Yup, I have 1.19 or whatever..

I was just having another go (decided to loose the 1 hour rather than start again) and was about to be killed by something and so hit quit.. and, it hung the whole thing..

I have more than surpased their minium, eveything else (including EQ after luclin was first launched) ran ok on this PC.. its just this.. grr.

Problem is if they dont fix the bugs a) I cant get my money back after 10 days and b) I'll be so fed up with trying it will go in the corner.

This game is notorius for crashing. Checked out the forum and many others are having similar lock ups. From what I've seen higher end computers seem to run longer (3 to 4 hours at a time). I've noticed when I run the game at a lower res, like 800x600, the game run's considerable longer until it locks.
Number of extreme solutions are out there (removing a stick of ram, downgrading drivers (sound and video), re_installing) all
of which are completely absurd buy they say work.
From my own development experience this has all the symptoms
of a memory leak. And the developers at infogrames and bioware
are to arrogant to acknowledge it.
They are however working on there secureROM issue we could
be a culprit as well. Why should we the consumer, bend over
backwards modifying and QAing their product for their lazy
management team?
Oh well, for now their just saying upgrade the drivers to the
latest version and kill all external programs. That would include
mysql all you eqemu users. So the only two programs running
in your ctrl-alt-delete menu are systray and explorer. lower
your res to 800x600 and play with the texture sizes.
Goddamn I wrote a fricken book. Well this better add one to
my post tally.
