The best part of SWG was the easy account cancellation process.

I'd read in here somewhere someone saying something about crashing when harvesting, or some such. I'm considering picking this up, as I'm very close to the burn-out point in CoH again. I'm a bit concerned about the crashing issue. I'd rather avoid that if I can... So, what I'm asking, is there a problem with ATI cards(Specifically 9600 Pro) in WoW? Any particular driver version, or whatever?
Thanks,
Alkiera

It's really just two zones that you hit in the 40+ range. Zoning in to blackrock spire I got a lot of lockups that would usually have me fall into a pit of lava. Searing Gorge has one particular area that if you hunt around/ look in the direction of in a certain range it'll crash the ATI driver entirely. Dunno if they've fixed this or not, since I just swapped out my old nVidia card instead.
Edit: Doh it's Searing Gorge, not Burning Steppes. I confuse those two a lot.

I have a 9800pro AIW and i sometimes get driver "resets" where the card locks up and then does a sofware reset. But it only happnes in Searing Gorge area, and only when looking in a specific area.

I did 43-49 or so in Searing Gorge with an X800 Pro and I've never crashed. At work atm so I can't tell you the driver version I have, but this thread reminds me I haven't updated the driver in a few months..
I've never gone into blackrock spire, but I assume I will be heading there soonish..

I had issues in one system with a 9800 Pro... all issues turned out to be heat and/or overclocking issues. At the time I wasn't in any of those zones, and I always use the latest drivers. Once I brought stuff closer to stock speeds, everything normalized. System using a X800XT has never had a single hiccup, in any zone.

I have used a 9600 almost my entire time in WoW and haven't had any such problems. The only time I ever had lockup problems with WoW was in the first month of release, I was running an AMD CPU that was overclocked. I turned off the OCing and the problems went away.

The card I had problems with was a 9800 ATI Pro.
I should also note, however, that 1) I didn't realize at the time I needed to update my BIOS from 128 to 256 video ram and 2) My computer only has 512MB of ram because I'm NOT spending $300 for another 512 of RDRAM.
I've since reinstalled that card (since I couldn't play America's Army with the old nVidia) and with the BIOS memory increased and turning-down the texture detail just a tick or two I haven't had a problem in about 4 days.
