Ok, todays been really busy and I appriciate that, People want to see whats new and try it out ect... but.. wow, I cant get in. keep getting the "Disconnected to the server" message and when it finally gets passed that and fades out to black to get to the character select screan my game crashes with the "????" error...
I've tried this with 2 different accounts, reinstalled with manual patch and the same happens. Anyone Help?

Just tried beta nvidia Graphic drivers aswell... No Luck....
(this isnt an "Nvidia" problem as i'm aware of, somebody using ATI also has this problem.)

My bro got a video card and it never ever happens to him anymore. And the disconnected from server part is a real bitch. I tried a couple of times but gave up after a while The reason is disconnects you is because the other millions of people around the world are downloading the update and things get crowded and busy.

ahh, this fixed it for me:
Run the "sro_client.exe" and "Silkroad.exe" in compatibility mode for windows 2000. works like a charm.

I get the same error. Just when the character screen is about to load, the launcher crashes. Every time. I haven't been able to play for three days now!
I know it's a free game and you shouldn't complain and all that, but this is REALLY starting to piss me off! Fix the problem ffs!
And running in compatibility mode doesn't help.
