Game Crashing when hitting a New Level
 

Everytime whether its the old Demo or The New full Version I brought today, The game is crashing when I level from level 1 to level 2.
It loads and displays the level 2 screen to choose a reward then kicks me back to desktop.
System Specs
Amd 2.4ghz
1.5g ram
Geforce 6200

Game Runs perfect except for this problem.
Solutions I've Tried as follows
1) upgrading game patch to V1.65
2) disable vert sync
3) disabling sound
4) updating direct x
5) updating graphics drivers
6) updating sound (realtek) drivers to 406
7) changing game compatibility to old version windows

Doesn't seem to solve the problem
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think this is a graphics or compatibility issues because only happens when I level.

Cheers

Try to update you game to version 1.7.
And also send dxdiag report to our support team (support@1cpublishing.eu).

I tried upgrading to the 1.7 patch but it gives me a "cant find CD" error message that I cant get past.

dxdiag sent.
Cheers

Did you use appropriate patch? Who is the publisher of your game?

I downloaded the patch from this site, publisher hmmm on box it says
Katauri Interactive, 1C Company, Atari.
When I try to install the 1.7 patch from this website it says "newer version already installed do you wish to continue"
I click yes, then i get this message "Wrong disc inserted.
Please insert the original "Kings Bounty" CD/DVD.
Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=wrongdisc for further, more detailed information."
so yeah

So your publisher is ATARI and you shoould look for their patches(or Nike-it will give you direct link tomorow )

1.65 patch from this site works fine, 1.7 doesnt.
Also Atari dont have any known issues for this game on there website or available patches.
As per below -
" Downloads & Patches for King's Bounty
There are no downloads or patches for King's Bounty at this time. "

Also I seem to get some gameplay at the moment as I changed these two settings
setf ~in_mem_maps 1
setf ~in_mem_arenas 1
As per the technical support section of the game manual.
Bascially if I save the game prior to hitting a new level or goin through a new area portal and then re-load that save after it crashes, the game then works 50% of the time, sometimes it crashes again.
Cheers

Damn, Im stuck on level 4 now and cant get to 5 at all.
By goin through all the posts on this forum with similar problems to mine it seems that the problem lies with a sound error when hitting a new level.
Thoughts ?

Did you download this patch? http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=4947

No I didnt thanx Nike-it, will try it asap.
Odd that Atari don't have that in the patch section for KB.
