Really if you want to be a little more specific besides a few other errors will see what kind of help we can get ya. Your best bet would be to post your specs and if this is for windows or linux or whatever and I don\'t know how about those few other errors.

It says it can\'t find CEL enviorment vars, which you don\'t need.
The other are CS errors of plugins we don\'t use

So the errors are normal and shouldn\'t affect your gameplay

Run the client with
psclient -verbose -console
and post the output, it will help understanding your problem

Edit: fixed typo

Just for my personal information: why didn\'t you read the FAQ before posting this thread? (there must be some reason, mustn\'t there?)

Here\'s one theory...

People download Planeshift thinking they\'re getting a game. Too lazy to read anything about it, instead just looking at the pretty screenshots, they download it and expect it to be self explainatory.

Those not dumb enough to get stumped by the .part files compiling system actually manage to install the game. Some even get past character creation. But then they realise it doesn\'t work. \"linkdead\"? \"database error\"? Why doesn\'t the game fix it itself? Wtf??//1

By dev-shortsightedness, the error briefly tells these people to seek the forums for help. Thus they arrive in their thousands, leaving threads everywhere, and leave before their eyes even adjust to the colours of the forum.

Sticky threads? Archives? What they? Me go eat stuff and wait for babysitters to answer problem.


(Sorry, I\'m not having a go at you personally, squirrel, just everyone who wastes our time :) )
