Hi all,
Ok, I am not very good with computers and today I got a problem that really pisses me off!.. Every time I log in to EU, things work fine for like 30 seconds, then I get a total freeze. Nothing is working. I can't press ALT+TAB, and not CTRL, ALT + DEL. This happens in window mode as well. Mouse isn't moving, and the only thing I can do is to reboot my computer by turning the power off. It worked fine untill today, I have always been playing on max graphics and with everything enabled. I have a Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS. I have tryed a few things already: Window mode turning down graphics in client loader disable sound, ads reinstall Nvidia driver reinstall Entropia used system restore, and sat my computer a few days back nothing seems to work, and I have never had this problem before. Ohh, and I have tried to run Entropia on my lap top, that works fine. Does anyone have a clue on what I can try next? |

You could try giving us your PC specs, and you could try re-installing the game. Corrupt files maybe?
edit: Doh! I must be tired. You said you already re-installed the game. I never misread this many posts. |

This happened to me in January. Like you, I did various things to isolate the problem and attempt to fix it, but nothing worked and the freezes became more and more frequent.
Eventually the PC died completely and I still didn't know what the problem was, but a friend diagnosed a burnt-out motherboard. Sure enough, when I replaced the board (actually I got him to do it ), all was well.I don't know if you have the same problem, but be prepared for your machine to expire at any moment... |

I am currently having a wierd problem where my computer runs Entropia fine for about 1 hour and then i start rubberbanding terribly and it usually comes in spurts... I know it is not my connection because when i restart my comp and start EU again it is fine for an hour.. I was thinking maybe it had to do with my system memory having issues or perhaps a bad memory leak??? I have tried reinstalling EU, reinstalled my graphics drivers... Don't really know what else to try. I know i perhaps should have created a separate thread :P
I hope your problems work out. Sounds like a hardware issue as if it was working one second and the other it cut out completely then something has to be seriously wrong. |

As a long shot try reinstalling DirectX, or getting the latest updates for it. Run a game that uses OpenGL instead, if it still crashes I would start the look at the video card.
I would get some application to test your computer such as Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic which will test your RAM and stress your CPU and MB at the same time. It shouldn't put any pressure on your Video Card. If it works fine, I would replace the video card with another one that can run EU and see if that makes a difference. Shaz Monaro |

I think there maybe a problem on their end...server has been dropping quite a lot the last day or so and now I'm sitting looking at that hanging authorisation screen. Connection lost etc etc.... Escape to exit etc etc .....and apparently I'm already logged on if I try again straight away. I'm not alone with this prob either.
Nothing broken or changed at my end and I ain't rushing out to buy new parts until I know the cause for sure. t |

Thnx for all the replies, I have tried to reinstall DirectX also now, and adjusting my connection speed in the client loader. Nothing helps. I will try to see if other games freezes as well later. Right now I am setting up my laptop, so that I can use that for today.
Gotta make it to events and everything damn I am addicted! |

I advise reinstalling the windows . . .
As time passes, registry keys gather up, video/audio codecs overlay each other, applications interact with each other etc... a fresh new copy of windows xp/vista usually solves these kinds of problems (problems that appear over night) |
