Hello,
here the same issue.
Kings Bounty: Legend crashes with heavy framerate ups and downs while running. The game crashes often, using the 195 and the new 196 drivers.
Kings Bounty: Armoured Princess is running steadily on 60fps, due to my config (60 hz screen) and has no at problem at all.
my rig:
E8400
8800GT 512
8 GB Memory
X-Fi
Katauri should really be able to fix this problem with a patch, as it the same engine is used in KB:AP, probably with minor changes. Cmon guys, why is this takin forever?
PS:
I tried a lot of suggeted fixes, like doing some settings in the game.ini and turn off AA or Vsync, turn off threaded optimization, etc,
but none of them seemed to work. I tried almost but only with the 195 and 196 drivers.
But in two cases randomly the game runs steadily on 60 fps, and then no crash occurs. First time after i tried with vista compatibility mode, second after running with threaded optimizations off and setting
setf ~r_fsaa from 0 to 1. I think the changes i did before running the game in both cases are not related, and it didnt prevent the error from occuring after starting the game again with the same settings.
the game seems to run randomly correct. Therefore this should be no error on the driver side, but on within the game itself. Katauri should really try to find a solution.
Anyone to confirm that the game runs randomly without errors. In my case, the game is running good, when the fps via fraps show NO ups and downs (~20-45/60), but are steadily showing 59/60fps.
PS: Even when running steadily at 60 fps the game crashed the for first time after playing 30 mins. ...enough for completing 2 quests!!
