Possible CTD / Alttab crast avoidance

Open up UserSettings.xml with notepad located at :

\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\user

Then hit CTRL+F for the find tool and search for specular="true"

Change both the true entries to false so it looks like this specular="false"

This effectively turns off Specular Lighting, which is rumored to be a potential mem-leak causing issue in some ways. I havent locked up alttabbing at all since I did it :)

Did it on my bros copy too - hopefully he can survive in Altdorf with this change.

changed will give it a go when i get on, great find if it works.

always said it was a memory leak issue as the amount of RAM consumed is phenomenal.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)
