Returning Player having stability issues.

Kagenushi · 09-17-2011 07:10 AM

Ok so I recently re-subbed to the game to try it out again to see what changed and to try out a few new things.
But I'm having a lot of lock up issues at random times and getting very frustrated.
So here is where I'm locking up.
When I click the login screen after the launcher loads up the game.
Random points in missions - Haven't tried all of my old characters but seems to be happening on Preatoria.
During character creation or tailor NPCs when I try to change or make costume selections.
Walking around in the open world.
So basically at any time the game locks up and I have to go to the program manager to close the process.

A few system notes:
Intel Core i3 3.20Ghz
4 gig memory
64bit OS
ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics Driver ver. 8.881.0.0

At this point it hasn't been long on being back but I have to say that I've played Rift and WOW on this system with no issues and I'll give it a week or so to see if anyone can help but I'll have to drop the game again after that. I really wanted to try the game out but the constant crashing is really putting me off at this time. =<

ATI... The latest drivers have known issues with CoH. I believe 11.4 is the latest version that didn't have the regression. There was another thread recently about the same thing... maybe I can find it

Edit: Here's the thread. And it's 11.4 and not 10.4 like I originally said (I don't use ATI ).

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

i have a 6950 and had no luck keeping the game stable with the 11.7 and 11.8 drivers, but i've only had the rare (even rarer since i21 launched) client freeze after i rolled back to 11.4.

DLed and installed the 11.4 drivers and seems to have fixed it at this point. I haven't played for a ling time in game yet, just 3-4 missions and some running around. I'll try to do a few costume changes for my alts and see if it crashes there.

Thanks to those who helped it's great to see fast and accurate responses without all of the "SEARCH THE FORUMS NEWB!@!!!" responses. BTW I did search and got a ton of nothing in regards to this issue and the 11.4 drivers.
