Freezing Issues with AMD Dual Core Processors on Atlantica Online

Atlantica Online is a 3D MMORPG turn based strategy genre with slick graphics which requires gamers to think a little instead of just mashing buttons. If you are a die-hard fan of the traditional turn-based RPGs like the Final Fantasy (not the MMO version), you will right away immerse yourself in the witty game play and exploring real world sceneries mixed with mythological and fantasy elements.

But there are new problems that arise for some people who use the AMD Dual Core processors. Many efforts were made to overcome this problem, such as by installing the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer 1.1.4, turning Windows Firewall off, System Mechanic's Firewall off, set router to DMZ zone but has not been able to resolve the issue.

This got my attention, especially after some of my friends send me email and ask for this problem. Finally after searching I found the solution to this problem. Apparently this is a common issue. What should be done to overcome this problem is to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package Service Pack 1. The file name is vcredist_x86.exe 2.6 MB size. This file is used to synchronize your computer hardware with software in general gaming, including Atlantica Online. Note that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package Service Pack 1 can be installed simultaneously with other Microsoft Visual C++, 2007 or 2008, so you do not need to remove them.

In addition, Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package Service Pack 1 lunched by Microsoft because a security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package Service Pack 1 and gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft.

Keep in mind those only users with an AMD Dual Core processor who are having freezing issues should try this. All you need to do is to download vcredist_x86.exe (2.6 MB) from Microsoft Official web Site.
