i don't know if it is the pc cause i have 512 ram 1.3 ghz processor and a radion 9500 card and my internet is not the problem cause it is still streming gsp even while ao is crashing
even with my computer knowlege i can not figure it out (i am working on computer science degree right now)
so as far as i can tell it is ao /me continues to beat ao with a stick
When it crashes, what does it do? Does it run the normal "logging out" screen thing as though you had decided to log out? or does it do the "random disappearance leaving you with a little "AO has crashed" box"??
Are you using an ATI card? If so, ever since the latest patch updates I have to go into advance settings and choose the first video setting that has HAL in the description. Ever since then I haven't crashed at all Maybe that's the issue? Even if it's not ATI, maybe it's worth a shot? Mine would be playing just fine and then poof it would just disappear, not like "ao is now closing... *blue bar going across the screen*".. this was just *poof.. gone* Ever since the HAL change, it's been flawless. Hope that maybe helps?
ATI has been having major problems with AO (or vice versa)
First check out this thread for tips to see if they can help you. You may want to try a different driver set, updating your drivers to see if that works.
Hmm I'm using a Radeon 9600 Pro on my machine and have had no issues with it that I know of(course not been in AO lots lately and not sure what setting I picked other than 1600x1200)
