Are you running XP?  Does it work in software mode?  If so, you might want to try changing the compatibility settings for the games .exe file.  Try the following:

- locate the \"psclient.exe\" file
- select its properties
- select the compatibility tab
- change the compatibility mode to \"Windows 98/ME\"

I just got the game to work in opengl mode doing this.  It still crashes when I try to quit the game though.  :rolleyes:

How many times do we have to go over this? It does not freeze on the Initializing world part, it just takes a while to load. Think about it logically, the GUI and characters are small, but the world, in comparison, is huge, therefore it would take a lot longer to load it that the others.

the game crash u get after you changed the compatibillity is a side-effect of it. You\'ll get it after you changed the \'compat.\' into 98/me...

Besides, General Discussion isn\'t the place to post this sort of things. Please do it in the Technical part of the forum. Thank you. :)
