Silkroad will intermittently lock up on me. I can play for over 6 hours sometimes without a problem, other times it will lock up after about and hour, other times, within 5 seconds...
What I've tried so far (that I can remember, in order as well as I can remember)
reinstalled silkroad
re-download silkroad, and reinstalled with the new download
tried different chipset drivers
uninstalled my printer drivers
killing punkbuster through tasmanager, thinking punkbuster and GG were dicking around with me
reformatted (wrote zeros and everything)
took out my sound card and used my onboard sound
still locks up.
My system specs:
AMD Athlon64 x2 5200+
2x1GB DDR2 800
DFI LanParty UT 590 SLI M2R/G
Nvidia 8600GTS 256mb
Corsair vx450w
250GB Western Digital Caviar drive and 250GB Maxtor drive, both serial 3.0
SONY DVDRW 16x (IDE)
Windows XP Home (tried both SP3 and SP2)
I am using the latest drivers, and I do have it set to use only one core in the task manager. I'm running Silkroad in 1280x1024 (monitor's native resolution) and on "middle" graphic settings, with both visual ranges set to 5. It locked up on Large Scale Battle settings too. This is the ONLY thing I have problems with. I have another thread on it at a forum called techpowerup, they were unable to help, but I figured maybe you guys can.
