Display Driver Stopped Responding during Loading World

[viralfury]

Hello there,

Im sorry if this has already been covered, but i searched and couldnt find anything similar,

I downloaded the new release today 3.0.11, and installed it, run the updater and loaded the game,

I had a player account from MB so i used the same details and the same Username, clicked join game... the game requested world, the went to loading world, and the when the bar was about 10% loaded the screen went black and i got an  error stating

\"The nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally.  Save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality\"

it happens every time i load the game,  so i looked into the troubleshooting guide which is VERY small to sy the least, and ehy there was something about my problem... as follows.
___________________________________________
Game will not display, black screens or video driver crashes.
   

Try turning off Vertex Buffer Objects in the PlaneShift Setup application.
___________________________________________

Well i checked in the setup and the Vertex Buffer Objects was already set to OFF.  

Is there anyone that can help me with this problem please?

Hmm, the only error like this i have seen before was someone who needed to update their graphic drviers. Can you try that?
Also, the most recent update has some annoying bugs on laoding, you need to retry after a minute sometimes.

Hello, thanks for the Reply Zabeal, im running the very latest NVIDIA drivers, so its not that.  

Maybee its my Graphics card.... anyone else have a Gforce 6600, that can play the game without any problems.

Also.. ive been doing some more testing, and from the moment i click join game, my CPU usage goes through the roof, and the computer almost stops responding, as in... it takes me over 2 minutes just to load up the Task mamager in WinXP to check usage.

Ive got an AMD athlom XP 2400+ ans 1 GB of dual channel 266 RAM, so its not the machine that cant handle the game.

i got in the game only 1 time last night, and that was after over 30 minutes of staring at a corrupt screen, the loading screen was still there, and the GUI had been loaded over the top of it. (my screen res is 1024x768 16bpp) so the overlap bug shouldnt be happening.

Also when i finally got into the game, i was experiencing Lockups every 30 seconds for up to 2 minutes, then it would come back, and then go again.  

CPU usage was at 100% all the time and my ram usage was at 480mb just for Planeshift.

Ive tried everything and nothing is working on this system,  so im just throwing up all the info i can think of with the hope that some dev / tech person will come along and say.. hold up a minute.. this seems like the ****** problem ive seen before.

It seems werid really, that the further this game gets in development, the more problems i have just trying to run it. and every time, i have a better and more powerfull system than the release before.

anyone at all got any info or can tell me how i can get in touch with a Dev member to discuss / rectify this problem please?
