Data Execution Prevention (DEP) error

[ThyrsaM]

I did that too and so far it seems to work. 2 days without crashes.

I can't to find a solution for this.
I'm also running Windows Vista Ultimate.
3ghz E8400
Geforce 8800GT.
2GB Kingston HyperX RAM


I tried the "compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2" and still have issue.
I also tried excluding King's Bounty executable in the DEP settings but it says that kb.exe needs to use it. Why???
I tried seeing if I could exclude my other games from DEP and the checkbox shows and works just fine.

Luckily I have saved just previous points before the same DEP incidents happen.

I got first error immediately after defeating "Lucky James" Castle on Islands (I already completed mission with "RedBeard" giving Black Seal to "Lucky James). It seemed to work again after reloading the same save point about 3 times.

Figuring I killed the Kraken already and now killed him, I decided to go back to his Beautiful fiance (I forgot her name) to see if she'll let me marry her cuz her fiance is dead. The time it crashes with DEP again, is just after when I ask her to marry me and I click on the response that "James and the Kraken are dead".

I'm going to try to kill James first then the Kraken. Then go to James fiance and see what happens.

That talking to Mirabella after killing the Kraken crashes the game is a known bug. There's a small mod around here somewhere that fixed this.

Thanks alot. I found mod fix on the thread. I'm not sure if it official but according to one person it has worked for him. I would rather use an official patch but I can't wait. oh well.

What fix did you use? I just disabled DEP in Vista SP1 but game still crashes

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...

[pigeon]

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...

I had the DEP error, but it seems to have been solved by turning off the sound in game (music and effects).

I guess there are a variety of causes, but if none of the other suggestions work for you, try this.

I downloaded KB from the net, paid $30 where do i go and what do i do to remedy this?
