Looks like a driver problem, or possibly an Ogre3D compatibility issue. Since you say you're already using the latest drivers, I can only suggest reverting to the working system, waiting for newer driver updates, or trying building FreeOrion yourself against a newer version of Ogre3D than is used in the release builds. The builds use 1.8, but 1.9 is available.

I am having the same issue with build 6913 on my Windows 7 PC with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 graphics card. CTD on startup, nvoglv32.DLL. Using latest drivers. Been having this issue since around builds 6500-6600, so I have just been playing on my laptop (Intel HD Graphics) which works fine, if poor quality.

Did rebuilding with Ogre3D version 1.9 help?

I no longer have this problem as of Build #6942 and Nvidia Driver 335.23.

Much thanks to whoever fixed it.
