I would very strongly suggest your vid card is the issue, if you can check your error logs in windows that may help pinpoint the source of your crashes.

Australia - high 90's to low to mid 100's on a good day

I looked around but couldn't see if this has been mentioned as a wish, but, carrying weapons at all times?

------------------------------------------------------

Scenario:

Zaxor walks into the shop waving two double bladed battle axes around and says "give me a philter of intelligence".

Shop owner dives behind the counter gibbering in fright and screaming "HELP, I'M BEING ROBBED!"

------------------------------------------------------

Now that's what should happen, but what actually happens is that the shop owner blithely ignores the axes and chats away in a friendly manner.

I personally try to be consistant to the setting, if I am in the wild I carry my axes out, in town I put them away, after all people in the tavern swinging axes and swords and all sorts of weapons would surely attract the guard. Now I am not saying that if someone does walk around with drawn weapons they should be set upon by the guard, a much simpler wasy of doing it would be to have the NPC's refuse interaction if the player has a weapon equiped.

A simple, "now friend put the weapons away while in my shop or I will call the guard," type blanket response would suffice

Hmm, interesting discussion, and I have some thought on PL that I would like to share. There are always going to be powerlevelers, that's not an issue to me, however it does seem rather strange that a PL'er can be a master at mutliple tasks. For instance a craftsman can be a masetr at both axe making and sword making, or alterntively in combat they can have extreme skills in fighting with many different weapons, basically maxing their characters in all the different skill branches. But I have a though that maybe there should be a way to limit this so that in certain areas you can only be a master at one task.

For instance making swords versus making axes. I can make a basic axe and a sword, adn it would be no trouble for a blacksmith to do either with moderate skill, but I wouldn't expect him to be a master at both. So what I would suggest is a limit on training which should be simple to implement. It would work like this, if I have trained my sword making to say 150+, I can't train axe making any higher than 150. So power levelling in sword making means specialising in sword making and only achieving moderate axe making skills, so I could be a master sword maker but only a moderately good axe maker, or vice versa. The same method could be applied to just about any branch of skill, magic for instance, if I trained in the blue way to max skills I could only ever train up to 3 quarters in the other ways, combat the same, I could be a master swordsman but only a moderately good axe wielder.

It shouldn't be a complex chnage to make (of course speaking as one who is not familiar with the code that may not necessarily be true), but I should think a simple database check when training should be all that's needed, if you go to an axe trainer the program checks your skill level in sword making and doesn't allow the option to train higher than 150 if your sword making is already trained to higher than 150.
 

I typed "rhyme with colder" into google, it was second page in the list and even listed in the page summary, can't get easier than that!

 

aaaaa and i have the windows Vista and i play the game before install the video card... soo this is all

Then  you need to download and install the Vista drivers from www.nvidia.com, if you have just installed the vid card it will have defaulted back to the Vista standard Nvidia drivers which only have support for DirectX.
