This is as simple as the title says.

I can start the "login" screen, press "play local", then "new game"
and this is a crash.
Reproduced, each and every time.

You'll find in attached file the error log files.

This sentence has attracted my attention :

# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.

I am under the impression that you can play the game fine when connected to the server?  But crashes if you don't login?  That's a puzzler, I've never seen that one before, but I've never seen such souped up machine running this game either, maybe running without network is creating a timing issue (machine to fast, network forces the game to slow down, code executing out of order?)  Seems far fetched, but who knows....

...idea - run task manager after you start mule, but before you click play local - go to the Processes TAB.

Set the Affinity on Mule to use only one CPU core.  perhaps it doesn't know how to react to all those cores taking code at the same time?

Oh, this is not the same computer you have successfully played on....

Well, in that case, try updating video drivers, looks like a potential issue there.

Intel has a good app for autoupdating drivers for cards based on their chipsets on their website (although I have seen it have issues under IE V9, but give it a shot, if it won't run, manual downloading is still an option) and if any errors installing the new driver pop up (IE. This computer has a custom driver) just uninstall the video driver before attempting to install the new one.  I've had this with my Sony VAIO and my ex's Gateway, the factory drivers were "Custom" which didn't really mean anything, just that there was a manufactures version tag that wouldn't let intel generic drivers install although they work perfectly after successful installation, removed the factory driver, everything is fine.

Thanks for answer.

I updated the video driver to latest version, and it solved the issue.

Best Regards
