You may not have enough RAM needed to run the game. I didn\'t know there were any official requirements for PS, where did you read them and what were they?

On your first connection it may take up to two hours (in extreme cases) to initialise the world. This is due to your client reconfiguring its lighting variables to suit your hardware, as far as I know. While this is happening I would advise you not to press any keys on your keyboard and just leave it alone for a while.

If you return in 2 hours time and the game has still not loaded or has crashed, you have a problem.

This only happens once and the game should load within a minute in future.

Good luck :)

The first time you try to play the game, it might take over an hour to load. Try it again, and go and watch tv for a while. After the first time, it should only take a few min to load.

Are you saying that Windows is telling you you have insufficient memory? In that case, it\'s right. You have insufficient memory.

I suggest buying a couple more sticks of RAM.
