Age of Conan

Ok guys I dl'd the open beta on day 1 I also played the PVP beta weekend and it played flawlessly with no hiccups and a constant 64 fps throughout. Well I know folks are having problems but I got the stalling down to a minimum on day 1 and it was staying at 64 fps until it would stall or lag whatever. Well I dl'd the new patch a few days ago and I just booted it up today. Well I was getting horrible stalling and so bad the game wouldn't respond for a few seconds or whatever I am running this in windowed mode btw. Then the screen would go white just in the game client or black for a few seconds. Well I was playing through the patch client so I exited out and went to the normal one with the debugger window thingy. Well it didn't take long and it did the same thing except it gave me a blue screen of death memory dump.  Well needless to say I didn't turn it back on.

All my components are up to date and running VERY cool as I keep temps in check. But all my stuff runs really cool with my set up anyway. I played other games after the BSOD and everything else ran fine just making sure I wasn't getting any kind of memory issues from it crashing. So now I am not sure if it is my client or are other folks experiencing this? The stalls in game made it unplayable it was still doing this in full screen and I saw someone say go to windowed mode well I did this.

My set up is :

AMD X2 6400+ w/after market fan and heatsink (stays at like 20-30C)

4GB PC2 6400 Ram (Corsair Twin2X4096 XMS2) w/heat spreaders

eVGA 8800 GTS 512MB gfx (was running 2 of these in SLI but from pvp weekend didn't get alot better performance it stayed constant no matter what) (which at the time was 64 fps)

Vista 32 Bit

With this the OB client has been unplayable since this patch and I know I shouldn't be crashing like this I do not crash in any other games I play but this has been ridiculous I know I meet reccommended specs lol.

I think thats everything

tried every tweak posted, even on low with no bloom/hdr. Game runs so inconsistently yet i more than exceed the minimum, and it just got worse after sunday (or maybe saturday's) patch

I just ran it on full screen and put my cores down to 1 and it ran good for awhile then the fps got lower and lower and then the game crashed normally to the note to send Funcom. Ah well I am giving up on it.
