Age of Conan

Hello all,

I have only just got age of conan and could not understand that when playing for about five minutes it froze for no apparent reason. I later discovered, through your helpful forums that this was due to a patch issued on sunday. I have noticed a pattern; everyone who has suffered this problem has a 8800 GTS or GTX Nvydia Card much like myself. I merely post this to let everyone know why some are affected and others aren't. I have no idea why and i hope this information will shed some light on the matter for people who have a vague idea what the hell is going on.

Hope that sought of helps, and suggestions?

I would definitely check the official forums on this, because you're likely to get much better technical help and others who have encountered the same problem.  Luckily, I have the 8800GT, so no problems here.  My first thought would be the graphics drivers, that perhaps there is a new one that needs to be installed.  Second, if you're doing any overclocking you might want to take a look at that for stability issues in the game as well...  But check the official forums, as I'm sure the others with the same card are already discussing it.  forums.ageofconan.com

I actually have two computers one that I play on and that my wife uses. Mine has a 512mb 8800gt and I have never had a single issue playing the game (other than crashing when I exit the client) my wife on the other hand has a 7950gt and the game worked through open beta and all day on the first day of EA. when the sunday may 18th patch went live her computer started having all sorts of crashing issues. sometimes the game will run for half an hour without crashing and some times as soon as her character takes a step or moves the camera the game crashes.

She has little patience for trouble shooting and has already given up even trying to play the game but every time funcom releases a patch or update I will log in to see if there has been any improvement. As of todays update the client still crashes as before. the only thing that has changed recently is that at first the client crash (more like a total lock up) would have completely locked up the entire computer requiring a hard restart (via the power button) but lately when the client crashes I can control-alt-delete and just shut down the game.

I will keep trying until our free game time runs out hoping that they fix it somehow I really wanted to play the game at least until I got one toon to lvl80.

-edit

oh yeah I have been living on the official forums and it appears that every time a new patch is released a new person comes on posting about a similar issue. just fyi.
