Silkroad Online Forums

I got 2 problems on 2 different computers.

1st Computer: When I play for a while, my screen freezes up. I can ctrl-alt-deleat out but then i gotta spend 10 hours logging in. I googled the problem, and found that alot of ppl have it in alot of different games. This one dude playing LOTR has it and his solution was to hit alt-enter to window mode the game and it would unfreeze. I tried it out when i got the bug and it worked. The screen unfroze. Took 2 steps and it froze up again. Kinda annoying to unfreeze it over and over and over.

This 1 other guy said to change the frames rendered from 3 to 0 and it should help it. tried it and it did not do anything. When the screen freezes the game still continues. I can talk on vent and ppl say they see my char doing w/e i click on. I can use pots with the screen frozen and it will pot me. I can continue to spam skills in pvp and they work just fine so I know its an issue with either the video card or driver. I updated drivers to the newest and it did nothing.

I am useintg a geforce 7300gt video card. its a pos and i should prolly get a new one

FIXED
2nd computer: I have not played SRO on this comp in a long time. Recently I tried to play and I got a client is corrupted message. I went and reinstalled the client with the newest version from the site. it installed fine, updated fine, but the client still wont launch. says its corrupted. I then networked my 2 comps together and send my SRO from the working comp to the other one. That client also says its corrupted but it works fine on the 1st computer so I know its not the silkroads/clients fault that its not working. gameguard connects fine on it. i can ping joymax servers. i can download updates with the client. i just cant launch the game on that computer.


if anyone knows anything about those 2 problems, let me know. thx in advanced.

I don't know about the first computer but i had the same problem about the corruputed client. I made a new admin account on windows XP and installed it from there and it worked fine.

this should solve problem2

problem1
you got any temperature measuring software? your card/pc might overheating try checking that.

you overclocked your card?
if yes try to reset it back to normal settings
if not try the mini screen feature of silkroad set it to 800x600 maybe your card can`t handle silkroad anymore for a long time think having a smaller resolution can solve it.

well that fixed the 2nd problem.

as for the 1st, my video card is not overclocked. it runs at 40c without sro and 45-50c with sro running so i dont think its the temp. i did try to overclock it to fix the problem, was able to get it to run very very fast and the temp went up to 61c max. did not leave it overclocked but i know i can overclock it alot without burning it.

gonna try to run it in windowed mode and see if i freeze up at all.

not too ready to run it at 800x600. makes me feel like im playing with big lego blocks.
