Client crashing

1

I am experiencing some glitches, which, among other things, causes the client to crash as soon as I hit any button that opens the chat bar, or talk to an NPC.

The game will run fine for moment, then 20 seconds after launch in windowed mode, or 2 minutes and 45 seconds after launch in fullscreen mode, these things occur:

Login screen: Client crashes after delay

Character selection: Works fine (including animation), selecting a character after delay crashes client

In-game:
- Most text becomes enlarged (Player/NPC names, chat below said names, shouts/info at the top, but not text on items on the ground, nor on text in e.g. character tab, warehouse, or inventory)
- Black background on character, inventory, spell/aura, chat log tabs, warehouse, and dialogue box opened by ctrl + q
- Opening any of the above-mentioned tabs sometimes crashes the game, especially the inventory and spell/aura tabs
- Dragging the client window around causes it to minimise until manually restored (although it is still dragged), and causes several visual glitches, such as sections of minimised folders/programs appearing around the screen, visual duplicate of taskbar at top of screen, and screen turning black for milliseconds at a time


The above happens every time I run the game, and I have timed it many times with pretty consistent results regarding delay before glitches occur.
I still see players moving around and fighting, and I can do the same, but as soon as I talk to an NPC or press any key that opens the chat bar, the game crashes with a "Program has stopped working".

I played the game from January - August this year without trouble. Returned a few days ago, and now after updating the game I run into these problems. Uninstalling (via "Uninstall.exe") and reinstalling did not solve it. I have also tried running the game as Administrator, as well as running it in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) - these settings were applied to "SomaDevLauncher.exe", "SomaDevLauncherUpdate.exe", "SomaFull.exe", and "SomaWindow.exe".

I am on Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1), and am running the game in the default 800x600 resolution. Game version (according to launcher) is currently 98, but this seems to change daily at the moment :)


Any help would be appreciated, and I will gladly provide more info if needed.

If it is the reports I just been looking at then it is most likely to do with having resolution set to something other than 800x600. They are crashes when drawing map tiles or night.

I would like to know what resolution you are using.
