Always possible, but fixes for this issue went in to i13 as far as I know, and they didn't help. I'm really surprised the hotfix isn't working for you, as everyone else is reporting sucess with it; which leads me to believe the issue is with your system.

Thanks for all the advice- it may not have totally solved the problem but it is much appreciated. I have, however, noticed something a little strange...

I had thought the bug was fixed yesterday. I was playing my main toon (lvl 50 blaster) in and around Cimerora: the game didn't crash once and nor has it when I'm playing that character in that zone. The minute I play with any of my other characters, around Steel Canyon, Boomtown, the usual places, the game crashes.

I can only assume that as the spartan environment of Cimerora does not contain as many effects, textures and so on as other zones it means there is less chance of the driver crashing. Or is that a stupid thing to think? Either way, as long as I play in Cimerora I seem to be fine. Weird...

I've also decided to go for HIS Radeon 4850 IceQ4 1Gb card. I reckon that will cut this particular Gordian Knot.

Thanks again for all the advice.

...I should also add that the two characters that crash all the time both have moustaches so I accept that it is entirely possible that there is some problem with a moustache rendering sub-routine.
