Broken Game. Broken Company.

So I've been surfing the web for days now for a solution to the crashes since I purchased both armored princess and legends. I can not play either one! I'm a heavy gamer and I have never had so much trouble with a game or any software as much as I have had with this one in my life... I've literally tried all 170-190 series nvidia drivers for my 8600m gt (even the modified ones from laptop2go and beta driver from nvidia.com), updated my directx, my runtime libraries, my audio drivers, and even my chipset drivers... I've even installed steam and this game on my 2nd computer and it doesn't work on there either. I've tried every solution I've come across from these forums, steam, and google searches aswell with no luck. What does it take to get this game running? Both games literally crash every few mins... How can a company sell a game broken like this? I mean, I haven't even been able to find any official word as to what they plan on doing about this problem or even if they care. It's obviously a huge problem from what anyone can find on this forum and it's all over the steam forums as well. It's very frustrating spending $50 only to end up researching for days on end with nothing to show for it. I've even sent in an email to tech support with my dxdiag reports, and a summary of my problem with no reply(of course it was much more civil and polite than this post), but still no word. Seriously, what's up with this company? I've ran into some horribly buggy programs and poor tech support, but these guys take the cake.

Poor tech support is propably because developers are russian so you have to live with it. Also maybe the company released this game because for 95% of the people this game works without any problems including me.

So in conclusion the game isn't broken and neither is company. There's always people like you who experience problems with some game and nothing built by humans is completely working without anyone having any problems. Hopefully you don't take this post offensive because it's not meant to be offensive just a couple of facts.

Have u tried to change the graphic options / or check the graphics card temperature, or something else, like a background program that is making the game crash? or something else? it is too easy to blame the company for something that is for surely wrong with your computer/system configuration, cuz almost all people playing this game are free of crashes.

Which version of windows are you running? Have you checked your computer for ram or other issues ? I've not had anything problems with either kb games under widows xp (sp2 and now sp3) and either atii (1800) or nvidia (8800gts) graphic cards (but when I switched from ati to nvidia) i had a brief problem due to caching of certain raster images; took a while to figure out what had to be deleted. Also when I upgraded my monitor (old one died) the game would crash on start up and I had to manually edit the config file to add in the new resolution (the old one had a resolution that was not valid for the new one).

I will admit that kb-tl (the first game) is a bit buggy prior to patches but the steam version is already patched (I purchased the atari version first day it was available (i think 1.5) and had to patch it to 1.6 (russian patch) to get it to run correctly (atari refused to release a patch; not sure if they have - i don't think they ever did and you have to go through 1c or katurai; but 1.6 works well for me so I never updating to 1.7).

Sounds like your graphics card is overheating. All the drivers in the world won't save you from that.

Do you own two laptops? Or does one have a dedicated graphics memory Block? Laptop class computers often do not have the guts to do 3d rendering except of the most basic kind, so that is something I would worry about.

Easiest way blame to be broken and horribe .. no matter that hundreds or thousand poeples had no even single crash. If the game would be broken no one could play it. Problems are mostly in gamers PC's not with the game it self. Every game has some little problems.Game isnt perfect thats true but it isnt so bad. I finsihed both games 3 times with no single crash.... spending in total over 100 hours ..

AND Helping through the internet when u dont really know what is installled on user's PC inst easy thing. Sometimes problem lies where we dont even suspect that it can be the cause. Maybe something with hardware , maybe some software in conflict with game, maybe driver .. millions of possibilities ^^
No i do not work for this company, just i know how it is ^^

But of course technical suppport should at least try to help customers.

All new laptop computers pass by far the requirements for KB and AP (even with a integrated graphics card). In fact, i play from a laptop, on 1650x1080, and the game runs perfect. Playing from a laptop is not the problem for sure.
