Crashing to desktop on load screen !

[Caleb78]

Iv'e recently purchased the combined DAoc+SI+TOA package. I install the game (for about the fifth time) and registrer my account. I run the .exe file, and log in using my password. The list of servers pops out in front of me. I choose a server and press play.
Then the fun begins... The game starts loading.. so far so good... Then... BOOOOOM!! :eek2: There my desktop suddenly appears. No error message.. no critical exception.. No nothing.
Iv'e updated everything possible (sound-card, Graphics-card, VIA drivers and removed virtually everything else from my machine that may interfere. Does anyone else have this problem??? I'm kind of stuck here.
HEEEELP

erm, this won;t work i guess...since you got to the loading screen.
but just to check, do u have a firewall? either software or via the router

That isn't the case I'm afraid!!

Yeah unfortunately you were right. I have a firewall, but it isn't the problem. I've tried deactivating it entirely, just to make sure. I didn't help. But thanks anyway!!

Am i right in thinking the game has never worked?
Maybe try the full file scan option when you start the game.
It is annoying when you don't get any error messages

I think support can help you out if you can get them a file dump from dxdiag - the program that tells them about your system and directx files.

Check .log files in Your ToA folder.

I had this problem when Shrouded Isles got released.. It got fixed when I bought a new computer

 

[Caleb78]

I'll do just that!!!

Thank you all.. Ive taken the DXDiag.txt and the errorlog.txt files and attached them to my customer support query... Now I play the waiting game..
