Video Card Recommendation? |
|
I just got a new computer with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB video card.
The game runs fantastically outdoors but inside (like dungeons) the game freezes up. I have been round and round and round again with Turbine tech support answering the same questions for them 4 and 5 times.
I can only conclude the card and AC are incompatable. Since the computer is less than a week old I need to see if I can swap it out for a different model card.
Does anyone have any suggestions of cards that WILL WORK with AC?

Have not tried that? Also Turbine tech support hasn't recommended that and honestly I wouldn't know how to do that?

Log completely out of AC , then go to your AC folder and rename the client_cell.dat to client_cell.bak or something else .
Then you are aleady done and can log in again , the client_cell.dat will be recreated and you have to download all places again.
If that doesn't fix your problem , delete the new cell_client.dat and rename the old one to client_cell.dat again.

I tried renaming that file but then I couldn't log in at all?
Nobody knows a card compatible with AC? I'm totally fed up and am going to return the computer in it's entirety. Nothing but a weeklong nightmare of tech support email tag with no solutions or really even hope of solutions. I will return the computer, get a different one (make, model, vendor) with a different card (make, model, vendor) and hope for the best.

Any GForce card has always been compatable with AC.

Exactly what I did. I was able to get the ATI returned and I picked up an Nvidea. Game runs great although I have that flicker bug which according to the tech support forum on the Turbine boards is commonplace. I can live with that and the game runs fantasically now.

I run 2 x1900 series ATI Radeons in crossfire and never have any issues. No lag in the last live event with 2 accounts active loaded with decal.
Driver updates are a good thing,
