I'm also having this problem. Every other battle, and maybe 1/10 times I right click on an item or try to save, the game is shut down by DEP. I tried changing the compatibility setting as suggested above, but it hasn't helped at all...

Is there any hope that this will be fixed? I'm in love with the game but I can't play it like this, it's a completely debilitating bug...

Anyone? It would be really nice if somebody involved would at least acknowledge the problem and hopefully tell us they're working on it... I tried to play again tonight, but I've tried to fight the same battle 6 times and it's crashed every time, sometimes within seconds of starting!

I've recommended the game to two people who bought it (because it's an awesome game), both of whom are having the same problem. All my initial praise for this game is drying up, because no matter how good the content is, it doesn't matter if you can't actually play it...

Agreed.

I'm really surprised and disappointed that there's been absolutely no acknowledgment from the DEVS that this is an ongoing and fatal bug. I really love this game but this is way beyond frustrating.

From what I've read on this forum the game works on Vista 32 bit but not on Vista 64 bit.

Did everyone in this thread try the xp compatibility method that people earlier in this thread said worked?

Did everyone in this thread patch to 1.6.5 if you have the US 1.6b7 version?

I'm using Vista 32 bit, I installed the 1.6.5 update, and I've tried the xp compatibility method, but it had zero effect.

It's also worth noting that for me, this problem got worse and worse the farther into the game I got. When I started out it crashed maybe once in 2-3 hours and only in battle mode (and not because of DEP, it gave some memory allocation error). Crashing once in a blue moon in a battle isn't so annoying to me because I always save before every battle .

But now I'm in Ellinia/Undead lands and I usually can't play 5 minutes without DEP killing the game.

Well, it would be really nice for someone...ANYONE to acknowledge that this thread exists and comment on whether there's ANY plans to fix this bug. Nothing more frustrating than being ignored...

I would just like to let the world know that this problem has become insurmountable for me. After hours of repeating everything over and over trying to get the game to not crash, I finally made it to Demonis. However, the problem has gotten so bad that the game crashes every 5 minutes or so. I can't use my inventory, because 90% of the time I click on an item or try to scroll, the game crashes, and I get the error during almost every single fight.

I've uninstalled the game now, because I couldn't help but try to play while it was installed but trying to play was just making me angry. I feel cheated because I bought a game that doesn't work, and the developers won't even recognize the existence of the problem. At first I was hoping that they just needed to be shown the problem and then they'd fix it with time. Now I don't think they care at all, and I will be very careful before buying any games from this developer again. If there are any bugs at all that might bother me I will wait until they are addressed before considering buying the game.

It's a shame. At first Katauri won me over with the incredible content of the game, and then they lost me as a customer due to their complete lack of recognition and support of debilitating problems.

That is my exact situation to a T. Game crashed a few times throughout playing, until i got to the undead/elf island. Now its every other battle, or even more common. It seems to happen quite often with elf units at least or maybe the enviornments. I just am too frustrated now to continue playing and going to go outside and get some sun at the park and let this game collect dust without finishing even 1 play through until they fix this issue.

I know this will be of no consolation to those having problems, but I have to believe that it is something in your environment that is causing the problems. I have Vista x64 and I have completed the game twice and am on my third character and the only crash I have encountered was the acknowledge Mirabella/James/Kracken bug.

I have several sessions of more than 8 hours of continuous play with no problems whatsoever.

Now I am a commercial software developer and very anal about what gets loaded and is running on my machine, so I definately encountered fewer issues than most.

Full Specs: Core2Duo 8600 (at stock), nVidia GTX 260 216 Factory Overclocked, 2GB RAM (working on getting machine stable with 4GB but thats a MB/BIOS issue), Vista x64 SP1 and all known updates.

Examples of software that I DONT load: any instant messaging, CD/DVD emulators, process explorer, XLive, any file sharing/BitTorrent programs.

For those having the problem, it's a great game so keep plugging away at trying to find what the conflict is.

jwinter, my install of windows is as clean as can be expected. I updated a clean install of xp on a brand new partition to vista ultimate edition. Since installing windows I have installed 6 pieces of software: AVG, Adobe Reader 8, Firefox, Civilization IV: Colonization, King's Bounty, and Babylon (a multilingual dictionary). And I don't really browse the internet, either - only a handful of sites, all of which I trust.

The one thing out of the ordinary about my computer is that it's a mac, and I'm running windows in bootcamp. However, I played Colonization just fine, and on my desktop back home I've played probably a dozen games through bootcamp without encountering anything out of the ordinary.

If I haven't had a single problem related to running windows on a mac with the dozens of other applications I've used, I shouldn't have a problem like this with King's Bounty. Not to mention I would be very surprised if everyone else having this program is using windows on a mac.

So given that my computer is as clean as any developer can reasonably expect, and that me using a mac is pretty much ruled out as the culprit (at least directly), then it stands to reason that it very well may be a software problem.
