<div></div><p>My wife and I are both using a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card in our systems.  The two systems are clones that I made but since I recently updated my drivers and my wife has not, I have been receiving the same error both on live and test servers after about 15 - 30 minutes of play.  My wife has yet to receive any error like this.  I believe that its due to the most recent ATI Update Drivers.  Maybe there is something in the drivers that is not supported yet by SOE.</p><p>Did you update your drivers recently??  If so, see what happens if you restore your original drivers.</p>

<div></div>Full install from original disk resolved the problem.  ATI has a tool on their site that will actually remove all current drivers I reccomend that you use that before doing a re-install.

<div></div>You need to downgrade your catalyst drivers back to version 5.2, anything after that can crash the game for ATI cards.
