By total system crash do you mean the whole system freezes and the only thing you can do is reboot?

Also, have you tested this running non-DR clients aswell? i.e clients that you know worked fine on your pc previously?

with reference to mine it either completely freezes pc and have to reboot it or it just shuts down....cpu temp is fine...........catas still runs perfectly

we've updated vid card drivers removed shed loads of unwanted stuff from d drive/whole computer and done a whole complete reinstall.....it was playing ok (i.e. not ld'ing after 10 seconds) for about 20 minutes then it just died again

I just want a unicorn :( poor me:fluffle:

Taken From Flims Sticky About This........I had all the same probs since patch random crashes, game crashing to d/t, PC switching off when zoning etc.......I updated the network card drivers and it now works fine


How to upgrade your network card drivers on Windows XP:

Classic start menu

start->settings->network connections

find your "local area network connection", right click it and select properties.

A window should popup.

XP start menu

start->connect to->show all connections

right click "local area connection" and properties.

A window should popup.


for both

Click configure.

Click the "drivers" tab

Click "Upgrade driver".

It reports a driver problem............but we've updated drivers (all drivers as it doesnt actually tell you which one) we've also tried backdating drivers............the problem still persists

Ive tried 2000 and xp still no difference

Just rebooted other pc and it says the system has recovered from serious error :eek7: must stop kicking it.........please dont report me to the NSPCC(omputers)

;) Sleep..........must sleep

Oh underneath that report

Computer restarted after an unexpected shutdown.............The driver for the display device was unable to complete a drawing operation................The display driver for RADEON 9000 series seems to be responsible for the system instability \o/ wat joy!!!

I'll patch to DR with my eu installs of the game and see how it runs. If i can recreate the problem i can resolve it I'm sure. However i doubt my new rig will have any problems. Was running US DR at 1600 x 1200 with full detail on including anti aliasing and it ran smooth as anything, even in Jord.

I'll consider setting up my 3rd system with my old 9800 pro card and see how it goes. Can people who have had problems thus far detail them in a fresh post along with what you've tried?

Seems I've fixed my problem, not sure if it will help anyone else.

Basically my new motherboard didnt like having all the dimm slots filled removed 1 stick and now runs fine albeit with less RAM :(

Weird that it only affected DR client and later on found I could recreate the problem in 3dmark 05 but all other clients and my other games worked without a problem :/

Not think that could be a faulty stick of memory? Put it back in and run memtest maybe.

guildie that had freezing problems used 5.2 drivers and everything works fine now :) so try 5.2 if you're having issues

ran memtest overnight first thing I did when I got this problem, no errors.

played most of tonight had one crash which vpu recovered from was in jordheim again, suspect this wasnt the same error though as it would always lock up and not recover then reboot.

5.2 drivers actually made this worse for me locked up in the first test in 3dmark05 and performance took a large hit.

edit* on saying that I tried this before removing the stick of ram, mght give them another try tommorow along with the 6.2

I had problems with crashes in Camelot before. But changed AGP speed to 4x (from 8x) and turned off Fast Write. Havent had any problems since. Havent tested which of the two that helped or if it was the combo.
I dont dare to alter anything that works. :)

personally allso have some problems whit ATI card, mainly in jordheim.
if stay in jordheim some time, usually kick me quite fast out of game.

game is using virtual memory like crazy, after changed virtual memory to 0, kicked me out from game because virtual memory too low etc etc :) (tested in jordheim, run around city)
changed back to 2mb, working little better in jordheim, didnt have so much problems in other areas.
1 gig memory btw.
before DR patch 0 problem whit this game, and was even joking how stabile my pc was in this game, allso connection usually great.



have bott account whit GF4400 TI, working like dream! in jordheim, every place.
installing now 6.2 cat drivers, lets see if change.

Same prob here, virtual memory usage in/near towns until the OS runs out of swapspace, 0.5-1 fps at times.
Uninstalled my current ATI drivers and installed the ones mentioned on the Herald and things work like a charm again :)
