Game freezing and graphics glitches

[rfachini]

10:28 closed loading the desert with windows side bar and IE off.
Object draw distance was still on low.
As much as it pains me to do it, I'm going to try turning DX10 off. I paid $5000 for a Vista machine so I could play DDO in DX10. It was great until mod 9 when the freezes started happening. It's a shame that Turbine can't code DDO to run mod 9 on an ATI card.

This is freaking rediculous now.
Direct X 10 is OFF, and instead of freezing when I load the desert, I get a crash to desktop. 5:50 PM Pacific time.

After all this time and numerous posts and bug reports, I finally got an e-mail from Turbine support saying there are no known issues with my ATI card. There is a serious lack of communication issue going on here.

i dont know what happened to my search ability. it just dissapeared. i dont know weather this is a glitch or not. i was doing a quest and it just dissapeared. Any info?

[rfachini]

That's definitely not a graphics driver issue.

You may have inadvertently moved the icon from your hotbar. Open your character sheet and move the search skill back to your hotbar.

I have just patched vista with service pack 2 and installed ATI Catalyst™ 9.10 Display Driver for Windows Vista (64 bit) and everything is working perfectly.
Got DX10 enabled (although i have not reinstated Aero) and the game is super gorgeous.
I have not had one crash since.

I have a Mobility Radeon ATI 3870 Video card from Alienware. Is there any way I can get the 9.10 Catalyst driver to work with my card? I have had very little support from Turbine, ATI, or Alienware. I get the feeling you need a degree in computer science to run a videogame these days.

new player here, i have a VERY high end pc and this game should be nothing to play it, i have the same problems, about 15-20 minutes into the game the screen will flicker and go to black and lock up, i can do nothing but a hard reboot. i play at least 10 other games that require a high end machine which is why i bought this and i have never had an issue until i downloaded this game... even when i was in the character creation area it locked up while i was reading about the characters... it almost looks like what happens when a vid card gets too hot, i know mine isnt though

[Kleetuss]

oh yeah i have a nvidia g-card and vista... after reading all the posts on the forum about this the only thing in common i have found is that everyone seems to be running vista

Nope, XP and Nvidia 8800GT here.

Although my screen gets it's display corrupted rather than going black when it freezes.

I updated my driver and still crashed today loading gianthold. The error mentions the paging file:

00000000.000: ----CRASH REPORT START----

Not enough virtual memory or paging file quota is available to complete the specified operation.
