwidth usage.
Non-US keyboard layouts are supported for text input, and the cursor can be moved to modify the entered text.
The mouse wheel can be used to scroll the console.
Key binds are retained for each mod.
Screenshots can be saved in JPEG format. The filename is also displayed.
New lasers for instagib mode, including support for different colors.

Has released a new version of his Kingpin Multi Patch. It now contains 5 patches for the Kingpin - Life of Crime Retail (CD) and GoG versions.The patches are:-1) Console clear command disableThis patch prevents the console from being cleared which also clears any chat text. A couple of mods send the clear command for no good reason when a player spawns.2) Console condump command disableThis patch disables the condump command that gets sent along just before the clear command in some mods for no good reason.3) Screen resolutionThis patch allows video mode 6 (1600x1200) to be changed to another resolution.The system is scanned for available video modes and presents them as options for the user to choose. Screen aspect ratio is also displayed.The original 1600x1200 resolution can be restored.The menu entry for mode 6 is also updated to reflect the chosen resolution.4) Audio frequency fixThere is a bug in the Kingpin audio startup code that prevents setting the output frequency to 44100 KHz.This patch allows a frequency to be chosen regardless of the value in skhz.Available frequencies are 11025, 22050, 44100 KHz. The original startup code can be restored.5) Weapon FOVThis patch allows the player weapon to remain displayed when the FOV is above 90.The engine maximum FOV is 160 and this can be chosen.You can download the patch from or I have uploaded it to Kingpin.infoI have applied it to Kingpin on Windows 10 64 bit and it works fine.
If you have any issues then please post in the comments for this post and CD will sort it out.As previously stated this is for the CD and GoG versions of the game. If you have the Steam version you can use the Steam resolution fix which you can download.
