its the variety of hardware/software for about 75% and the other 25% is devs rushing the game.
i have heard of a LOT of hardware configuration problems. i saw a post on the DAOC forums of a tech support issue, in the end his crash consistently after 30 mins of playing and graphical artifacting after 20 was caused by 2 problems. he had a bios setting setup for shadowing and a very high end music sound card would suck up resources the game was trying to use.
not the fault of mythic, but rather the different hardware. he had to get a 2nd lower quality sound card and disable his high end whenever he played DAOC.
