I am also one of the poeple who was expiraincing it for quite a long time. Lets get this threat alive for 30 days I am sure we can find a way.

What doesnt work to try to fix the issue: Reistallig the game, restarting your pc, call Steam Support.

What might work: Updating Java, Updating your Intel core, Buying a new PC, Updating DvX, Steam Update.

What does work: Disabling Steam overlay

I have a few questions tho too: Can someone give me the steps of updating your intel core? I know where but I dont know how. Does disabling Steam overlay effect your achivements on Steam?

Admins, players and Game Master please post all your ideas to fix this issue.

P.S Can someone answer the 2 questions?

Not sure what you mean by

Not sure what you mean by "updating intel core", but I can help you with the overlay. It does seem to disable achievements, as well as prevent you from buying energy with real money, accessing the steam community via shift-tab, and probably a few other things too. Basically, it sucks.

what I mean by "Updating intel core"

Is that even possible? I was under the impression the "version" of your CPU is hardware-based, not software-based (well, sort of). So, I'm guessing it's the drivers? If so, try following this guide (can't account for its credibility, though)... or, you could try the update tools here.

Secondly, what's DvX? I get the feeling you meant DirectX, but DvX is equally close to DivX, as it is to DX (although, I don't see how DivX could help).

In regards to graphics, I'll guess you mean video drivers. If so, you'll need to know what GPU you have, such as AMD (ATi), Nvidia, etc. For AMD, click here. Nvidia, click here.
