PS: all other applications making use of sound works.

After ending up with the first error:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 731: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!

I came across another topic about the error. Following the advice of murdering the PS libvorbis library, I managed to get further in starting PS. But only to a black window.

Clicking on the X button of window (only title bar, no mouse pointer, area is completely black in colour), I get the additional:

What is happening?

Windows XP Profesional
1 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 4
Intel motherboard and P4 CPU

After character has been created. Every time the world (tutorial world) has just finished loading the PC immediately reboots (black screen then BIOS begins loading) and BIOS gives CPU temperature warning. Require F4 to be pressed to resume. I also monitored the CPU temperature and it is staying cool all the time. Even with the Task Manager running when running the PS client, the CPU does not even get to 50% usage until system shutdown upon world finished loading. Shting down windows normally does not result in any CPU warnings.

Well as I was on my way to Ojaveda in search of a tavern when I came across some quicksand, though seems to be selective on who sinks into it. A human ran ahead of me with no problem, followed by a another Klyros when the Klyros disappeared into the ground. Not having had any problems earlier I dared the area where the Klyros disappeared but did not seem to sink.

Well the quicksand can be found after the T-intersection in the forest to the left (right to Mage house and mining area) to Ojaveda. The path in the forest makes a right turn, before existing into high walled rock outcrop. At this point the quicksand is located.

So be carefull at when existing the forest to Ojaveda.

These bugs are most noticible when walking around the Tavern near the upper sewers entrance.

I not sure if the occupying volume is a bit too big for the Klyros. Walking through doorways, is a very precise action, need to approach the doorway perfectly to be able to walk through.

To walk down the stair of the Tavern on the ouside one needs to hop onto the rail to walk down the stairs. Inside the Tavern as one walks down to the ground level from the 1st floor does allow the Klyros to pass through, yet allows the Klyros to walk up the stairs. Need to use /spawn to get out of building from 1st floor.

By the dungeon entrance, the Klyros feet must just be off the edge of the ledge to be able to walk around the building to get to the entrance of the dungeon. There is also a world crack about the width of the Klyros foot at the edge of the ledge.

Some open doors, the Klyros can\'t walk through, think the door is slightly closed to allow the Klyros to walk through. One such open door is in the Tavern.

At the moment I just exploring the world, until the world wipe takes place, before I start developing my Klyros character.

Could a list of libraries and their version numbers be provided, especially the version numbers of the libraries used by the developers.

Where outside Europe and US does the PS forum board server exist? Very often I battle to connect to PS forums, continous retries on average of 15 mins before the web page loads.

Generally has little hassle to view PS main website pages, just the forums.

In Yliakum, near the entrance to the dungeons.
Between the pavement ramp and wooden fence.

Hole seems to be against the ramp itself.
Can actually see the hole, as a light blue line during the day time.
