I dont know if its worth mentioning, and it may have been me utilizing the program wrong.. But I use drivercleaner when I swap out drivers.

Even after cleaning the drivers, I found that windows had all of the old drivers stored in a folder under Nvidia. Even though they werent listed under the devices tab and the Programs and Features list (where I originally uninstalled them).

I had to go in and delete those files as well. Not sure if that would be of help or not.

I was in the same boat Stryph, so I know you are frustrated and thought it might be worth a shot.

Three days, around 3-5 hours per day and not one single crash.

I do get a bluescreen on windows boot up, which is new since I applied the hotfix. The machine tries again and no problems.

Not complaining, not one bit. So happy to be able to enjoy the game again.

Here are my specs if it helps anyone:
780i FTW Mobo
mushkin 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
EVGA GeForce GTX 280 1mb
Corsair 1000w PSU

Thanks Tease, switching my browser worked. Now just to see how long I can play for.

I hope this works, I feel like Im in an abusive relationship with my computer. It treats me so bad, but when it's being nice.. its drop dead gorgeous.

EDIT: Three hours and no crash. Not gonna get too optimistic, but thank you for this thread.

Im running 64bit Vista, the hotfixes are telling me that this fix doesn't apply to my system.

Am I missing something?

Sorry, it's Troy's fault about that rule.

Wait a minute...Those are pants?

That's the thing - he is just really furry.

It's an extension of the No Shirt, etc, No service policy.

OH!
I see...I thought you meant Troy MADE the rule....
..but the rule was made BECAUSE of...

...moving along.

So the game has "Gone to the British-es"?!

Okay, I tried to play again and thought Id come here with some feedback on my experience.

I checked my connection, changed my splitters and did everything I could on my end to ensure it wasn't just me. Im a technoweenie, so this means little.
As far as I know, everything is tip-top.

Logged back in, and tried to fly around a bit in a near empty instance of Atlas park, and the rubberband gods played yo-yo with me.

Went to RWZ1 and got on a raid team, and it was the same, no better, no worse.

Turned down the graphics, turned off the sound, unloaded the graphics, had some dinner and still no change.

I eventually had to quit, as I was unable to travel more than a few hundred yards without snapping back. Which was painful, I was enjoying my new Vanguard armor which granted me a +12 to hawtness.

I hope this helped a bit.

Edit: I should also add that I dont remember this happening to me prior to the maintenance, maybe a small amount, but this one is unplayable for me.

Another Edit: Just tested it on my laptop on a wireless connection and not a single hiccup as of yet. So heres me not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Never had problems before the patch, now I can't go 10 feet without rubberbanding.

I think I will go cry into some tequila now.

If they fix the lag, what excuse will I have for my shortcomings?
