Not sure if it was the patch, but I didn't have a single crash yesterday.

Let's hope, but just a day is not enough to discover the usual nasty MotBW bugs.

Meh... just had access violation.

Before the update, I never had any problems while playing the game. After the update was automatically downloaded and installed, now I had an access violation error as well. It happened just after a battle ended. Sad.

Edit: After alt-tabbing back to the game as I wrote the error above, I could continue playing as normal. I saved the game just in case after the error. I hope it will not break the game later on.

Edit2: After a while I got the error again. But this time, alt-tabbing back to the game did not help and the screen was frozen. I couldn't move the camera nor click anywhere. But this was not a "hard freeze". By saying that I mean, after alt-tabbing back to the game twice, I can see that the camera moved to another part of the shard, but still I can't do anything else other than listening to the continuing music. It looks like the game accepts inputs (moving the cursor to the edges of the screen) but can't produce outputs immediately. Only gives them after alt-tabbing twice..

My two cents about the reason of this error is, you know just after battles, a random event window appears with options to choose. It may be that one of the random events is causing this.

I had to kill the game via task manager and load from the last autosave. After reloading from the last save and completing the same battle, I did not get the error.

Please fix this problem, game becomes unplayable as it is.

P.S.There are also other typo problems, like entering a undead place and it showed the programming variable name instead of like "skeletons, zombies", but since they are not breaking the game, I won't go into their details.

Edit3: I took a screenshot of the typo I mentioned above, after seeing it for the second time today. Even though the screenshot's size is 201 KB, I can't attach it to my post for some reason. So, here's the link: http://tinypic.com/r/eqb8s6/8

Since the patch some of the enemy description texts seem to be missing.

I often get Dialog(5) instead of a description of the enemy when examining something. I think is is realted to:

‘Empty’ slot in enemy’ army description when attacking a province.

This problem only started since the patch :P

Will we get a fix for this? The game started to get access violation every other turn, after I conquer more provinces in a shard. The game has become unplayable for me, it is really annoying..

I have a rising number of "access-violations" too, now i can't even load the save :(


The game is still very buggy.

It seems, that my "access-violation"-loop is chained to Zarrs Quest "Find a part of the first clockwork".
If i accept the quest and start a shard i get the error nearly every turn and often while i try to save/load but if i just attack a other Master or don't accept the quest i can play on and only have the "normal" number of errors....a crash her, a freeze there...

Soo..a question to the other players that have many access violations...did you just accept Zarrs Quest to find some machine part?

After 1.5.2, this is continueing to 1.5.5: http://snowbirdgames.com/?p=1448

http://snowbirdgames.com/?p=1474

Nothing happens and nowhere to get the patch... (even their forum is down since at least a week).

Bump. Where's our GOG patch? It's been out on Steam for weeks now.

I'm accustomed to waiting a few days, but a few weeks seems strange. Need our 1.5.6, s'il vous plait!

Yeah, this is unusually late.

I wouldn't even mind downloading the .ZIP of the patch and applying it myself - but there doesn't seem to be a download location that I know of, for this particular patch.

I am not particularly bummed, because the patch doesn't seem to fix my greatest gripes: instability and non-working moneylender/bank.
