Random client crashes in Windows XP

[Ahanien]

I'm getting frequent and seemingly random crashes on my system. The client simply freezes and has to be terminated manually.

So far I haven't been able to tell what, if anything causes the crashes as they occur whenever. They can happen when I'm walking, standing still, mining, fighting, looking at the inventory, whenever. I haven't timed them very carefully but there doesn't seem to be any coherence there either.

The errorlog is such a mess it's hard to tell, but the last message after a crash is usually something like the latest:

Code: [Select]

Wed Jun 17 20:40:42 2009, Stat request failed because CelClient not ready for EID:42226

My system is a freshly installed Windows XP Pro running on a 2,5 GHz dual core processor, 2 GBytes of system memory, and a card with 512 MByte video memory.

I haven't given the system a thorough shakedown yet, but so far this is the only problem I am experiencing.

Hi....is your card ATI/AMD? Had similiar probs before installing older Nvidia card..both with up to date drivers, runs smooth as silk on Nvidia card.

Yep, it's an ATI.

Maybe we're onto something there. Unfortunately the situation has worsened to the point where I can't get past the logon screen before the game hangs. I guess no PlaneShift for me until the problem gets fixed.
