Rift Forum

I am running Rift on an iMac 3.2Ghz Inter Core i3, v 10.6.6., 4Gb RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5670 card.

The game runs very well for me with the exception of when I access the map by using the M key or access it by pressing the minimap button, the game instantly crashes.

I wanted to see if others may have this problem and if the Devs are aware of it.

It doesn't crash the game when I open map, but it sure freezes up for ages while it loads the map data. Might be similiar issue? I basically avoid using the map unless I am in a safe place, or keep the map open all the time (smaller and shadowed out when not in focus) :)

Mine is an instant crash. Tough to find rifts and quest objectives sometimes.

The game freezes for like 10 seconds and often causes me to disconnect, its really annoying -.-

this actually happens to my friend too, and he uses WindowsXP
i think its an actual problem with the game

I had this problem too. It went away when I switched to the low quality graphics renderer (to solve another issue - crashes when I opened the character pane). You might want to give that a try just to see if it has any effect.

Are you saying you are able to play after the latest patch with Crossover? On a Mac or Linux? How come the rest of us aren't working then?

No, I'm afraid his post came more than a month before the Rift 1.2 patch was released.

Guys, this isn't a Codeweavers issue. I've played on my friend's computer (he uses Windows XP).
He gets the exact same thing. the game doesn't 'crash', it freezes for a good 3-4 seconds then kicks in. its loading the map activity and simulating the Warfront movements, and Rift locations.
Trust me its not a crash, just give it sometime and the game will just continue its normal pace after a few seconds
if the game actually crashes then i cant give any ideas... but as far as i know people on windows get this also. so maybe its actually a game based issue, and not because you're using crossover
