Yes, the server is crashing and they are working on it.  acraig said that the server is expierencing core dumps which cause psserver to crash.  I can tell you right now that adding more exclamation points (!) to the end of your sentances won\'t help you get a response faster, nor fix the server.

ive got Nvidia Geforce 2 mx
i think its 64mb
it works fine with everything that is new up until 2003.
eg. morrowind, neverwinter nights
it has worked perfectly with planeshift until now

it doesn\'t work with higher spec games.
eg. i tried playing area 51 and it was white.


you gotta be kidding me!!!!
noooooooooo

It seems to me that it\'s black as described in 32-bit mode, but in 16-bit mode, the problem seems to go away.  Odd...  So, is there anyone NOT having this problem?

By the way, I have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000, or at least that\'s what it says in the device manager.
