WAR (Warhammer Online)

ok having finally got past the dodgy character thing.... and finally being able to log in.....

I play the game for 5 minutes as chaos chosen, then decided I want to see what the Ork start up was like.... so logged out, countdown, to 5 seconds and then it all locks up....

Ok no worries re-boot system, and start again... 1 st time out I couldnt even see the server I had started the previous character, but proceed to create new character, as a black orc, 'loading interface screen' is as far as it gets... ok re-boot retry again....

and it just gets one screen further the very one before you start playing, have tried many things, but still no luck, just goes to 'not responding' and can't even close it unless I shutdown / restart the whole PC.....

Anyone have a solution to the latest problem? Please I just want to play the damn game

seriously considering just sending it back right now..... but have been looking forward to this game for so long........

It's simple it's your machine thats the issue if so many can log in a use it fine and you can't then it's your machine thats problem, check it's not a graphics issue

so many views and yet no replies, I take it I am the only one with these problems and nobody has any clue as to what is wrong......great

but why would it run once and then never again? I just dont get it, I have the minimum req, so what gives? even turnt the settings down, but that doesnt seem to actually do anything anyway :S

Well it certainly isn't the games fault so that leaves your system or something about your system that is unique. I have run it on 4 systems ranging from an AMD 3200+ with a X800 Pro and Windows XP up to my main machine that is a Core 2 Quad system with a GTX280 and Vista 64 bit. All of the machines have run it for hours without any hangups hiccups or problems of any kind. This seems to be a rock solid game.

Hmm... It could be launch-day hiccups of some sort. My suggestion is to submit a ticket via their website. It's not "one-way" like it was in beta, so you will get a response now as to what it might be and so forth.

Could be that their servers are just getting completely hammered and it's messing with the client.

@The person saying "it's obviously your system" - that is a very naive and ignorant comment to make. It very well could be an oddball/obscure issue with WAR and the OP's hardware/software config. Things like this *do* happen, and happen often with any kind of software. The more  systems/configurations it's exposed to, the more potential glitches might pop up. So to say "It's just his system" is to completely ignore an issue that may well need a fix.

Since the last major patch before the CE Head Start, I've been seeing an issue of the client hanging up when attempting to exit the game. The issue gets progressively worse, it seems, the more I've zoned in the game (Scenario instances, death, travel to different zones), which leads me to believe that it's caused by a memory leak. To avoid it, I have to make sure I log out of the game instead of quitting directly to the desktop.

This is a perfect example of how Mythic does a disservice to their customers by not having their own support forums. Instead of getting an answer from Mythic themselves, you get morons who like to chant, "Mine's working fine, it's your crap machine!"  The client is poorly optimized. Does your machine play other recent games properly? Do you meet the system requirements? If you can answer "Yes" to both of these, the problem is with Mythic, not with your machine, no matter what the self-appointed "experts" say.

Can only advice to update all your drivers. Soundcard, Videocard especially have Mythic adviced people to update to latest.

I run the game perfect and have since Beta - Never crashed once during loading or exiting. I run a pretty standard computer with no extreme hardware or old hardware.

I definitely log out and exit the game from there.

Do check all of your Drivers as they can definitly be a problem.  When I did the preview weekend i had some outdated drivers . I download all the new drivers for my system that solved my problems.

But yes it can hang if you exit the game.
