Title: Font/Texture/etc. distortion/errors look here before posting!
Post by: Xordan on December 25, 2004, 01:31:14 am

This might be solved in most cases by a driver update. Please attempt this before posting a thread with your problem.

Thanks.

Could you specify what a driver update entails pls? Sorry I dont know that much about computers.

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 25, 2004, 02:03:55 am

Find out what graphics card you have and download the latest version. The most common are ATI or nVidia cards. you can find new versions of each driver on the companies websites.

Title:
Post by: Couatl on December 25, 2004, 02:06:08 am

Each component of a computer requires some kind of program that lets the computer know what exactly to do with it. That is what a driver is.

Second... well; what Xordan said. :)

Can the game work on this graphic card?::


      S3 Prosaver DDR graphix card (32.0 MB)

Title:
Post by: Couatl on December 25, 2004, 06:33:25 am

32 MB is pretty low.. it might run but I am not quite sure. At the least, it will probably be very slow..

Title:
Post by: Adiron on December 25, 2004, 06:59:08 pm

Actually, i\'ve found that CB can run on extremely low-power graphics cards. I was recently visiting some family and used their computer: a Pentium III 800MHz Gateway with -get this- 5.5MB display memory. It ran at about a constant 4.5 fps, even in the small less crowded areas, occassionally dipping to .2 or .3 fps. Oh yeah, don\'t forget the text/texture/player model distortions. It\'s playable if you don\'t mind ripping chunks of your hair out every three minutes.  :D

Post by: nevlothiel on December 25, 2004, 09:33:59 pm

I played mb for like a year or more with the same graphics card i have now just fine. *wants to get on cb sooo bad*

5 MB?! I would be dead by the time I moved a leg by a millimeter. :D

Post by: Enter_the_Xero on December 26, 2004, 03:56:33 am

Well, Xordan... I do have the latest drivers... 66.93, I think...

Fullscreen mode makes the game go black(Dark screen and nothing else)...

Sometimes there is the effect, which looks like playing an old 2.5D game (Doom//Blood//Duke Nukem 3D) and using the no-clip mode through the walls... Happens sometimes when I start the game, in some spots... potion textures...

Got me... GeForce FX 5200 with 256 RAM...

I may* post a screen shot...

PS,

5 MB? They make em\' with five MB? 4,8,16,32,64,128, or 256, but 5?

Some cards are upgradable, I had old ATI Rage 3D/2X and you could put 1meg chips on it...:P

I checked to make sure my graphics card is updated and direct x too, both are or seems to be.
the setup and menu is still distorted... and text is completely unseen.
is there a way to fix this with a patch or is there another menu (i dont know.. \"text\" version menu\" for those who cant see the menu? im assuming the problem only appears here and not ingame as well.

Title:
Post by: Whisp on December 26, 2004, 08:44:18 pm

I\'m having the same problem I think as nameless..cant even read the updater to run it or the setup. I also have the prosavage graphics in my comp anyone have any ideas?

Title:
Post by: nameless53 on December 26, 2004, 09:04:52 pm

i fear we cant play the game because our card is too \"cheap\"/crapy...
 the only other game that had a similar problem but it was ingame, was fixed by the updated version... but then again, thats the one i have now which doesnt work.

im really hoping i didnt download 200mb for nothing.

Title:
Post by: Huh? on December 26, 2004, 11:59:27 pm

i get graphical problems up the butt
heck i am sitting here playing anarchy online because i can\'t log into planeshift text layout is messed up

Title:
Post by: beachbum0369 on December 27, 2004, 12:36:46 am

i also have the prosava graphic card and i get text but unreadable text also looks like white boxes with lines threw it i tried downloading other texts to see if it works including a vera text. i have updated my card and still have the same problem.prosavage is not a cheap card so i dont think that is the problem.any help would be greatly appreciated. thak you

Title:
Post by: nameless53 on December 27, 2004, 01:25:47 am

\"white boxes with lines threw it\"

and i thought those were text boxes... their accually the text.

ive tried to try different color settings (since some allows some images to be \"not distorted\" like animation files) but none of them cured that problem.

