Age of Conan: Game Freeze

I’ve been receiving a lot of requests for help from people experiencing problems with the black screen issue in Age of Conan in response to my post on the issue.  But now I’ve also been getting a lot of complaints of people freezing or locking up sometime around the boat scene or …



Age of Conan: Letter from the Director

Gaute Godager over at Funcom wrote a letter to the community today discussing some of the upcoming changes to Age of Conan along with some additions and fixes.  The first bit of good news is that Funcom seems pretty dedicated to making this as smooth of a launch as possible.  There have already been some …

Age of Conan: Crash on Exit

A few patches ago I began getting consistant crashes when exiting AoC asking me to report the error to Funcom. It was annoying but I was pretty much just living with it until I found a fix posted online by Lefty1117 (gotta give props). Basically the problem seems to be caused by right permission on …

Age of Conan: Message from FunCom

My heart just about stopped today when I read my email.  I got my first message from BestBuy stating that they are giving me a coupon for $10 off of my next purchase because my pre-order of Age of Conan Collector’s Edition was delayed leaving the warehouse.  Guess who my next email was from?  FunCom, …

One game I’ve been watching lately has been Stargate Worlds, an MMO based on the popular television series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.  I’ll admit, I’m not to up-to-date on the story line in Atlantis, I’ve maybe seen 2 episodes but SG-1 was a real …

Age of Conan: Authentication Failure

I’ve heard the cries of many gamers who are unable to login and play Age of Conan due to a authentication failure during login. According to FunCom, this is in large part due to not properly registering your key from the retail box to your account if you were an Early Access player, like me. …

Age of Conan: Early Access Woes

AoC is a very polished and bright game. The launch was the best I’ve ever seen in an MMO with smooth gameplay and a fairly small number of major issues. No launch is ever likely to be perfect. That being said, the Early Access was disheartening to say the least. If you are in the …

Age of Conan: Claim Pre-Order Items

I, like a fool, have been trying the ‘/claim’ command in game to try to get my pre-order items.  I ordered the Collector’s Edition from BestBuy and have yet to receive the actual box of the game.  I finally realized today that I won’t be able to use my in-game pre-order items with the claim …

Age of Conan: First Impressions

Well, I spent most of Saturday trying to figure out my graphics problem just so I could get into the game.  After I finally got in late Saturday night, I was able to play a bit but even after the shader fix mention in my previous post, the graphics were still funky.  Shadows under objects …

Age of Conan: Black Screen Problem

Just in case some of you had the same issues as me, here’s the problem and what I did to fix it. Whenever I would click Play on the client menu, the screen would either stutter or just go black. Graphics in the game if I got past the black was just a mountain terrain …
