Steam - Version 1.7 Patch

[kenhood]

Hello,

I was playing King's Bounty without problems earlier this morning. This afternoon, Steam automatically loaded the 1.7 patch for the game. Now, when I attempt to load a file from the Eastern Islands or move onto the Eastern Islands from a different location, the game crashes.

How do I resolve this issue?

Thank you,
Ken Hood

I'm experinceing teh same issue, stuck underground (luck's mine). any time I attempt to leave, the game crashes.:mad:

Exact same problem for me; the game was working fine yesterday, but with the 1.7 patch any attempt to travel to the Isles of Freedom crashes to desktop. I can travel to Arlania, Verdon and Marshan just fine, including entering dungeons and combat. But the boat to the isles crashes me 100% of the time. The boat departs, the loading screen comes up and finishes loading, then it crashes.

I'm having the same issue. After the Steam version of the 1.7 patch was automatically installed, KB:TL crashes every time I try to go the Islands of Freedom after asking Kitano.

Yep, that's me too. Is there a way to uninstall 1.7 for now?

[Sinatrapod]

Yeah, given my last 6 hours of savegames are somewhere within the Isles, I am basically boned out of playing the game entirely until something is done about this.

Please send help. :(

We are currently working on this problem. It should be fixed very soon.

[Sinatrapod]

Thanks very much!

[sgtspanky]

please tell me there is a fix for this issue now...
:!::!::!::!::!::!::!:
If not then when will it be fixed?

[sgtspanky]

And when will it be rolled out through steam? :cool:

My first day off in 2 weeks... anxious to play KB all day... BAM! same stupid crash while trying to reach the Islands, since Steam automatically updated my game... :(

Can we hope for a fast ''before the week-end'' hot-fix? :(

Sigh... Why does those stupid bugs ALWAYS happens on a friday? To be sure we have to wait all week-end until next monday for a fix ? :(

Honestly, I’m going to judge this company based on their response to this problem. I've never heard of 1C Company prior to KB:Legends and my first impression of their works was very high. Then of course this happened, you may say that this is just a steam problem but I would say to you if it wasn’t for steam I would have never known or purchased this game. Hints if they would like to tap into "my" market again or gain a new customer of future products they better get on this ASAP.

Nawa: It is a Steam version conflict as other versions do work fine into the Isles and 1.7 has been out for a while. Nike (admin) did post an acknowledgement of the problem early in this thread. Hopefully they get it done for you guys over the next few days.

As for 1C, you should explore their library some day, they make/publish some alright games. They tend to make things that not many other companies attempt these days. Not that every gametype appeals to everyone, so you may not enjoy certain games, but no one else really makes stuff similar to King's Bounty, or Fantasy Wars, or the upcoming Majesty 2 anymore. They seem to have a bit of an influence from the 'classic' gaming days.

Before KB:TL I wasn't familiar with 1C either but on Wednesday, when I noticed Steam did not offer the manual and refered me to 1C for support, I got the manual PDF in less than five minutes (thanks to Karel at 1C). Not only that, but later in the day Steam had finally posted the manual.

In this case, however, we must remember that 1C is the publisher, not the developer, so the issue will surely take some time to be resolved.

I don't know if this is a problem with the patch but I played for a few hours last night and got to level 12, however, when I went to load my recent save I'm only at level 9. Anyone else have this issue?

Also, while I'm waiting for the fix to happen, is it safe to keep playing or will I be wasting my time?

Thank you for the prompt response. Do you have any estimate on when the fix will take place? The game is providing a great deal of enjoyment, and I would like to continue it as soon as possible.

[Cutter]

Can you guys at least get Steam to pull the 1.7 patch so we can reinstall it and play up to the last patch previous to that, because right now I can't progress any further or start a new game. As it is if you uninstall and reinstall from Steam it updates automatically to 1.7 so you're hooped. At least get the broken patch pulled please.

Just wanted to let people know that the transition works if you start a new game after the update.

Ah! Thanks. I'll start a new game.

Starting a new game isn't really an acceptable fix :( I've already put a number of hours into my game.

[Nawafalajmi]

Fix it already!! i wanna play im so far in im not about to restart!

[newsun]

Oh not a fix, just letting people know. I figured I would do the leg work and test it out as I wanted to play and see.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Try to load a save game in Eastern Island and it crashes after the loading screen completes. Zero problems before 1.7.

1.7 should be immediately removed from Steam until this is resolved. I can't believe this made it past 1C's QA...

Vista 64bit.

[Brilhasti]

Just adding here, I'm having the same problem.

My old saves are half the level of my current character so I'm not interesting in re-playing from an old save nor am I going to start from scratch.

I'd appreciate some speed in the fix for this. I've paid for a game I cannot (for all intents and purposes) play.

[zeker]

Would be nice to have some sort of ETA for this.
Tried to play just now, only to find out that non of my saves are working.

Please do inform us on when we can expect a fix on this problem.
