Hey folks! I'm having a problem with my ATI card and I think you folks are more computer literate than I am, so I thought you may have some ideas. I'm currently playing EQ2 to pass the time until something new and good (read: HJ) comes out, and I had played EQ2 before but quit, but now I'm back. I am however having huge video card issues. I'm using an old ATI x300/550 PCIe card, which works great with any other game.. WoW, Battlefield 2, Civilization, FFXI.. But when it comes to EQ2, it just is not happy. I'll be in the midst of combat and my screen freezes for about 10-20 seconds, then IF it comes back up, I get a VPU recovery message. If it doesn't fix itself, it just dies to a black screen and I have to reboot.
I've tried playing with settings, including putting the game in extremely high performance mode, but I still get the same crashing/freezing problem. Anyone who currently or used to play EQ2 have any ideas? I've tried changing drivers, turning sounds off, turning particles off, and nothing has helped.
