Update all drivers, including sound and graphics, then update DirectX to 9.0c. Also download any updates/patches/hotfixes from Microsoft Update. Also, check to make sure that your resolution settings in Windows match your Silkroad in-game resolution settings.

Mabey I got a solution it worked for me =)

Make a new acc on you computer and install sro on it and voila you can play (atleast I can =\ ) O, yes I don't know if it makes a difference but don't make that Computer acc leader

I get the ????? error, just after i press start to launch the game.

I have this error for a long time now, even though i moved from an nvidia card to a ati card and havd always the latest drivers. The problem is from joymax, not from our cards and drivers.

However, the ???? error doesnt bother me, cause i just restart the launcher and everything is ok.

I never encountered the error in game.

I think this error is more common in ATI (the one I have now) it appears at lunch. when I had Nvidia it was rare.

My spec

OS : Windows XP Professional Edition Service Pack 2
CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
Memory : Physical(1918.4MB), Page(3812.2MB), Virtual(2047.9MB)

where can i find the SilkRoad folder :S :banghead:

It's where you installed Silkroad on your computer. Most likely(if you didn't change the default location) it should be in your Program Files folder. Go to your desktop, then My Computer, then Local Disk C, then Program Files and you should see a Silkroad folder in there. Then just do what the maker of this thread says to do.

The Firewall thing wasnt the fix, sound card driver is the problem :roll:

when I turn all sounds off I do not experience any crashes but with sound on a crash occurs... :shock:

so for people who get this error sound card driver updates =) :wink:

No. I get the error with the sound off... and I use Windows 98 too. It must be something else (at least in my case). I also tried updating the NVidia driver but it's not the problem either.

Im experiencing the error a lot, over the last few days.

Gonna reinstall sro now, maybe that fixes the normal Disconnects too.
