Crash: BMRender\rmode.cpp(5441)

[Roy the coy]

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.

Its not about katauri, this drivers are scrwed in general

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.

[Sokkratez]

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.

Registered just so I could add that this occurs under win7 32bit as well (using the RC still though). Ever since the new NV drivers.

The game is unplayable now and it's a shame because I quite liked it

Hi there, I got a message from Nvidia support.

I installed the latest beta drivers and this issue is just gone.

Here is a link to them : http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_wi...5.81_beta.html for 7 and vista x64.

Enjoy
