Constant client crashes

[Zozobra]

Over the last three - four days I've had constant crashes in both the OS & instances, the client freezes, Win 7 spends up to a minute recovering it, all is fine for another couple of minutes and then another freeze/crash/recover.

Has anybody else had anything similar? or is my fairly ancient machine finally giving up on me?

I had downloaded the latest catalyst drivers on Friday on Saturday morning in an attempt to improve things, but there's no change.

It is the second time this morning, that my client is crashing during a mission ( and i am losing my nice fallback ship :P).
When i try to connect to burningsea.com it is not responding for 1-2 minutes. So i doubt it is in your end.

They could be similar to the disconnects i've been experiencing on XP just about every day i've used this program. Ship freezes, becomes unresponsive to commands, and eventually client crashes.

Client doesn't crash per se for me, it is rather the graphics driver that crashes. (intel gma 4500mhd, with the latest driver available) This happens mostly shortly (a few seconds) after logging in, and then everytime. One workaround I have found that helped until now was creating an alt char and log in on that one first for a while.

I think the client is sending garbage data to the graphics driver.

same here
after the last patch i started to crash once per hour.

after turning down graphics so its really ugly it got way more stable
maybe crash every 4 hours or so
but then the game really looks ugly
