Fyvle Report post Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) Ever since last night's update I haven't been able to login on my character. I enter my character name and password (correctly of course) click the login button and I get the Dev C+ crash message. Constantly. Which is to say again and again. Which is kind of annoying to see. I mean, I tried logging in about 30-40 times. I've had these crashes before, the worst it ever got for me was four crashes in a row (on any given day), but then I usually can log in. I was told before that it was because my graphics card was conflicting with the client where the use of open gl was concerned and that I should "go and buy a better card". Which, for many reasons I won't go into here, I simply did not do. See below for my system configuration. Thing's I've Tried So Far 1) I've tried rebooting my system - both warm and cold boots. Crash crash crash. 2) Check my Error Log (see below for contents) 3) Check my Connection Log (see below for contents) 4) Swore a hell of a lot. (helped somewhat) 5) Played a Kenny-G tape I found in a parking lot one time. (I was astounded how much that helped) 6) Ate a strawberry shortcake. (Didn't help much at all, but it needed to be done) 7) Watered my plants.

Derin Report post Posted May 3, 2006 The latest ATI Catalyst drivers are ver 6.4 So your DXdiag should read: Driver Name: ati2dvag.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6606 (English) DDI Version: 9 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 3/22/2006 05:56:42, 257536 bytes The driver date you have: Driver Date/Size: 2/22/2005 indicates its more than a year old So I would suggest you use the cat-uninstaller to remove your current drivers and then download and install the latest drivers for ATi RADEON Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fyvle Report post Posted May 3, 2006 I saw that, and I guess I'm not surprised that would be whats going on. Of course I'll go to ATI's website and download the "latest" driver, but here's the thing that gets me: I downloaded my current driver not three days ago. Hopefully I can get a new "latest" driver and the problem will be fixed. I'll post the results. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fyvle Report post Posted May 4, 2006 It took me awhile to get the proper driver from Ati's website, but I finally got it. The client works now that the new driver is installed. Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
