I just installed the game and I cannot connect to an existing running game and if I try to host a game the game crashes alltogether. i do have a DSL modem connection and everything else works so what can be happening?

I am having a similar problem. The game starts fine, but when I try to join a server, (local or otherwise) the game crashes and I get this error:

Hi,

a bit hard to tell, the log does not give that much information, there seems to be a problem with the video card driver. Could you please try to set all the video options to the lowest level and update your video driver to the latest version. (altough intel onboard cards do not work that well with ZB and they are also not supported that well driver-wise). hope this helps

kind regards,
Michael
