how mutch memory do you have?

stop unplugging your hard drive when the game loads?

you really shouldn\'t burn CD\'s while you are loading the game, or for that matter you shouldn\'t be running 20+ other resource-heavy programs in the background on it as well...

if these responses seem lame or stupid, maybe you should help out by providing a bit more information for us to go on, or else it\'s pretty hard to figure out what you mean.

I think that was a valid post, Because I have the same problem and I have 88% of my resources free... so I am not running resource heavy prog\'s in the background, nor am I unplugging my HD.     Mycomputereither freezes or the game will not load further than \" loading world\" part of initialization process. My system performs as follows: 533Mhz processer, 192 megs of ram, Matrox video card, DSL connection (close to T1 connection speed, fast!) directx 9.0.

Did you wait long enough ?

The first time it can take several tens of minutes. If you don\'t want your PC to look frozen, you can give the program a lower priority before starting the connection. Under XP, you can do that with the task manager (psclient.exe is the program name). Under 9x, you have to find and download another tool to do this.

Good luck !

My point was (as my post was mostly satirical) the original poster needed to provide more information than \"my computer freezes, please help me\".  As there are literally thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of different configurations of computers that could possibly be used to play this game, people need a little more information, as has been plastered time and again on this very board.  Obviously, while you missed the point of my message, at least you knew to add in some extra information.

first post was a cry for help.... once i know someone would help me i woulda posted it

The idea is you help us to help you. Posting just to say \"ok, I\'ll help\" is a waste of forum space. Don\'t force us to do it- post your specs first.

Wait a couple of minutes and don\'t switch to another task while the game is loading!

You\'re the type of person that likes being called by a telemarketing company so that they can put you on hold immediately, don\'t you?

As was already said - don\'t just cry for help, provide information, or else people won\'t respond the way you want.  It\'s like you said \"please help me, but I\'m not going to tell you what with\".  It\'s like asking a question, but not paying attention to the answer.  Save some space & time, and just cut out the extra steps of unneccessary red tape, ok?
