Sometimes you can turn off quest indicators in the dropdown where you change instances, this can fix it.

Otherwise you can try zoning, changing instances or quitting and reloading.

Meh, for some it's simple a matter in going into your Interface option and toggle off and on the quest tracker.

For me, it doesn't work though. I tried all tricks and tips people could think on these forums, but no luck. I suffer a lot from the memory leaks though, and I noticed that when my map becomes gray, sually, I crash due to the leak not very long after. Might be related

I find it a precurser to an out of memory error - restart.

You might be on to something there. I do get the grey map and then a little later got the out of memory error, but never put 2 and 2 together.

Same things as described just QTD'd with a memory error after having grey map for about 30 mins.

That's exactly what happens to me before an OOM error CTD. Every time without fail.

What's curious, is I can force it to happen by switching characters a few times; and then it's persistent. If I log on with one, and stay on; it's rock solid-no gray map. It's like it doesn't unload that memory when swapping to a new character.

I always restart when I get a grey map because it's a sure symptom of impending crash from a memory leak and I prefer to restart than have it blow up in the middle of a battle. I also get hung up on zone loading screens regularly.

If I play for four hours I generally have to restart about 5-10 times depending on how often I change zones that session. If I'm traveling a lot, I may restart even more than that. It's getting extremely old and VERY disruptive to gameplay.

well seems we'r all in the same boat, so how about we all share other glitches that happens before a leak crash?

Like for me, often textures will have trouble loading up correctly, and instead of seeing the high res ones, I'll be stuck looking at low res textures in some places, like a low res rock here, my armor there, while other parts of the world remains high res, even the close objects.

Also, I seem to have trouble with NPC dialogs, and often, when very close to a OOM crash, I cannot see any NPC dialog at al. the choices are still there though and if I press the 1-2-3 keys, or click where the text should be, I can make the dialog move forward anyway.

Here's the laundry list of what precedes my memory list crashes. Feel free to add input if you see the exact same thing.

- Map goes grey.
- Textures become inconsistent. Some will be detailed, but there will be areas with low-res textures or even NO TEXTURES applied (as in a white/grey checker pattern, a naked untextured object).
- Zone loading screens do not show the background image (like the image of Conan or the image of a castle or hills or whatever) but a plain black screen.
- Zone loading starts taking a LONG time to initiate. Often results in a complete game lockup right here.
- Skills and inventory items fail to display their avatars. Appear to be missing from hotbar or inventory yet are often still clickable. Sometimes not clickable though.
- Increase in invisible mobs (ones that become visible about 2 ft from your nose).
- Noteworthy lag spikes and FPS drops. Often spike down to 1-2 FPS for several seconds, return to 20 FPS, and hit 2 FPS again before a crash.

Interestingly I have the most problems in Aquilonia. Tarantia and Wild Lands seem to cause major problems more often than Cimmerian zones though it's happened in Cimmeria too, so it's maybe just coincidence. Also of note, I cannot weaponsmith in Poitain. Or rather, I cannot weaponsmith with items bought in Poitain. However if I buy say a simple short handle in Lacheish I can craft just fine with it but not with ones from Poitain. Also found problems changing instances in Poitain. But those are separate bugs from the memory leak.

EDIT: I almost forgot. Often the game will crash and then when I restart it mysteriously it says it's updating, downloads like a 10 MB update, and runs fine for a while after that. WTF is this?
