I love this game, I really do.  I like the depth, gameplay, questlines, graphics... nearly everythinig about it.  I also do not have performance problems, crashing, fps or otherwise.  I run a 3 year rig with XP and an upgraded video card (8800GTX) and get great performance on high settings.

But some of my guildies and friends do have performance problems... mostly crashing with Vista it seems.  Ironically, older rigs seem to run the game more stable than newer rigs.  They want to play the game, they try to get their crashing problems ironed out, but if they can't, they quit.... at least for now. 

We just had a 3rd guild member go on hiatus because they just simply crash too much.  All three love the game, but gave up because of Vista crashing.

Fix this.

** Edit ***   I just got this email from a guild member in regard to my topic:

I am hoping they fix up VG, as it was really darn close to being great.  My

Exactly.


Performance, I believe, is the highest priority.  The end-game content is inexhaustible.  I recently suggested that SOE needs to:

(1) improve performance
(2) fix bugs
(3) add content (esp. end-game)



However, in regards to item (3), I have learned that it is nearly impossible to exhaust the sheer vast amount of content.  The issue is that people are having difficulty finding and reaching this content because the world is so vast and travel is not easy. 


I like how the world is vast and how travel is very meaningful, but some one needs to communicate the options more.

@ OP

Yeah, I ran into the same issues here. I had some performance issues, but not crashes. Mostly hitching. But my guildies dropped like flies from the game . . and we had played another game together for several years. Being together is important to us. . so we were forced to move on.

I really wanted to like Vanguard, too.
