Hi all, My Graphics seam to run nice and sharp on the standard settings but every time I get a new load in screen it aether takes a long time to load or dose not load at all and I have to close the program. Is this a case of needed a better graphics card or something else?

    I suffer from the same problem. At the recommended graphic setting the loading screens take, either, a very long time or just hang completely. Setting the graphics to low or minimum tends to cut loading times a fair amount.
    A possible reason? Maybe it's due to the relative sizes of the graphics textures - I have a new graphics card on the way (nVidia 250 GTS), so maybe the loading problems could be solved (for me anyway).

    This is a problem I've been having since launch of open beta.. seems like its a card issue.. might also be a processor issue.

    i had the same problem, worked out the only way to get past load screen stalls was to lower world texture quality to 50, then go back up while i play, but have to remember to set it down whenever i have to warp or i have to restart, all other times it runs fine with gfx turned up.

    hope this helps

    Usually it is a system issue, however during peak times, the server gets under heavy load and may slow load times a little. DOn;t worry though, as cryptic are improving stability every single day. ( You should have seen it during Open Beta :eek:
