Upgrading to Nvidia driver ver 191.07 released 10-5-09 fixed the problem below for me. Running XP Pro on a Dual Core Quad Intel and a Nvidia 8500 GT card. It did not fix the church bug, same as it ever was.
After playing the sewers under the merchant area the game suddenly stopped following my character. I could move the pointer to the edge of the screen in any direction and the screen would move but would not move as my character moved. Tried re-starting and re-saving. I used the ladder to return to the merchant area, the sound effects were correct but my character stayed in the sewer. Tried to use the Teleporter Stone, my character vanished but the screen remained in the sewer. I reloaded and continued to play using the pointer to change screens. I was hoping to finish the level not realizing how big it was.
Finding a stairway in the northern part of the sewer, I clicked on it which caused a crash similar to the church. I re-loaded and continued to play using the pointer to move from screen to screen. I found a sewer cover in the southern part of the sewer and clicking on it caused the same crash as the stairway . . .black screen and exit dialog.
I also crashed when a lizard hit me with a fireball. I found by side stepping the fireball that I could clear the room without a crash. (Have not found a fireball lizard since driver install) It was very similar to the church bug when the monk is hit with a fireball. I continued until it was just too much trouble to play.
Checked Nvidia web site for new release drivers and found the driver ver above which cured all of these DD problems on my system . Again, it did not fix the church bug.
Edit: Also, with the above problems, the S and L keys stopped working. Could only save or load using the Esc key. This was also fixed with the video driver update. Go configure??
