Runes of Magic US / AU

Nice, I uninstalled the game and used the clean install one-patch thingy while the servers were down for maintenance. I did this to fix the flashing water.

Good: water fixed.
Bad: now I am crashing more than I ever have b4.

Not from being in a crowded zone or around over-used graphics that lag everyone out, I was out in Aslan far away from anyone, gathering and avoiding mobs when possible, I click on an ore and crash.

I restart the game and load that character, it gets half-way loaded and I crash, repeat this once more.

So I reboot my computer and finally get back into the game on that character. This happens again about 25-30 minutes later.

I quit the game (because logging into another character nowadays is just asking for a crash), restart the game and load another character, Central Veranas for the craft event. I do the event, turn it in and crash.

Is this going to be the norm? I can find other ways to get this aggravated without RoM's help. Was not crashing b4 the clean install and the patch. Thank you for making my week interesting (like in the curse: "May you live an interesting life.").

I do not know if I can stand any more problems being fixed.

Ciao,
Dave
