Using Win 2k (All latest security and all other updates on it)
Athlon 2500+ Barton
Abit NF7-s
Radeon 9700 Pro 128 (Drivers are new as of about 3-4 weeks ago)
 
No other game seems to cause this problem, play Halif-Life 2, Neverwinter Nights, Everquest 2, along with various other games all work perfectly fine..
 
Any insight you could offer would be greatly appreciated,
 
-Thanks in Advance

hello,
i didnt had any problems installing it or running it, but when i enter the neighborhood some strange things appear, but thats the least, when i try to enter a house or to create a new character the application crashes, i´ve checked the system requirements and everything seems to be ok. Does anybody experienced the same problem, or does someone know what do I have to do?
 
Thanks

A crashing program is hard to troubleshoot without an error report. It could be due to heat or memory problems. Since the OS doesn't crash it likely isn't system memory or CPU overheat but likely graphics card memory or overheating.
