In short: Installed PE, logged in, created appearance of avatar, chose name, clicked accept and I get a C++ Runtime Error thingie and the client is terminated. Anyone else got this? And more importantly, how do I resolve it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
yea i got the same thing thats why im in here this game is starting to piss me off, like first it took all day to download/install and then it wont let me use the name i want then that stupid run error… like seriosly can some1 help us?
Same here!! 
Not sure if I can really help will try.. keep in mind PE is known for bugs
the first thing I would start off with is make sure you check the PC requirements and driver requirements. That they are all good to go.
Make sure you are running the latest drivers for your PC and direct x.
Then I would try it again and keep in mind that PE CTD’s a lot so you might have to keep trying
if that dont work then guess we would need alot more info on your pc sets ups like:
OS
Hardware
for starters.. also you should speak to custmer service maybe they can help also
I´ve talked to customer support, and they gave me the usual answer… Uninstall and then re-install (Can´t honestly say I´ve tried it yet, but I will get back to you guys if it works). If that doesn´t work however, which I doubt. Here are my comp specs:
OS: Windows 2000 Professional (Fully updated with fixes and SP 4)
CPU: Intel P4 3.2 Ghz
Memory: 1024 DDR2
Graphics: ATI Radeon X700 PCI-E Pro (With PE recommended drivers)
HD: Brand new S-ATA HD w/ 250 Gb space + IDE HD 123.5 Gb space
DirectX: 9.0c
All in all, I am running a fully updated and (to my knowledge) fully functional system. I have even upgraded my BIOS to the latest version. So, I am kind of clueless to what the problem might be…
This game really does work in mysterious ways. A couple of days ago, I kept getting the runtime error. And now there’s (nearly) no problems at all. Sometimes it crashes… Anyway, if you have this problem, rebooting might be the first thing you wanna do and closing down all open applications before you run the PE client.
