I played for 1 day without any problem then the next day it start to do this.

I have no problem with final fantsy online,WOW and BF2 which are demanding also.

If that video card is an ATI Radeon x800 Pro 256mb then it has Pixel Shader Version 2.0 Vertex Shader Version 2.0 support which is better than my video card I have. I run at max resolution and have very little to no slow downs and never get any errors.

My system specs summarized
~2.2g AMD (Athlon if I remember correctly)
1g Ram
240g HDD 2 separate drives with swapping file and VM on second drive
GeForce4 Ti 4800se 128mb
Pixel Shader Version: 1.3
Vertex Shader Version: 1.1

Granted I am not in front of my PC right now cause I am at work but I have yet to get an error about Vertex Shader. You might want to make sure you have the latest downloaded drivers for your Video card. If your running the latest check the forums for ATI and see what is the current driver most use with the least amount of issues.

Just remember specs aren't everything. The hardware has to be tested and compatible with your motherboard. I had 1 gig ram before but come to find out the ram I was using for my motherboard wasn't compatible with the motherboard and I would have strange crashes even though less memory intensive programs would never crash. Check your manufacturers website for your memory to make sure your Motherboard is listed for that type of memory as just something else to look at. You will notice a difference when you use products that have been tested for your MB by a manufacturer and says it will work. Plus they are more willing to help you if something does go wrong with their product when they say it will work with your system.

No what I was getting at, is that I don't have any problems with my system specs and the origanal guy is with better specs than I have. lol

-- The post above just to make sure you understand I am not having problems... LOL but thanks for the advice.



I know my card is old but I bought the best card when i built my system ground up so I would save money in the long run. I plan on getting by for 2 more years. That is 6 years of having the same PC and then build another making it well worth the 1100 I spent on building this computer. I have had a few minor upgrades since building it. Got an Antec case and swapped from have a CD-rw to a DVD-rw and had to switch memory cause I didn't use appropriate memory when I first built it.

edited to make sure it didn't sound mean or rude.

I did take a little offense to it cause I think you missed the point I was getting at, but it didn't bother me someone slamming on my specs cause i slam on them myself. LOL

Oh I know my system isn't great anymore and it will get slammed most of the time. But for some reason performance wise i can make it do more than what it probably looks like it can do. Granted it can't run everyhing maxed out but everything I care about is maxed and I am enjoying it. It did help when i got the Antec case and lowered the heating problem I had from my previous case. Previous case heating playing intensive games for the CPU was around 85-90C switching to the antec case even during heavy intensive programs it is now at 57-65C The max threshhold for the processor I have is 90C which obviously I was pushing too often so I am running more optimal than I was.

I've encountered the same problem last night. I'm using the trial version too so it might be a trial only problem. I played a few days with the trial before the patch and never had any problem. Yesterday was the first time I loged in since the patch and it tooks about 10min before I get this error and then I was unable to log back on this character. Loging on another character was working fine untill that one crashed too.

I didn't send anything to EQ2 support because my trial account is probably expiring today (if it's 7 days) and I doubt I'll buy the full version soon due to this bug (also gonna wait untill all the bad commments on last patch goes down a bit).

Edit : Looking on the boards I found this to fix the problem, which seems to be a trial thing... Fix...
Hope this can help...
