Hello,
Some Nvidia serie 6 users (6600 GT & 6800 GT) get some occasional & random crashes in the game.
We would like to know if some of you have this video card and how many suffers from these unexpected crashes. (the error message speaks of an unexpected application error, as this is pure DirectX/Video Driver problem).
If you dont have this problem and have this kind of card, please post here. For those having the problems, you can contact us at support@ageod.com, if not already done.
An attempt to fix the issue will be released monday.
NVidia serie 6 users, report in please

6800GT 256mg card here, i had a crash when first trying scenario #6, it was then i enabled the "bug log?" option to help the devs. No crashes since but i will make a full report if need be. Note: choosing the "pre-caching" map option really speeds up scrolling/zooming...not that i had a problem with it.
Yes, I have Nvidia 6800, and I have been experiencing this fault. On the full French and Indian War scenario, I have the crash mentioned above every few game turns. If it happens, I load the most recent saved game, and can then usually continue for a few turns until the same crash happens again.I've just started the full War of Independence scenario, and haven't yet had the problem in the first three game turns.
I'll look forward to trying the "fix" when it's released, and will report back on the results.
Other than that, its a great game, challenging and a lot of fun to play.

Screen saver mode, back to "Ecran d'accueil".
My mistake, it was the screen saver bug and not the Nvidia bug
Nvidia bug moves in mysterious ways... First time, BoA crashed after 2 minutes of Tutorial, and then I was able to play bunch of games for 3 days until Patch 1.01...
A betatester nightmare... but a player dilight

I would need the log files located in birth of america\boa\logs to check where can be the problem. Dont restart the game before sending the logs, are they are cleared each time.
How frequent is the bug (average time between 2 locks up)?

Are you saying that the game crash from time to time when you load it, and wont crash during game if it suceeded loading?
give me your DxDiag also, these video bugs are tricky.

I have a GeForce 6600 GT (AGP 8x). I had finished the tutorial and it was sitting at the victory report (not the big one, but the small one)and I went to do something. During that time my screensaver came up (starfield). I have two person switch to desktop (wife and I) and clicked on mine to go to my desktop and I got a complete black screen. Waited a bit to see if it was just taking time to redraw. No dice. Then brought up Task Manager to try and terminate. I saw the 'ageod' was running. Tried and Alt-Tab just to see if it would switch back. When I did this, I saw the bottom tool bar show up with 'ageod' mininmize I guess (and the Task Manager). No mouse cursor was viable during this time, so I tried various key combos (alt, shift, cntrl with a letters) and nothing seemed to work. But on one such occasion, I finally got a small, grey box with the following (and my mouse cursor appeared too):
DirectX to Renderer invalid call (Burst Mode).
Would you like to terminate application.
Then in French for 'yes' and 'no'. I clicked 'yes' and my Desktop reappeared, and program (BoA) had been terminated.
I believe my driver's are one back from current (i.e. 81.85) having tried the current with some problems (81.95). But to be honest, in trying to solve some problems, I may have ended up with 81.95, but can't remember and can't seem to find how to exactly verify that on my system (if it matters).
The Tutorial btw, ran just fine.
(and I've been playing other games just fine).
Thanks.

Donan, no need to send me the DxDiag, the game crashed because the screensaver messed with him, this is a known problem (that I thought was solved by disabling the screen saver).
Sorry for this little inconvenience. For now it is best to quit BoA when you stop playing for a moment

Sure, I still have Grell with the problem, and I will search for a solution for him. Thanks for the report, it reminds me that I have to disable the screen saver
