Ive never experienced this problem up until the other day, when i installed my new motherboard and GFX card.
The LD problem is this. I sometimes (not always) go LD when i swap zones, use frontier teleport stones, or release my corpse in rvr (pretty much swapping zones in most cases, but sometimes it just happens when i dont swap zones). I can move around (even though im not doing this on other peoples screen) and i can see people move, cast spells, talk in chat etc etc, but i cant interact with anything, cast spells etc and my combat log doesnt update if i click someone (it should say "you target blahblah, he is a member of your realm" etc).
My theory is that the game stops sending data to the server, but carries on recieving data. After 1-2minutes of this i LD.
When installing my new motherboard i had a few problems, so had to reinstall windows (i didnt reformat). Because i reinstalled windows, it doesnt recognise my games in the registry (maybe this is the problem, im not sure yet). Im running games by opening explorer and using the game .exe's.
Ive checked windows fire wall since reinstalling windows and made exceptions for daoc so that its not causing this problem and i even tried turning it off but i still had the problem.
I can go for 6 hours not having this problem, then suddenly i'll LD within 2 minutes of starting the game and i wont be able to play at all.
HELP! :<
PS. new mobo and GFX card = Abit NV8 pro - ATI Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO2
