Is this still seriously a problem?
I -ALMOST- just bought this game too. Good thing some user reviews noted this huge issue. I'll save my money until this is fixed.. or just spend it on another title.
Edit: It also sort of kills any interest I have in King Arthur 2. I mean, come on. This is how you act with your last major release, and you expect me to give you 40-50 bucks?
For me, yes. I've chucked it as a failed investment a long time ago and moved on and expect most who suffered the same to have done the same. That's just how it goes.Originally Posted by Phystarstk
Finally got around to writing a list of my AARs in the inkwell.
For those interested in Dominions 3 (SP or MP), there is an introduction thread to Dom3 in this thread run by Jarkko.

I haven't tried any of the various workarounds, but very much a problem for me with the end-of-first-battle crash. To be fair, I shouldn't have to work-around. It's all rather puzzling. I can understand that Neocore folks might be having trouble running it down, but then they'd be expected to show interest when someone reports the problem and offers to send whatever supporting data they'd like...
Also bei mir klappts mit dem 1.03 patch (WFM with the 1.03 patch).

Hey, I just got myself a brand new computer and decided to revisit Lionheart and what would you know? Despite the massive hardware and software change from the configuration I had at Lionheart's launch, where the game was a buggy crashmonster, by going from a 4GB dual core 32bit architecture running vista with GTS512 gfx to 16GB quad core 64bit win7 with GTi560 gfx, Lionheart still crashes frequently during missions.
At least I've got to give it points for consistency.
Odds of me not buying KA2 at full price upon launch: verging on unity despite my love of supporting minor developers of strategy games. Neocore's track record is getting really, really, poor where I am concerned.
From occasional random battle crashes in King Arthur: TRPWG to frequent random battle crashes in Lionheart (that is built on the same age) coupled with consistent crashes, one can only fear what happens when Neocore launches their next game. Will a third category of battle crashes be added to the steaming pile of unstable code that underlies their current game engine? Time will tell, but this time, I'll let somebody else pay for the privilege of finding out the hard way with full priced software.

Picked this up recently as its a title that has interested me for a while, hoping that all the earlier problems would be sorted by now. Nope. Crashes all over the place, and always the same issues that have been brought up on here since release with C+++ errors.
tbh it just leaves a really bad taste in the mouth to have a game in this state so long after release and with from what i can see the absolute bare minimum of support. Have washed my hands of Neocore and will be far more wary of independent games that Paradox puts its name too in future as well. This just doesnt reflect well on anyone at all really.
Yesterday i bought the game as the steam Collection for 9,99€, today i finally tried the game. First all okay, all good. After Mission it´s crashed with a Runtime Error and now i should try it again....tryed again and again Runtime Error....Whats the problem saw many guys here with a problem at mission 1 how can i fix this? And i don´t want to try the mission a 3rd time, just to get another Runtime Error.
Sounds exactly like what I experienced, and nothing I've found seems to have helped. Not a stirling example of support. It's a shame, as that first mission was pretty fun.
yeah i cheated myself over mission 1, but this can´t be the right way....i hate cheating but what should i do otherwise i could´t continue the campagne....
C'mon. Seriously? Nothing over the course of nearly 2 years. I haven't been this pissed at a Paradox game ever. The only thing that'd made me angry before was going to Steam.
Bought the game on steam recently. It asks me to install nVidia Physx, but when I try is says I already have a newer version of Physx and closes, then the game closes because I didn't install Physx. There a solution to this that I'm just missing?
I think steam installs physX after it has completed downloading the game. You already have newer PhysX so just click on the run game again don't bother using admin account/code.
Can u play multiplayer(you need to run it as admin for multiplayer it seems)
"A society that robs an individual of the product of his effort, or enslaves him, or attempts to limit the freedom of his mind, or compels him to act against his own rational judgment-a society that sets up a conflict between its edicts and the requirements of man's nature-is not, strictly speaking, a society, but a mob held together by institutionalized gang-rule. Such a society destroys all the values of human coexistence, has no possible justification and represents not a source of benefits, but the deadliest threat to man's survival" -Ayn Rand.

Nope, even if I try to start it by admin running the .exe it still asks me to install Physx.
