I am close to giving up now, that is happening mostly when I zone and most likely when I enter zones with large items - like the guild hall - or when walking around inside it and going from one floor to the next. But in general it happens every 30-40 minutes ...

The most frequent thing is "critical error"  and quite often when it crashs I can see several of these have accumulated in the background. Right now for example I had two, they say "application ran out of memory when requesting 195888 bytes (limit 1534MB, current 868MB)" and another one says "... when requesting 1048608 bytes (limit 1534MB, current 868MB).

Makes little sense, does it?

Sometimes it crashs with an "unrecoverable error" (1 out of 5 maybe?) as well and very rarely it even generates a blue screen.

I did not have that problem around 3 month ago but I can't pin down when exactly it happend besides that it was at the end of the AoD beta (I got in late). It is independent of playing in Freeport or anywhere else but it seems very old zones and old dungeons cause slightly less of it and I can zone a few times.

Hardware/drivers: I had before today an Athlon 64 x2 4200 with 2GB Corsair and a Geforce 7900GS 256MB. As of today I have a Phenom X6 1055GT with 2GB Corsair and Geforce GTX 460 (PNY Overclocked version, not overclocked by me, it comes as is). No change in Ram, still an AM2/AM2+ board with DDR2 ram. That whole thing runs on WinXP 32bit with latest servicepacks etc., latest DirectX 9 and Nvidia drivers with PhysX. I use Zonealarm and Avira Antivirus - none of these changed between no-crashs and now crashs.

If you need anything else to help me please ask. I'm truly fed up now.

Edit: Oh yes and it is of course the streaming client I use, latest launcher pad. And my system runs on German language just in case (I've seen a MMO before where anything not english would cause insane graphics problems). And yes, I opened a ticket with DXdiag and msinfo32, just trying to get an answer fast. :-/

Just in case someone else has that problem, Customer support refered me to that post http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=506883 and it actually works with 2GB in 32bit systems too. Not exactly perfect but much better now, could play one time almost three hours straight despite some zoning.
