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...

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...

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 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?
