Game crashes/freezes when starting/loading.

[alexinexile]

I just found Regnum online today, seems like it should be really fun. So i downloaded it, installed it, registered. Loaded it up,
logged on to the Offical Server, went to options, clicked "autodetect configuration for best performance and quality". seemed to all be fine, so i clicked Play.
The screen goes black, it starts to load... I wait... and some more... but nothing happens. I cant exit so all i can do is restart the computer/hold down the power button till my computer turns off and then turn it back on...

Heres what comes up on the black screen when it stops. I had to take a digital photo of it and write it up myself to get it here so i hope it helps you to help me... >_<

oh... I had tried to search through the regnum folder before and find a log of somekind, with no luck. Of course now that i've writen all that up myself and posted it, i have one last look and find it almost straight away... so here it is.

Alright, last time i realise i should've probably tried alot more before posting the first time but... well.
I reinstalled and tried again. But when i tried to load regnum this error came up:

ROClientGame.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point ?shutdown_entity_callback@GameCore@@UAEXPAVMessage @@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library ngClients.dll.

clicked "ok" and carried on, a minute later i tried to load it again and it went in fine like the other times. let it load and when straight to "play" same deal with the black screen and it just stopping. here the log, its slightly different, not sure if it makes a different, thought it cant hurt... :

I'm having the same problem and don't know what to do :(

[embryodead]

It looks like the same problem I had. Try disabling sound and music and see if it works. If it does, here's how to get the sound back without crashing: http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=7782
