Radeon 9800 Pro here.. having problems logging in with DX.. with OGL I can log in but the screen flickers in an odd way.
Just about at the end of my tolerance with the game. it is the first game for me in years that didn't run out of the box. Once my free month is up I am likely going to throw in the towel if things don't improve.
Cheers,
CD
Freeze douring loading
Re: Freeze douring loading
I'm having the same problem with freezing after the character selection screen. It's gotten to the point now where it can take me 15 minutes to log into the game. This is totally unacceptable! I have an Nvidia card and I'm not behind a firewall nor am I running the xp firewall.
I like the game alot but I'm at wits end now with trying to get into it. Let's see....billing starts on the 16th? Will have to change that option rapidly if this problem isn't addressed soon.

Re: Freeze douring loading
Try defragging and scandisk your PC that may help. Also make sure nothing is running in the background while loading up SoR. Check video and sound card drivers, make sure they are up to date.

NVidia card here (5900 XT), Sygate Firewall, no router.
I have seen the same thing happen fairly randomly - usually no problems, but occasionally it freezes when the loading bar is filled up, and after killing the game with alt-f4 it takes another one to three tries to log in (usually just one).
Whether or not it was coincidence, the problem seems to be most prevalent on the newbie island and with the two fyros characters I have. Well, actually just one of them since I have not had the problem at all the last four days.

Re: Freeze douring loading
ok now that i got my "smart a@@" comments out of the way.....i actualy ran into this problem today for the first time.
i have an NVidia 5200 card. and i caught the "empty trainer building bug" for wich they tell you to log out and back in and you will be placed in your starting city. Well when i tried to log back in (fryos character) it would not go past the loading screen. the bar filled all the way up and then it stuck there for over 30 minutes. It seems that this bug is more prevelant on ATI cards. but as we can see its not JUST ATI cards anymore. and it does seem to mostly affect Fryos characters. I know the similarities are all obvious by now but maybe by restating them over and over again the devs will take notice and take a deeper look into this.
