Game crashes on startup.

[Vraal]

Hey,
all over sudden my game is behaving strangely. Everything was fine until today that the game keeps crashing in the "Warhammer" loading screen after starting the game.
There is no error message what so ever. I see the loading screen, then it turns black for a brief second and I'm back on my desktop.
In my taskmanager the War.exe properly appears during the seconds that I see the loading screen.

I've browed several threads and the case that sounds most like mine was this one: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12462

I didn't really get any kind of solution out of it though. It's odd because nothing changed on my computer since yesterday and back then it ran smoothly.
I tried re downloading the files and it still happens to me.

Any Help?

Is the loading screen Altdorf?

type /stuck 2 times while teh screen loads

It happens upon starting the game, not loading an area.
I hit connect in the launcher, the "Warhammer Screen" pops up, then the image gets black for a second and I'm back on my desktop.

No chance to type in anything, I don't even see the character-screen / Server Screen

are you overclocking gpu,cpu or ram?

[Ley]

Check latest updates on your OS

What should I check them for?
I'm no techy person so I'm not overclocking anything. I had to problems before and didn't change anything on my computer so I have no clue what could've caused it.

I tried logging in on another rig and on that computer I get the following error-message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data.myp:

I can normally click on connect but then it won't let me see any characters or servers.
I'm no techy person so please ask any more information I can give.

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind my last posst. I figured it out.

things get broken. power units get unstable, ram might get unstable etc.
