    Figured I needed a more powerful graphics card.
    My computer meets and exceeds your minimum requirements and I have not found the money to buy a new graphics card yet.
    Intel core I7 cpu 860 2.80 ghz 8gb ram 64 bit.
    amd radeon hd 5700 series 15.201.11.51.1008
    Someone helped me get pc unstuck by switching to private mode. But I can't play the game in private mode can I? Wouldn't be the same.

    So now what do I do? How do I play the game?

    @Sly Hunter Are you hanging on load screens, is that what you are saying? If you can describe the behavior you are seeing that would help us greatly. "Stuck" can have a few meanings.
    Did you uninstall and reinstall the game before patching today? I would make sure the install is completely clean.
    What have you tried to do to troubleshoot this so far? Ultimately this is going to be software troubleshooting (we need to narrow some things down).
    I assume you are on the fastest setting?

    If I twirl in a circle it gets stuck midway and I have to crash out of the game.
    If I go to open inventory it gets stuck with an unopened inventory, while in ardoris.
    Installed a new game today. My HD crashed and I lost everything, got a new HD a week ago. Same problem it has now it had 3 years ago. Maybe it was 2 years ago.
    Small towns there is lag until it is fully loaded. Big towns causes everything to stop working.
    Walking into Ardoris I get loading lag. I sit and wait for everything to stop loading. Then I try to turn and it gets stuck mid turn. Or I try to move and it gets stuck mid move.

    Stops working how? Is it 'windows not responding' and it crashes? Do any crash logs appear that you can share?
    Have you updated your video drivers? Are you on dx12? You are on the lowest possible video settings?
    If you can use /bug in game and paste those results here maybe we can get a better picture of what is happening.
    Is your anti-virus program and firewall set to fully allow Sota?

    This is currently not a known issue we have, but I'd like to help you out if we can. But it is going to be a bit of a shot in the dark here. Even 2-3 years ago this wasn't happening to me (and I was on a pretty bad machine at home at the time before I upgraded!)
    I'm sorry for the issues.

    stops doing anything. hit I nothing happens. scroll the pic nothing happens. click the X to close the page and error pops up that window is not responding.
    Yes, read the history of the damn thread. fastest, I posted the stats. It was crashed 3 years ago and it's still crashed in the same town. now can you compare my graphics card to the required graphics card for me? It looks like mine is better but I may be reading it wrong.

    amd radeon hd 5700 series 15.201.1151.1008
    I posted them here

    ok, I'll repeat again.
    intel core i7 cpu 860 @ 2.8 ghz 8gb ram 64 bit amd radeon hd 5700 series 15.201.1151.1008


    original thread that temporary fixed my problem by having me go private and leaving town --> that allowed me to type /bug command to get to this forum. https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/help-stuck-in-ardoris.115082/

    ok retelling my story.
    I created a duel wpn expert when told I needed to create a bow character so I was far west of everything being made. I had no problems playing the game other than the occasional lag. I raced through death valley's to get to the noob area on the east side and played the game over there kinda. I had severe lag every time the screen loaded a new area. When I approached a large populated area it got STUCK. would not move. would not open inventory would not turn would not do any thing. clicking on window pane X ask popped up error unresponsive program.

    Someone told me to switch to private mode which I did and the lag went away. I left town. While circling the view looking at the map it froze again. and I had to crash out again. even though I was in private mode.
    I did /debug before that and got a speed thingy of 15.38fps. I did /bug and it brought me to this forum and I continued the conversation, forgetting that you might not be privy to the original conversation.
    It doesn't work. It didn't work three years ago and it doesn't work today.

    haven't tried offline-mode.
    But I can download a 4 hours movie in less than 5 minutes via Torrent. I got something like 300mbps download via Spectrum.

    @Sly Hunter Your GPU is under the minimum specs.
    You can check the minimum specs for the GPU from here and here.

    I don't see it in either links but I'm thinking the graphics card I have is 1010 and I need 1070?
    So the CPU is fine and the $399 video graphics card I found will work?
    But it might be smarter to get the $1400 computer from Newegg because odds are future expansions will have higher requirements. ie. 3.4 ghz instead of the 2.8 I have.

    OK Thanks.

    Same problem as 3 years ago. I can't spend money on computer until I have a car. Been a rough 3 years.

    As someone mentioned above, your GPU is under minimum specs. Also, with 8GB of system ram (especially running Windows 10), you are going to have issues. If you are going to order a new computer, get at least 16GB MINIMUM.