Title:
Post by: beachbum0369 on December 27, 2004, 01:53:21 am

i have taken a screen shot so that it may help the developers to understand this glitch hopefully it helps

YES! that is exactly what mine looks like too!!!

mine is a bit different as in my previous screenshot:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/Iamthom/pstitle.jpg)

i can see all the writing except there is the white cutout still left......somewhat better than yours but still an inconvenience

Title:
Post by: nameless53 on December 28, 2004, 12:33:09 am

atleast you have text in yours, hopefully those are enough to get you around.

so far is there not even an acknowledgement that this is noticed (and will atempt to take a wack at fixing?)?

Post by: dingobloo on December 28, 2004, 04:34:45 am

From the CrystalSpace CVS repository 28/12/2004:

res2002 * CS/ (4 files in 3 dirs):
res made some changes to GL text drawing, hopefully improving  compatibility.

res2002 * CS/docs/history.txt:
 res made some changes to Win32 custom cursor handling, hopefully improving compatibility.

If you\'re compiling from source these updates should help with those problems.

im am not understanding how to \"help with those problems\".. can you explain what is it you just listed?

for some reason my text is working better. i can accually see words.more then teh other sn shot by iamthom hopefully it keeps getting better .

Title:
Post by: Namffoc on December 29, 2004, 12:09:42 am

When I go to login to the game, I cannot see a thing. The only thing I can see are the spaces to put in your username//password. I can\'t see the OK button or w/e it is to continue, nor the Quit button. Then when I get past there, I can\'t see my character. So basically I\'m just seeing the background. If someone could tell me how to post pics. I\'ll show you what I mean!

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

i just read your post and checked... i had the exact same result!!!

whats going on? autoupdated itself?
maybe the computer doesnt know how to read it yet or something.. and needs time?

Title:
Post by: Namffoc on December 29, 2004, 06:18:55 am

How is it getting better? Has it been just sitting on your computer on the game, or just not opened, and overtime..getting better?

Title:
Post by: nevlothiel on December 29, 2004, 07:28:42 am

I checked and mines not any better. I cant log in or run the updater with it like this. Theres no text at all just boxes.

Title:
Post by: Huh? on December 29, 2004, 11:00:33 am

same problem sigh

Title:
Post by: nameless53 on December 29, 2004, 04:45:12 pm

i know its strange, but i was able to see the text, like in the screenshot on this second page by that person.

but its still not right... because it went back to being the boxes again..

Title:
Post by: Namffoc on December 29, 2004, 05:42:04 pm

it would be nice if someone could tell us what was wrong. and fix it!

Title:
Post by: kaptainkranium on December 29, 2004, 09:34:24 pm

I too am having this problem. I dont have any weird white boxes, but only 15% of the letters are showing up, and i have to guess which buttons do what. I think i clicked update once, because the top bar started filling up with numbers, but then it stopped after it got full, nothing changed, and i didnt know what to do. Is there anyone on these forums that is directly hooked up with the development of the game that could tell us what to do?

Title:
Post by: josephoenix on December 29, 2004, 10:34:07 pm

This problem is probably with crystalspace, the 3D engine PlaneShift uses, and the direct contact with the crystalspace team that we have is Jorrit, also the leader of the crystalspace project. Some fixes have been comitted lately regarding fonts and text display, so perhaps that has een included in the latest update. I have noticed that this problem occurs only on my sister\'s laptop, which, incidentally has an ATi IGP bridge instead of the usual agp... Perhaps the poor opensource support of that type of thing has something to do with this? Well, I\'m no programmer, but you can talk with Jorrit about it in IRC if you want to... irc.freenode.net channel #planeshift , or, if you have mirc installed this link may work for you: http://irc://irc.freenode.net/planeshift.

We all hope that something will be done to resolve this soon, but it looks to me like this is something that will need to be fixed in Crystal Space, the underlying 3d engine, not PlaneShift itself.

Post by: nameless53 on December 30, 2004, 12:39:46 am

if it is in the update, then someone who doesnt have a problem like us should post a screenshot of what the update screen looks like so we can navigate without guessing whats what.

i sure havent, i dont even know what IRC is.
Man, this is really frustrating. Everyone ive seen on these forums are all really cool and helpful, and the game looks AWESOME, and im even doing some 3d work that may or may not (most likely that latter of the two) go into the game, and i STILL havent played a single second of it.

It was working before i got the update, then it just died... I also tried restarting my computer.

A workaround is to use the old glwin32.dll...

Post by: Gorion on January 02, 2005, 05:40:25 pm

I had the same problem, but i don\'t see any text, the rest is just perfect, if someone could give the old glwin32.dll ..

anyway i hope there will be a fix son, cause if people are downloading this game, and they can\'t play it, they might give up..

