KillFavored

Tried that. Played for 2 days with hiccups only (minor freezes in the game) and now it's back to crashing again. What else can I try?

Whenever I open the costume designer, mini map, or even a player's info, the game freezes, even running on minimum. Following is my system info:

Thanks in advance

I'm also dealing with this problem, with the same video card. I have WinXP, and 3 Gig memory. Should I upgrade to Win 7 and utilize the 4 Gig RAM I have in there?

Got on Virtue - Yay!
Tried to get in a base - gone.

It's 3PM EST and they're still down - but at 1PM it was fine. Any new information?

Actually, I'm thinking of moving to Infinity from Virtue. I've been on Virtue for the last 4 years, and have noticed its steady deterioration into a bunch of cliquish, nitpicking group of demon/angel/troll/werewolf/vampire crossbreeds. The non-RP'ers are constantly harping on the RP'ers, and Pocket D is the center of public ERP. Small V/SG's can never get off the ground, large V/SG's don't care about you unless you're a prestige mule.

I'm moving all my 50's out into the hinterlands of Protector. The 40's are heading to Freedom so I can get them over that last hump into 50. The 25's-39's are heading to Infinity and Justice. Hopefully there'll be some V/SG's and teams out here?

I understand that Virtue is the "unofficial" role playing server, but are there any other servers with that kind of designation? The lag is a constant issue with me on Virtue. Thanks!
