AoC Has encountered an error and needs to close

Was roaming around the forums and found out my problem came from this Win 7 x64 platform update (KB2670838). Uninstalled it and went from crashing 1-2 times an hour to 0 in 3hrs. After researching it found out the June 2010 DirectX SDK are incompatible with this platform update:

D3D10SDKLayers.dll
D3D11SDKLayers.dll
D3D10ref.dll
D2D1debug.dll

There's a fix for windows 8 if you have this update but can't find one for Win7 unless it uses the Win8 update but that can be found here

hope it helps

Glad you found a solution. I will recommend this thread for as a possible solution for others that may be crashing also.

fact; did this and went from crashing twice an hour to crashing 0 times since back...

It is almost criminal for the aoc staff not to inform their gamers of this:)

Removing that win update did indeed help, but since update 4.4 crashing continues even without this win update. Usually after 30 mins or so, i would be kicked to main menu, which is blank and every time i relog, i have that bug where i'm unable to sprint until i go to sneak. Please help. I use win 7 64, i5 4670, 8gb ddr3 1600, radeon 7950 3gb, samsung ssd 840 pro.
