I keep getting this problem, after poking around on the forums a bit, I seen people saying something about the hotfix for Vista (I have 64 bit vista, and a 8800 GTS 512). Trying to apply the hotfix I get the error "This Patch Doesn't Apply to your system" Any clue what gives? Any other ideas, It seems silly to roll back drivers, but if all else fails I suppose I could give that a shot too.

Also, for some odd reason, I cannot talk/view the help channel, I just started this game back up (After only playing it a month before) And still have plenty of questions. Can anyone give me a reason as to why its not working. It just gives me a error "Help uses 1 arg, you used 14" or something like that.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to be certain you're getting the 64-bit version of the Hotfix, and not the 32-bit version. They are two different animals entirely.

Devs decided to make the slash command '/help' and its alias, '/h', open up the help window rather than be the command to type in the help channel. The new slash command to type in the help channel is '/hc'.

So, to ask, "Where are the Circle of Thorn in Kings Row?" you would type...

/hc Where are the Circle of Thorn in Kings Row?


When they did this, they introduced a bug, namely, when one tries to type with the help tab active, instead of typing in the help channel, which is what it's supposed to to, you instead wind up issuing internally the /help command which is no longer the help channel but the display help window command. That's why it's telling you too many arguments since the new /help command takes 0 arguments.
