Technical problems and solutions!!! (all problems and errors are stored here)

First off great game!

I am having random crashes during game play. It seems to happen mostly when I am in combat, I can't remeber it happening outside of comabat at all. Most of the time it just freezes my whole computer up and I end up having to restart the machine. A few times my display just goes out and says no video, like the video card is not working. This has happened at random times and I have been able to play up to 2 hours without crashing, but somtimes it's just ever 5 minutes or so.

My system:
Quad Core 6600
4GB 6400 ram
BFG 8800GTX (latest drivers)
Windows Vista (all updated)
Sound Blaster audigy 2 (latest drivers)
Intel X33 motherboard ( latest drivers and bios updates)

My friend has also had these issues, he is running a XFX 8800 GTX as well so I think it's video card related. I have adjusted my in game setting by lowering them and still get the lock ups.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The problem I'm having is that every time I try to level up the game stops and returns me to my desktop. I have no problems running the game or combat. A screen pops up saying that I advanced to level 2 it then begins to load and once it finishes loading, game over.

I have a HP a6400f PC running Vista Home Premium (32-bit) SP1 on a Pentium Dual CPU E220 @2.20 GHz with 3GB RAM, Intel GMA 3100 graphics with 286MB memory (a integrated graphics chip on the motherboard, but its enough to run Aero). Dxdiag reports DirectX 10 but I also have Direct 9.0c installed from another game. The Intel GMA 3100 supposedly supports pixel shader 2.0 and vertex shader model 3.0. I don't have a software firewall, I rely upon a firewall built into my router which does not manage outgoing connections.

When I launch the demo I get a "Kings Bounty (online) warning" telling me that the applications trial period is about to expire, but also stating that I have 999 days 23 hours, 37 minutes left and it will not expire until sept 25, 2011 19:15pm. It has a OK and a Activate button. If I press OK it exits. If I press Activate it prompts me for a serial number which I don't have since I haven't bought the game. I worked around that using 3DAnalyze to launch it with Emulate HW TnL caps set.

I then started getting the D3DERR_INVALIDCALL .\BMRender\rmode.cpp error after creating the character and starting to load the actual game. I installed the latest 9.0c DirectX. I then installed the DirectX SDK , found dxcpl.exe in the utilities directory and configured the DirectX control panel per the directions (change the Debug Output Level slider, select the Use Retail Version of Direct3D 9 etc.). I upgraded the video drivers to the latest version. I still get the error when I finish creating a character and it loads the actual game.

What do I do next? I'm not willing to buy a graphics card to fix this. I'm running the demo with several settings dropped from high to normal to improve performance, and music/sound disabled.

These morons have had this error in this game for MONTHS already and do nothing about it.

I have the same problem exactly. Sometimes an error, sometimes just hangs. I think always in a battle. I have the XFX 8800 GTX video card, Vista 64-bit, nForce 780i motherboard, 4gb of RAM. Every driver I can think of is updated and DirectX installed. Just real annoying, since the game is so good. Trying to decide if it's good enough to warrant buying a new video card for.
