The game keeps crashing,seemingly randomly at the very begining of the game.
Unlike others, I do not experience this problem when saving, that seems to be ok.
Game at random freezes and after few second completally crashes.
Sometimes without an error message sometimes with.
The error message reads following.

Nebula asserton failed
peogrammer says set stream source()on D3D device failed
expression: failed
file ../SCR/GFx2/ND3D9 server_render
line 521

I have looked in numerous forums, and while similar problems have been through out the years reported, nobody has proposed a working solution. I have tried turning off numerous game settings, setting antivirus exception both on the game folder and the save folder, deleting all previous saves in case of possible corruption - all in vain. The problem remains exactly the same.

Possible help would be very appeiciated :)

Have you tried downloading and running dx9 installer?

Modern PCs have most of the dx9 components, but not all. Installing this might get it to work
I don't remember exactly if it's this issue or not, but there is an issue with Drakensang where you have to lower the polling rate of the mouse to fix a crash.

This *might* be related. iirc the polling rate was set to 400 to fix it.

If it's more of the nature of the standard crash at launch, you have to manually set the game to windowed mode, and then you can set it to full screen with Alt+Enter after loading in. This step has to be repeated on every launch iirc, though you might be able to get away with just having to do it the first time depending on your system.

Good luck,

EDIT: the polling rate has to be set to 125, but it's related to poor frame rate and a slow mouse cursor, not crashing.
