OP - Have you tried a complete uninstall of everything nVidia, rebooted, cancel the automatic install of drivers, followed by a pass of DriverCleaner to clean up the nVidia leftovers, reboot, then a complete clean install of nVidia drivers?  Mr I-don't-want-to-gimp-myself-with-using-a-wire-to-fix-my-problem - perhaps you should be learning how to turn off all the other network traffic going between your machine and your router(like your torrents and such) instead of complaining to Cryptic about it's game. Maybe even make a run of MalwareBytes or Spybot to find all the hidden traffic going on in the shadows. Maybe even trying the proxy connection instead of direct to the shard. But, I know, it's easier to complain and get mad on the interwebz.  Seriously, do some checks on your PC and try to remove other possible reasons for issues being experienced. |

I upgraded video cards back in February: clean wipe of drivers, fresh install of a 1GB PNY EE 460 GTX (previously had a 1.8 GB OEM 260 GTX). It's an odd problem: as the 460 runs other games fine and the problem goes away with my 260 put back in.
That said, my issue may partly be cause by an insufficient psu (wattage was 50w over but I didn't consider amps).

I am a gamer though and I've been configuring my PC's to run games since the double-5.25"-floppy-disk-days of DOS. You might say that I've learned a few things over the years. Oh, and *I* NEVER have problems with any game that I install on my PCs.

Work on a few PC's for friends or acquaintances, make a little manual labor cash, buy new PSU, problem solved, profit in EC?

This doesn't make the problem go away nor does it make you "right." There are enough people with this issue that it can't all boil down to the same hardware issues, at least probably not.
