Summary: King's Bounty:Armored Princess crashes/hangs frequently on loading screens Product: Wine Version: 1.1.36 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msvcrt AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com
The game (KB:Armored Princess, Steam version, patched to 1.2) generally crashes on loading screens (entering/finishing a battle, entering a castle etc.) I think the bug is the same as in the prequel: King's Bounty: The Legend (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15817)
Installing the native version of msvcrt.dll apparently solved the problem (no more crashes after several hours of gameplay).
There is a demo version of the game (467 MB): http://www.bigdownload.com/games/kings-bounty-armored-princess/pc/kings-boun...
The game needs native d3dx9_36.dll to run (at least the steam version).
