well when i load the game it loads fine, i can log in and run around, about 5-10 minutes of running round my game freezes and then comes back after about 5 seconds of having a black screen, then it happens again about 10 seconds later. after this my screen gets filled with squares which is nearly impossible to play, sometimes it just freezes comp-letely at a black screen. then i finally get back to my windows screen by closing the game somehow and my screens distorted because of the error. and when i open my ATI control centre and press 3D the 3D preveiw wont play and has an error with something about my Direct3D or the same when i choose the Video option. it talks about OpenGL or DL .

i will post back with screenshots, i have Windows updated. anyone know why this is happening :s .

i think i have updated my driver but i am not to sure on that one so please comment back.

what graphics card do u have and judging by ur level im guessing this has only just started happening recently?

i have a radeon X800 Series? and yes it has just happened recently about 5 days ago i just left it and i also have just bought a monkey before it all started to happen

Maybe its somethin to do with ATI as i have used their video cards and i think personally they suck, ithink some other games hav crashed usin ATI maybe there's a fix i dunno

Well, I have a X1300 and never had a problem with my AATI cards and games in general. Well, except Linux games as ATI Linux drivers suck baaaadly.

Air:

Judging roughly by the error:

A) Have you updated your card drivers?
B) Have your ever overclocked your card?

It seems that the VPU is overheating or with some defect.

i had this error to when overclocked my card
it could be reason.
try installing new drivers (detonater drivers are pretty good for ati cards)

what do you mean by detonater drivers? anyone got any links i could use, i would be very thankful

Detonator drivers are for Nvidia cards....
