Crash when creating new char

I want to make an alt, but whenever I pick race/gender/traits and click next to choose the looks of character, game crashes to the desktop. No matter what race/gender/traits I choose.

ANy chance to proceed and make me my science officer? ;)

    By chance, are you running on multiple monitors? Someone else was having a game crash issue on multiple monitors after selecting traits and moving on to customization.

    Yeah, I got the Eyefinity setup of 3x26" Dells for review.... must be the case then. Will switch it off, and then make my alt. Thanks again mate.

    Let me know if switching off the multi-monitors actually works and allows you in. If so this is something that needs to be reported to Cryptic and fixed.

    Confirmed - switched off Eyefinity, and on single display it works perfectly. Turned back Eyefinity and game crashes when moving past traits window. Seems it's time for a ticket.

    IIt's not game breaking bug... but people who plan to use on multi displays should be aware of it, otherwise the trolls will rise again "OMG I cant has gamez" :P Like there would be MMO without tech problems in the market :P

    Are you running the 10.2 2/17/2010 drivers?

    Yup, newest batch, on 5870, i920, 6gb ram and Win7 64bit. But once you disable Eyefinity problem is solved, so disable it, log in, create alt, logout, enable 3 displays and gaming is then seamless

    BTW, had to lower the AA/visuals quality a bit - AAx2, AFx8 - even 5870 can't run that game in max details in 5760x1200 :)
