Ok,

I tried altering the frame limit, but there's no difference.

But if an application requires a minimum, there is no magic to circumvent that.
Sounds logic, but my system is even above the recommended requirements listed in this forum (which I guess also take OpenGl into account?), so I guess my graphics card misses some compatibility drivers or something for using OpenGL?

@LigH: Ok, I'll try that later this evening, or tomorrow, depending on when i have time and remember in doing so  O--).
also i have practically no clue about the difference in OpenGL and Direct3D, so I guess OpenGL is a little 'heavier' then.

@weltall: I thought the engine only started when u actually get into the game, but i guess that's my nooblicity about game programming/workings talking to me. thanks for clarifying that up.

Will put an update if it worked after changing the file.

True words (although it means they should update their 'recommended' system requirements in the post then).

But what I don't get is that it immediately starts spiking right after pressing log in. There's nothing special on screen yet, just the background image and a button saying 'Create new character' (at least, red orb with the text behind it). I don't even get to the graphical intense part yet.

Thanks for the reply,

Ok.
Setting 'background loader' to anything but 'off' apparently causes the game to crash at the loading screen (just before it starts loading).
Also, for some reason the launcher chrashes after hitting the play button (with the generic windows crash message), although the client startsup witout any other problems.

Athlon 64: Probably just a single-core processor?
yep it is.

Also, I know my system isn't really 'top-notch' (far from, hehe), but, judging from different screenshots and youtube movies, it handles games with better graphics like PWI and King of Kings 3, without too much trouble (although the gameplay of both games are somewhat....lacking.... :whistling:).
(one of the movies I used as reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioLkQhPjHr4, although i don't know how up to date this one is)

I hope there's another solution, except for getting a whole new PC? (as I currently don't have the money for it, lol  :sweatdrop:)

Hey all!

I accidentally stumbled onto this game and wanted to try it out.
after fixing a problem with some sound enabled issue (openAL), I logged in into the server I registered for.
this is when it happens...a severe performance drop! (yes even before character creation).
the background music gets interrupted at some irregular intervals, and clicking doesn't work during these interruptions.
when I finally get the timing right and managed to succesfully click the create new character button (still don't know if its the text or the red orb  ???), there's either some shambled random 'text' with buttons sprawled around, or the game sort off hangs. or stuff is missing...

anyway, after kindly asking my windows task manager, it turns out the game client is om-nomming my cpu (at around 80-99%), which is never a good sign in my experience.

any help/solutions/advice?

oh, am running Windows XP 32 bit, on a AMD Athlon 3500+ (2.21GHz) processor, 3 GB RAM and an ATI Radian X1330 graphics card.   :whistling:

PS
sorry if there's already a post about this topic, couldn't find it if there was... :innocent:

Oh, and yes: i updated the program, fixed the program twice, and have the latest drivers (latest as in updated 'em a week ago)
