Asheron's Call Problems and Solutions
In doing my testing of Asheron's Call, I had a TON of trouble. My system is running the latest drivers, and works fine with all other games, but Asheron's Call just kept crashing. If this happens to you, here's some of the things I did to fix this:
Manually Update to 1.01
This download file is 82 meg but I've heard from MANY people that this finally got them working properly. Go to http://zone.msn.com/asheronscall/downloads.asp and wait the few hours for it to download. This one act might take care of everything.
Download the Lastest ActiveX
ActiveX is a graphic language that lets game programs draw things on your screen. You need to be sure you have the latest version on your system. To get it, go to http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp.
Check All of your Drivers
It's amazing how out of date video drivers or sound card drivers can cause you trouble. Go to the website of whoever created your cards (video and sound) and update the latest driver for both.
Check your System Speed
It could simply be that your system is running too slowly to work properly. You can find this out by asking your computer to figure out how a request from you ends up at Asheron's Call. You do this by:
- Going to a DOS prompt.
- Typing TRACERT ZONE.MSN.COM
This will show you how you get there and how slow it is. If there's a point at which it hangs, or a spot where there's a big time gap between two spots, it's time to complain to your ISP or phone company.
