Welp, the time has come to get a good look at this "miracle patch" everyone is talking about. Supposedly, it makes the game nearly flawless in performance... even on lower-end systems.

And just in time for the pvp event tomorrow (err.. today)

-see u ingame

Running smooth. Though, I'm glad I've got a new computer on the way as my current PC just can't really handle the demand.

I stopped playing because of the constant crashing, but decided to try again with this new patch. I patched, got in, buffed to level 20. I ran around for 3-4 minutes and pressed ESC to bring up the menu--crash to desktop.

Sad to say, this will be the last time I give this game a try anytime soon. Maybe in a year or so when it is playable in Vista.

The ESC bug is very minor and they're aware of it. It wont be an issue at launch. Actually, the same thing happened to me - but, it only happened once. Thereafter it never CTDd again.

I'd say you're missing out on a great game if that's the only reason you've got not to try it. And in a year, you'll most likely be playing Spore, Jumpgate, and/or WAR... it's kinda like "get it while it's hot."

You COULD also grab a pre-order card and play for 10 days (to judge the release client) and simply not get the pre-order when it's available. It's worth it for $5.

I never crashed on my end when hitting ESC. Just a bug error popped up, and I pressed continue, and the game popped back up a few seconds later.
