I have been trying to get this working on my computer for about 1 hour now.
One major problem I am having is logging in. It seems that with that dragon flying around at start-up my 8800GTS can't handle running all 5 at 1680x1050.
I can get my main to log in, load up the level, but all my alts when I log in just have the skill bar but are unable to load the textures.
Is it my graphics card that is making me unable to 5 box like this? If so, how can I upgrade my graphics card so that I can use IS?
I use the "run wow 5" command, and wait patiently for like 4 min for them all to load the intro screen.
Would giving you my processor information/mobo information help?
Processor, Video card, and RAM. Mobo doesn't really matter as far as helping you with this issue. What I will tell you is that an 8800GTS should be fine running at 1680x1050. What you likely need to check is your anti-aliasing level. Open the game, just to the login screen will do, and hit the Options button, then click Video. Next to the Resolution drop-down box is one that says Multisampling. 24-bit color and 24-bit depth is fine, but make sure 1x is selected. Anything over 1x is going to seriously degrade your performance, so I think that's what your issue is based on previously helping people who reported similar issues. Past that, you can try lowering some video options in the Effects page including draw distance (on the 4 "slaves" perhaps -- you can probably get away with the main character having a better view). And finally, the more cores on your CPU the better, if you have 2 or fewer cores that may be the bottleneck and not the video.
