Question for other users whose game crashes:
Have you tried to just start a single player game? (it crashes in the same way for me there the same as when I join a server)
* *updated note on single player. after multiple retries and experimenting with graphics settings, I found one constant. It crashes consistantly when an arrow just misses you, i.e. an archer shoots at you and its really close, but just barely a miss. **
I've seen a lot of people mention windows 7/64bit. But Mesmer mentioned this bug on xp.
2 points:
1) does anyone have windows 7/64 bit and it works?
2) and what video card are you using? (both the people who crash and the random person for whom it works)
I've got an ati card and windows 7/64 for reference and it always crashes.
