For those of you recieving runtime errors, it is suggested that you install the most recent graphic card drivers. The ones present in the Databank section of our homepage are NOT the most recent graphic drivers.
You can download the most recent graphic drivers at:
Most recent Nvidia GeForce driver released Sept 01, 2006.
Most recent ATI RADEON driver released Aug 18, 2006.
If you have not updated since then, getting the newest drivers *may* fix some or all of your question mark errors under the new patch.
Well, I suppose it's nice they actually addressed the issue. But I'm running current drivers and still get the error........so whatever. Maybe some will find this news helpful, and hey......if nothing else, at least they updated their drivers!
hmm... maybe that is why silkroad is still abit laggy even when i turned everything off... haven't updated my driver for 4 years. LOL ( I have a 96mb graphic card)
I'm not so sure that downloading these drivers is a good idea. First of all, you will still probably get d/c frequently. (I have heard that that box w/ the question marks is actually a safe kick to prevent the servers from crashing like they did awhile ago. This is yet to be confirmed.) Second of all, I d/l the drivers from their website awhile ago (before this update) and the install bombed and I couldnt roll back my drivers and i got the black screen after boot so i had to reinstall os. Also, like Chrystos said, the new Radeon drivers didn't work. However thats just my oppinion, do whatever you like, ur prolly more knowledgeable about hardware than i am. (im somewhat of a n00b.)

Right now it's laggy because the server is clogged with people downloading the new patch, and very busy with people logging in and out, being disconnected because they bot or they need a new driver or the patch is glitchy. In any case there is way more server activity than usual and it always lags after this size of update.
MARKsman, I have downloaded and installed the newest Geforce drivers and have had no problems. Downloading new drivers is always a good idea, but it is also a good idea to be prepared to roll them back if you have a problem. You don't have to keep it but you should try it out in case it works better than what you have.
Well i Installed the new drivers and the error still happen, but in a inferior number of times!!!!
Plus i had a bonus with the new drivers (!) the Silkroad page doesnt load any pictures, avatars, banners... nothing! but text! it happens with firefox and with internet explorer....
Oh well you can't ask to muchof a free game, right?

i'm constantly getting lag spikes after this update, kinda answers maybe why... but how come 90% of people are unaffected?

SRO has shader 2.0 requirements i think, so if you are running a nice 32mb thats old, it may only supoort 1.0 and your net framework depends as well, the motherboard drivers too, i just advise you too update everything, even sound drivers lol, SRO is a very sensitive piece of software lol
