Yeah, that got me thiknking and was the basis of the fiddles I did before I went out.
:(
I think it's one of the following:
Network (i've updated all drivers, checked cables, rebooted router etc.)
Hard drive (i've updated drivers, defragged, turned off real time scanning in AV etc.)
A creeper in the code has blown up.
I'm going to launch a new world and see what happens.
I don't know if/how you can do that :|
I tried a new map, and I tried it with my old router (so no online access as the new one is router and modem built in) to rule out that too, and it was the same.
I have /no/ idea, so I'm choosing to assume something went wank during the install. I am currently nuking it and reloading Windows (fail)
More RAM, need 64bit Windows to access it.
It was meant to speed things up :(
And yeah - I updated all the drivers and it made no difference.
Can you run MemTest86+ to check that the RAM is ok?
(maybe you got a dodgy stick?)
I wouldn't trust the Microsoft one, but that might just be unfounded paranoia.
Can you sacrifice two of your best sheep to Minerva?
