Could it be a port problem?

Interesting question, if you're behind a restrictive firewall (as I am at work, which is probably beneficial to my continued employment [You must be logged in to view images.

Or does world connect to those and serve them up through another port? I'll run a netstat tonight to see what ports are being used to run the game, but that won't cause the black screen of death, it would only crash when zoning... fix your screen resolution and see what happens!

Now where have we heard about "crashing when zoning..." Hmmmm [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
