connection probs

[Mynro]

Every bloody patch day its the same thing - working game becomes a non-working game. Okay, I have two maybe related, or maybe unrelated problems:

1. After patching, loaded the game and started to run across the plains, only to see a slow stuttering, shambling trot as opposed to a run. Then I noticed the highly annoying, "atmospheric" headache inducing twittering sounds.

2. Logged off, connected to RightNow (actually always a lot later), to tell 'em my feelings on this game "improvement" and then tried to reconnect - I get as far as the character screen, select character, the loading bar comes up and once it reaches 100% - system crash! Windows reboots and tells me there is a serious problem (no shit).

Somebody out there make some sensible suggestions to try pls. Waiting on RightNow, I could go completly grey.

You've actually hinted at the possible solution in point 1. Try switching the hardware sound acceleration down a notch until the problem goes away.

You can do this from dxdiag ( Start -> Run and type dxdiag ).
