Q:

This issue is really starting to irritate me. I am currently reinstalling the client after deleting the game a few days ago to make some space on my HDD. The client will download a random number of files and then a BSOD will shut down the pc claiming atikmpag.sys is the culprit. This happened a few weeks ago as well since i was installing the game after returning from a hiatus. Despite it being a pain i eventually managed to download the whole game the first time and DID NOT encounter any bsods while i was playing it.

The things I’ve tried:

- deleting old and installing new graphics drivers
- running the launcher as an administrator
- running it in repair mode

I will stress again that this issue happens EXCLUSIVELY when the client is running for a time. I can play games such as Dark Souls 2 or Divinity Original sin for prolonged periods of time without any problems or errors.

Alternatively to fixing the client, is there any other (legal) method of obtaining the game files?

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
