I am by no means a computer guru....I have just worked with them for 20 years so had to learn a little bit out of self defence

none of my solutions are guarenteed to fix your problems, They are only things you can try. If updating the drivers doen't help you can alway roll them back

I too hope they don't mess up the steps forward we have acheived today!

Well I made the changes and now I can log in and play...sort of. All the icons on my screen keep disappearing. I can't open my chest or see any info on the screen. It comes and goes. Someone asked me last night if I wanted to sail with them. I could not answer them. I also can't see damage I'm doing in battle. Like I said everything is on the screen then it all goes away. Anybody else having this problem??

I am also having graphics issues that I was not having pre-May18th. Missing icons, strange looking text, etc. The game seems to be stressing the video memory heavily. I reset all options to the lowest settings, took out all reflections and playing in the smallest windowed version (and remembering to re-boot before starting to play) and this seems to help, I can play on land now no problem, but sailing especially if there are other player controlled ships around can make me crash after 10 minutes or so. But I'm not complaining, at least I'm in the game.

Since the May 18 Update a lot of people have been having these graphic issues and severe lagging and crashing

what ever they did on the 18th seems to have been a hugh step backwards! Buildings don't show up till I get right up on them. At times I fall through the graphics and end up with everything above my head. Other times I could fight an enemy for ever and neither of us sustain any damage. The graphic bugs are worse than they have ever been. And until the 18th lag was minimal and not a big issue for me. I would lag on occasion but generally not for very long. After the 18th I started lagging every 5 or 6 steps, sometimes for the freeze lasts a couple of minutes before I can move again. Also I have completed one of the crew member quests (carver) and was almost to the end of a second (offill). Now I have 0 of five crew members and the Ofill quest will not advance or drop. I had already completed the Offill quest on another player before. So now we have more quests that won't complete. And loss of the information when you do complete them.

Since the update last night my lag issue is somewhat milder, I lag about every 5 or 6 steps but at least now they are more like quick little hickups. But I still have most of my graphic issues and my quests are still in a mess.

That being said I am on a high-end, 7 month old, 2.6gb duel core desktop machine and elite broadband service. I could not imagine running this on anything less and envy those with gaming systems.

Last but not least....I still love the game.....and this is beta so problems are expected......really was just letting all of those that have been locked out know what new issues we have been having.
