I think this happens more often in snipe mode when you are maneuvering your ship.

Even on low settings you find this game unplayable? I also doubt that your Xeon E5345's are comparable to the AMD FX-8 series. Instead they are closer to AMD FX 4100+/Intel Core i3 mobile. In general, it was not really an upgrade for video games as you have already noticed. Basically, it is a downgrade for everything else except for web server hosting/virtualization. A higher clocked CPU always performs better in games, unless we are comparing a single core vs a dual core system. A 20% decrease of the CPU clock rate will not decrease the overall performance only by 20%, it can be a lot higher than that. Simply put, WoW may need more raw CPU power than what you are offering even if you have 8 or 100 cores in your system. Fixing this means rewriting the game from the start so that it can support lower end systems. In my opinion, your CPU configuration is your bottleneck, which may not be noticeable in other games/applications that are not so CPU intensive.

What are your computer specs? Have you tried lowering the video quality?

I have ran this game on many different systems and none have displayed what you describe so I would look at your rig and not the game. Did you run the game in windowed mode to test? What do you mean by: "you say you ran 3DMark, but for how long"? How many times should I repeat the tests? I used the performance preset and 3Dmark11 by the way. I tried windowed mode today and experienced the same problem in my third game. The only difference was that the client window became white while still being able to hear in-game sounds and fire/move the ship around. I waited for a while to see what would happen and this error came up. From a quick forum search it seems that other people have encountered the same error. It seems that the error can be found in WoT and WoP. (I haven't played those games.) I have also checked the python log. The last entries were the following: [s] [2015_09_13 15:39:51] ping&FPS: 0.0775334494455 204.933746572 145.933741841 0 [s] [2015_09_13 15:39:51] ping&FPS: 0.0775334494455 204.933746572 204.933746572 0 [E] [2015_09_13 15:39:51] RenderTarget::pSurface - Error getting surface level 0 Crashed!!!

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem and if there is something to fix this. What happens is that the game minimizes from time to time to desktop when you are in battle and you cannot restore it back. You can hear in-game sounds and even move the ship and fire with it but nothing else. The only thing to do is to close the game and restart it. After you close the game you get the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered". My specs: HD7770 Athlon II X4 640, 3Ghz 4GB ram Windows 7 64bit Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 750GB What I have tried: Various video drivers: 15.7, 15.7.1 , 15.8 Beta Memtest Hdd diagnostic tools Running the game in various video modes: low, medium, high Increasing windows 7 TDR delay Clean install of windows 7 64bit 3DMark and FurMark Basically, this is the only game that I have problems with and I am at a loss. This can happen once every 2 hours or multiple times in an hour. I would welcome any ideas on how to proceed except for buying a new pc

Same problem here. There should be an option to repair corrupted files...
