I had been able to play GW on my comp for a good 2 months, never crashing, no err=7, etc. But about 2 months ago GW crashes everytime I open the program right at the log-in screen. Everytime. It hard crashes too, I need to reset the system everytime. I did not fix it bc a few days after this started happening I left the country and I just returned a few days ago.

Some Info on my comp:

3.5GHz P4 (775 T sock I think)
Windows XP
Tried both Intel Extreme Graphics (915G) and GeForce 6600 256mb, the 6600 is currently being replaced so I am using the Intel w/ 4.0.0.642 drivers
Audidgy2
1 Gb Ram
plenty of hard drive space
Marvell Yukon @ 7.1 drivers

Happy to check any other info, Thx for the help

I just found that I only have Open GL 1.1.0 drivers from Microsoft, maybe that is an issue?

I am sorry that I wont be able to help you - I'm having similar problem. After weeks of playing without a single lockup now the game crashes every once in a while. The only solution is to reset the PC. I am happy if I am able to play 5 minutes.

Nothing has changed in my configuration hardware or software wise so I'll blame the game. The support is nonexistent so far and I am getting desperate about the situation. I guess if this continues after today's update I have to say 'bye-bye' to GW.

Cheers,
Joiya

Joiya, have you tried uninstalling the game and then just running off the client installer from the GW website?

Raven, did your problems start when you switched out your geforce? Sounds like it's a graphical issue to me, so make sure you have the latest drivers for whichever card you are running. It wouldn't hurt for you to reinstall either. GW probably saved the high end graphical settings like AA and super high quality that you were running with your geforce. Your current card probably can't handle those settings.

Hi Kuku Monk,

Yes, this is one of the things I have tried. Others were BIOS updating and tweaking, drivers down- and up- grading, memory testing, temperature monitoring and what not. I think I've tried every proposed solution on the net (other than changing my PSU).

No other software crashes my PC (games or not). It used to run it for 4-5 weeks without a reboot. Actually it is still a rock solid system (until I start GW that is

).

Cheers,
Joiya
