Crashing while zoning

[Engraverwilliam]

ok I'm back. I reloaded "Doorstop" with Win 7 and no more crashing while zoning. seems to have been a vista issue indeed.

Now to see if I can get the "Do-nothing" (broken alienware laptop) working again....

Hiya all, im having a lot of zone crashing. Sometimes i down go down on around 2 hours but other times i get lost conection all time i zone, i have this problems using Wineq2, without it, using affinity mode, without it. I use Win7 64bits, but i take that's problems using Win7 32bits too.

My hardware its the next: AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor (3.00 Ghz~); 4,00 gb ram ddr3(1333); ati radeon 5850 HD.

Thanks for the help and sorry for my english))

Finally my problem with the game frozing comes from my Wi-Fi router's firewall.

I just uncheck the "Firewall enabled" option when I zone, and put it back up when the zoning is over.

No more crash. Hope this helps.

I also checked the "Bypass Triangle Route" on my Wi-Fi router, it seems it helps a bit with zoning. I sometimes have to deactivate the firewall while the connections are initiated.

It looks like my router is the problem, as it does not permit connections between my computer and login/zone server(s). But I'm still wondering why it prevents connections when entering some given zones (Neriak Commons, Freeport) but let me enter East Commonlands and Nek Forest with its blessing.

Maybe I should grab some more +CHA items and try to charm it...

Or just +STR items and rage bash it..

Also I disabled the NTP functionality on the WiFI router and the connections problems to the login server went away.

Looks like the problem is connection lost while zoning.

I bypassed my router (direct connection to modem) and have had absolutely 0 hangs all night. Now, who can figure out what exactly is being blocked?

I am currently crashing only when i zone into EC. Trying to figure out while ill follow up on this if I figure anything out.

Good call with turning texture caching off. Ive been getting issues zoning ONLY into EC. Originally was a auction problem but now I just freeze while zoning into EC. I tested this theory and sure enough loaded right up no problem. Thanks dooder
