Everytime I try to play I keep crashing, sometimes the game wont even start after the login process it just cuts out. I've got it to play for 10 minutes once but the first time I tried to walk it crashed again. I'm using a Intel Extreme Graphics card if that helps. I went to the drivers page like the game said but there were none listed as Intel so I wasnt sure what to download. All help is appreciated.

1. Intel Extreme is not a true graphics card.
2. Intel graphics are incapable of running SL at anything but the absolute most basic settings, and sometimes not even that.
3. Intel graphics are not supported in SL.

I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading to something real, like a Geforce. Don't go with ATI. ATI and SL don't like each other.

SL is very graphic intense and requires a good card. Go with AGP 64MB ram or more. the Nvidia line is more compatible with SL but Radeon 8000 ish or above should work. If you list your system specs there may be other issues also preventing you from playing that may need to be solved.
