the reason for a major source of crashing and instability with ApC running on Vista was the absent of service pack 1. Please make 100% sure you have updated your Vista installation with Service Pack 1! It should have installed automatically, but it is also known to sometimes fail. |

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp. |
I admit it's good to warn people, mate but let's face it. A lot of issues had little to do with SP1. SP1 fixed some things and the 'broked' others.

SP1 is great, but I have had it installed for a while (LONG before AoC Beta) and it didn't help me at all with the crashes in AoC. |

The problems have very little to do with SP1. I have had it installed from day one and finally when my crashings reduced it had nothing to do with that or anything other that I did. My pc is exactly the same as I had week ago. Funcom are trying to reduce the memory load of the game. It simply has to go under 1 gb to work properly considering 1 gb is minimum for the game. |

Originally posted by Alan0n This is truth, I don't think SP1 had much if anything to do with people crashing. I didn't have it installed during OB, and I crashed several times as mentioned. But, after FC did their performance patch it ran nigh flawless on my end. |

I agree with this 100%. I was crashing 20 times a hr and on the last day of open beta i tried this and everything was fine, not one crash.
