Hy, I have the same problems starting to run this game. Please if someone have experience with this. Maybe, someone is here to know!??
Is there a problem with graph. card because also i have ATI radeon 9200 SE!?
Thank you for your answers!!

If I'm not mistaken, the upcoming patch will solve this problem. I'll post the link, when it's available.

Thank you very much for your answer. Lets wait patch then!
Will game work with gd ati 9200 SE 128 Mb!?

I think yes, but can't prommise, as your card is rather weak.

Thank You!
 

Well, thanks for addressing this problem, at least i know its graphics card/system requirement problem. i hope they do release a patch. cause i dont want to buy a new computer then finding out that the game is just buggy and not hardware related. i know my PC is kinda old, but i was able to play world in conflict, which is graphically more intensive and demanding.:grin:

OK, here are a few answers:

1. The r_path error is easy to fix. Go to the King's Bounty Data folder and find the default.ini file. Open and edit it so the line that sets the r_path "ps20" reads that it sets the r_path "auto" This solves the problem.

2. That being said, nobody (including me) who has a Radeon 9200SE or similar card can play the demo. We all get an error regarding our pixel shaders. (It reads like a DirectX call error.) This is because the game (even the demo) require the use of Pixel Shader 2.0 to play. The ATI 9200/SE series only support Pixel Shader 1.4. Make sure that you have a card that can support Pixel Shader 2.0 before you buy the game.

I bought this game today, and I had the same problem !

I did this :

Go to the King's Bounty Data folder and find the default.ini file. Open and edit it so the line that sets the r_path "ps20" reads that it sets the r_path "auto"

Now, I have a second problem :

I have a black screen with a microsoft message :

"kb.exe a rencontré un problème et doit fermer. Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour le désagrément encouru."

What can I do now...
