Min graphical issues

[uncanny]

I've been hanging around hells again, and I've noticed something really quite frustrating.

Pretty much any other are of HG my graphics card works like it should (it's an aging 7950 Golden-Sample running at factory clock settings). I can crank the graphics all the way with no noticeable downgrade.

However in Min, I find that I will be subject to crashes, intense graphical lag and/or client lag. By client lag I mean, I am getting everyone else's chat text in usual time; however mine is delayed by up to 3 mins.

This only happens in the town map.

Disabling shiny water should fix this I guess.

That plus a lot of other things. I've been through all the settings on a one-by-one basis and I have to go all the way down (no shiny water, all optional "extra's" un-ticked, no shadows..).

Do you get the same issue in Myconids?

Thanks,

Sounds like what i have....

I have an ATI Radeon X1600 gfx card in my laptop. I just downloaded the newest driver, all settings are on low, compatibility mode, or unchecked, HG is in low mode, nothing else is running, and i crash.
Every minute
I did perfectly fine in Min and Myconids the other day, but today i cant even play. i will be standing on the docks, or in a store in town and the screen will freeze and the computer will reboot.

Help
