I always told myself I wouldn't do this... that I wouldn't be that guy... 'Tis a dark day indeed. But I'll try to make it painless.
So, I bought PZ 3-ish months ago and it ran fine. I had no issues whatsoever, even when I started using the new forum releases. I took a break for about a month(ish) and upon trying to play again... I can launch the game, create a character and whatnot, and get ingame to the point of controlling him for about half a minute before everything simply freezes.
I've been trying on Steam most recently, but have used both Desura and standalone downloads too. I tried deleting the folder it's installed to and trying from scratch. I have an AMD Radeon HD 6800, and checked the drivers minutes before typing this. They're up to date, as is my version of Java. I ensured that I am using 32-bit Java as well, and that all past versions of it are uninstalled, as I read something about that on the FAQ.
I'm fairly confident this isn't a hardware problem (unless PZ just doesn't like AMD Radeon, but I couldn't find mention of that anywhere), as it's all very new and certainly not low-end. Is it possible that I'm having the issue described on the Tech FAQ as "After the “THIS IS HOW YOU DIED”-screen the game freezes or stops responding!", but that I get a bit further along than most people?
Any help would be appreciated. If there's more information that'd be useful, I'll do what I can to provide it. Thanks!
