If you read back a ways you will see that I did do a freshly downloaded re-install. While I did not install it to a different location, it was installed to a new C:\Program Files\Ryzom\ directory. (i.e. I moved the old directory to a different location before reinstalling.) Would it really make a difference if it's one layer up?
If the problem is in my files that define my setup and my map (especially my MAP), then I'll live with it. I'm not re-marking all those deposits. :( When I did the reinstall I did not over-write the config or data files, but I did restore my old save files.
I doubt that it's the anti-virus, since the problem has extended over two anti-virus programs and appeared when McAfee was my continuous AV program. I am reluctant to disable the AV for any length of time (for obvious reasons).
Question for you to pass back to the devs: Did the major upgrade change any of the ports that need to be kept open?
Thanks for the info on the cache folder. I do have a lot of screenies in my Ryzom directory. Could those be having any effect?
