Had the same problem after upgrading my gfx drivers, went back to old version, and the crashes stopped. The graphics will still spazz out at times (will suddenly get low frame rates and objects popping in and out) but it doesn't crash anymore.
So as a stopgap measure, just downgrade the drivers. I went back to the earliest WHQL certified win7x64 drivers, but they don't have to be that old as the drivers I used before I upgraded were only a cpl months old.

I'm still crashing with the WHQL Nvidia driver that came out a week or two ago. Rolling back would be an unfortunate solution as this driver version added support for Flash acceleration.

Yes the newest one causes a crash. There's no problem to roll back the driver, play the game, and roll back to the new one again, as you don't need to reboot inbetween anymore.

What method are you using to swap back and forth that won't require reboots?

Just doing the regular driver install (from the driver folder, not device manager).
Doesn't ask for a reboot at least.

I rolled back. 191.07 seems to work where 195.62 (and the beta version of it) didn't. I played for a couple of hours. We should try to make Nvidia aware of the issue; I think we're more likely to get a fix from their end than from Katauri's.

I reported the bug to NVidia and Support told me that they're going to try reproducing the bug on their end. I directed them to this thread. Here's hoping we'll see something about King's Bounty in the next driver release notes.

yes, Nvidia drivers as of late have been creating problems in many "older" games. It's possible to play the game without crashes using previous drivers, however it's a pain in the ass if the user also plays newer games that benefit from the optimizations in recent drivers.

Yeah, huge pain. I encourage the rest of you to submit support tickets as well. You don't even need an account, just an e-mail address. Here's what I sent them, feel free to just copy it:

The problem is with King's Bounty: The Legend and the 195.62 driver under Windows 7 64-bit (and possibly under Vista 64-bit as well) where the game will crash at seemingly random times, but always provide the same error message. The issue is documented as happening to several people using the same driver in this forum thread: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...815#post120815

Myself and another person with the crash issue stop experiencing it when we roll back to version 191.07, so we're lead to believe there is a bug between 195.62 and King's Bounty: The Legend.
