My girl's launcher crashes and gives that generic message, "Could be internet, could be Tera's servers, could be anything"

Is anyone else experiencing issues like this?

We live together and use the same internet and I didn't crash once. Some people in our guild crashed once where they had crashed before in CB but not as much as her. She crashed around 15 times.

I think it's her graphic's cards she thinks its the servers.

Because there are no QQ I"M QUTTING threads i'm going to assume it's diffenetly her computer and not the servers. Do you think it's her graphics cards?

She runs a really decent system but have had issues with it in the past not posting. Maybe she has corrupt RAM or a bad graphics card in her SLI set up or maybe her SLI bridge is gone bad?

Need help :)

I've been experiencing server stutters (Not fps or game freezes) then D/CING maybe after that. Happened thrice yesterday. I think its just the servers bieng selectively stupid if theres even the slightest hint of disconnection.


The wifi card, if anything, could be the blame as I experienced it more & more as my GPU heated & made the laptop much hotter wifi was becoming more n' more edgy

Keyral - post specs

Also - can you get an event log from windows, might help identify the cause.

Have you checked the modem? I upgraded my and my wife's PCs recently to handle games like Tera and to improve the look of WoW on the 64-bit client.

But, as soon as we started cranking up our video settings we got frequent DCs and lag spikes in both games. Finally upgraded to a faster modem and router and haven't had any issues since. It hadn't occurred to me that we were overtaxing our crappy old Surfboard and Cisco router.

Ok .. since you didnt post your specs :)
hook up your monitor as 2nd monoitor to your GF computer, or any other monitor as 2nd, run speedfan. Check if the GFX card or other stuff OVERHEAT..

Once she crashes, does she get weird colors and patterns,
On reboot do she get weird color and patterns, or is everything normal
Whats the temperature on speedfan in idle, and in working temperature with the game open up untill it crash?

For it to be the servers, if you guys play from the same place, and same home etc. and your stable, its not likely to be the servers, but more likely to be a failing hardware component on your side.
it came to my attention that when this game crash (network errors too) it does it nicely, and give weird errors. You sure she dont have a failing router, or a failing route ?

You didnt really give much to go by, but all of the above is stuff i would check.
Ou and last, please do tell me your not useing WIRELESS !

So lets take network errors out of the equasion abit:
Do she in other games, voip application or anything else, randomly disconnect from the internet?
(this would be very obvious in ventrilo)
In your setup, do you use the router for DNS and just set the computers to use the router as a gateway ? (im assuming you have access to your router and have a router)

Yeah our modem and router are actually pretty good. 5G instead of the normal 2.4

Modem I'm not 100% sure about but like i said I wasn't having issues and my system isn't that much better than hers.

Whats wrong with wireless? For me atleast its an additional 3~5 MS of lag & .03 mbps speed difference vs wired @ 5G/2.4G Multicast & Im on the edge of the broadcast range.

Amen to this. Wireless is horrible for playing games on. Packet loss pro's.... pretty much the story on that.
