I seem to be getting this reoccurring crash that seems to be related to Multi-party areas, and i just wanted to know if i was the only one.

this crash seems to occur just after or before a mission is started, in many instances I can hear the NPC speak over the communicator just before the crash occurs. I believe this is related to the random missions that will appear up at random during Quest wtihin Multi-party areas.


P.S. this crash may also occur when NPC's speak, yeah the ones noobs bring along as monster bait. Their constant babbling causes me to crash, not sure why, so BE COURTEOUS, and bring a real friend along.


UPDATE:

Thanks Chives (I MEAN RYOKO) that solution worked, but you wouldn't happen to know what I should do with an Laptop running on Windows 7, with Intel HD graphics and 3GB RAM, also using the lowest graphical settings. the tricky part is this laptop is running on a custom built driver. intel states that using a generic driver will not work. i suppose my only option is going to the manufacturers webpage. and looking for an update there

I have the same deal. Might be a good idea to post your setup, to see if everyone who has this problem is running on similar specs. I'm using windows 7 64-bit with intel HD graphics 4gb ram off my laptop, using the lowest settings possible.

I also have Intel HD integrated graphics, and had the crashing in multi-party areas. In this thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194343) I mentioned how I was able to get the proper video drivers installed and my computer to stop crashing.

Oh man you just put an end to three days of frustration for me. This totally fixed the problem. I was almost about to give up entirely. Thanks dude.

yes this happened to me as well. Anytime a chat bubble appeared, i'd crash. In fullscreen i wouldn't crash but it would lag terribly until it disapperared.

Updating drivers eliminated the issue.

I don't think I even have any driver upgrades available. What then? I seriously doubt I can buy another whole computer.

That's the key right there, I didn't think I needed to update either as Dell and their wonderful software was telling me I was fully updated. It wasn't until I went to the Intel website and searched for Intel HD drivers (Found Here (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Laptop+graphics+controllers&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+HD+Graphics&ProdId=3231&LineId=1101&FamilyId=39)) that I realized the drivers on my comp we not just old, but ANCIENT. You have to uninstall your OEM graphics driver first before installing the Intel driver though. Least, that's what I had to do :)

Glad this helped get some of you up and running!! ^_^v

I also got that warning/incompatibility notice from their website. I think their auto detect software is seeing the OEM driver installed. After I DL'd the up-to-date Intel driver though, and uninstalled the OEM driver, I didn't receive any warnings or issues during the new install.

I do understand where you are coming from though, just wanted to let you know how I got mine working :)

Thank you for reassuring me. Now I don't seem to have this problem anymore.

what are you specs, Chicken??? You should try going to the manufacturers webpage, for instant I have an Intel HD graphics on a Dell laptop, initally i went to dell's website, and downloaded what they said was the latest driver, which it was not, so I then went to intel's website and there I found waht i needed just as Ryoko did.

you should probably check the card manufacturer's website

MY SOLUTION:
my laptop
[spoiler-box]HP G72 Notebook laptop
Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
Intel HD Graphic*[/spoiler-box]

literally...since Alpha, which was unplayable for me, Benchmark, which i got scores well under 500 W/O shaders, and early beta i CONSTANTLY crash in multiparty/npc/interrupt event..

..yet now im able to play on setting 3 with shader no crash.

*if your laptop is like mine then your Intel HD Graphic Display has CUSTOM drivers MADE BY THE MANUFACTURE OF YOUR LAPTOP (my case HP), meaning you cant install [lastest]drivers directly from Intel, only by the manufacture...but theres a work around.
go to http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx and Find downloads by category:
[spoiler-box]http://i43.tinypic.com/ztvtph.jpg[/spoiler-box]
Product family:Graphics
Product line: Laptop graphics controllers
Product name: Intel® HD Graphics

download the lastest driverhttp://i47.tinypic.com/350wk5z.jpg and put the files in a folder called "sp#####" in your computer's SWSETUP folder located here:
[spoiler-box]http://i42.tinypic.com/2r3vvqe.jpg[/spoiler-box]
[spoiler-box]http://i46.tinypic.com/287q2j6.jpg[/spoiler-box]
*SWSETUP is where most driver are placed*

To install go into your folder that you created with the files you intalled and press Setup.exe and your done.

THIS IS A MANUAL INSTALLATION FOR DRIVERS. TRYING TO INSTALL FROM THE DEVICE MANAGER WONT WORK HERE[Device Manager will tell you that you are up to date with HP's drivers not Intel] BECAUSE THIS IS A INTEL GENERIC DRIVER NOT A CUSTOM BUILT BY YOUR LAPTOP MANUFACTURE.
