Wehen i play my game, its star wars galaxies if that matters, it seems to crash after about 5 minutes of play. I meet all the minimum requirements for the game so i dont understand why. Is it the codeing in the game or is it my computer could someon help me out please.

i have 735mb of ram
nvidia Geforce2 integrated GPU
amd athalon processor at 1396mhz
and windows 2k with service pack 4

No i reckon its your slow processor not sure though, Did the game ever work b4

 

[paolucci]

yes it worked fine right beofre they released a new patch, after that i have been crashing. My frind plays with no problems though.

 

[Dynamix]

Why dont u try reinstalling the game the patch might have nackered things up, once i had the same problem as you and after a reinstall it worked fine.

I would get a new graphics card though. a Radeon 9600 pro 128 is good and cheap.