Title:

Pandemic..Thanks for the screen shot of what yours looks like, because I finally found someone that looks like mine does. It is so aggrivating!

Now for you people that are trying to update, is the update only for people that played this game before the CB version? Because I didn\'t play before this and I don\'t get the option of updating sooo..

So are you saying that now, if I run it again, without re-downloading PS and/or CS, it\'ll work properly?  Please elaborate for us not-quite-as-computer-gifted people.  Not to say that I\'m not gifted.  :-P

You have two options: 1. Wait until the fix gets in the updater. 2. Compile everything yourselves using CVS.

Hi all,

Well the  glwin32.dll copy solution worked for me :)

Had to deinstall and reinstall PS then copy glwin32.dll to desktop, start updater (it then starts downloading the new updater) copy glwin32.dll to PS dir, restart updater, copy glwin32.dll to PS dir again, and then it worked.

I use the binary client for Windows, on a Windows XP with Radeon 9600 (256MB ram), while the pc has 512 mb ram.

I solved the problems on the character creation/login menu, but when in game I get black boxes around the names of the character.

Notice that I have run the updater and that I am using the old version of the glwin32.dll file.

I\'m experiencing some funny looking bug. It is, sometimes models of other characters are growing chaotically in random directions, sometimes to be as big as whole plaaza =D
points at the Ynwwn
(http://republika.pl/psgrafika/bugs/modelbug.jpg)

And also here, areas where player names are, are a bit messed up. They sometimes are, sometimes not. This usually appear when i load new zone or stay in one place for a longer time, after I walk around a bit this bug slowly disappear, i gues players with bugged name have to move a bit too.

I got the \"extension\" bug as well. When I spawned I saw a enkidukai\'s arm longer than the statue in the main square, and when I was walking some other strange phenomena, similar to the screenshot above sorrounded me.

If it can be useful: Windows XP, last update of the Psclient, Radeon 9600 pro with latest driver 256MB ram, 512 MB ram for the computer, broadband connection 8mbit.

I downloaded the client
I downloaded that patch thing

On the first screen their is no text but weird black lines that make squares. I don\'t know how to put the screen shot here so I hope you understand.

Title:
Post by: Seytra on January 26, 2005, 08:40:58 pm

The expansion bug happens to me, too. I blame it on the adaptive distance settings, as it appeared when I enabled it and went away when I disabled it.

Furthermore, the updater has e new cool feature: ignore readonly files. This will be interesting for all ATI users, as they can now simply set the readonly attribute for the glwin32.dll once they have replaced it, and never will need to copy it again. The same can obviously be used for custom skins and screens (I use it for my loading screen).

Title:
Post by: Myiu on January 27, 2005, 11:01:25 pm

I have the silly bug on the names too .. believed it was some sort of work in progress thus ..
also my character seem to explode into a silly mess when i go from first view to the next external view ..
\"model\" come from every point of the screen and reassemble in a \"morphing\" like way until it is ok again .. never saw that before, it\'s funny ^^

theres no way to fix it right now... it has to do with your graphic card.

I had white boxes on the text.
I updated.
I have no text anymore yet if i run in fullscreen.
I can\'t restart the updater (windows error, this program will close...).

I tried to reinstall.
I copied the dll.
I updated.
I recopied the dll.
I can\'t run the game anymore.
I can\'t run the updater anymore.
--> The windows appear and disapear instantly

The text in the setup (and in the game when I have a little bit) is black (it is white on my friend\'s mac).

Is there someone with the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks

sh psclient. But when I got to the screen, where I have to subscribe email and password, the game is VERY slow, I\'have got Athlon 2000XP, 256 Ram and Geforce 4 MX440, is this configuration enough or i can\'t play ps? Please what should I do.. THX Fida

i cant seem to get the game working at all when i run the updater. after i run the updater it says trying to run new updater and then it stops responding, then when i try to run the game it asks to save the new files and i click yes but the whole thing crashes every time i try to run it. can anyone tell me how to fix this please.

Seems I\'m not the only one with the text problem.  Is there some way to get it to display white colored text instead of black?  I can\'t read it as is...

Guess I should be happy though...atleast updating my driver worked so that I can tell there IS text there.

Edit: Oookayyyy.  I finally manage to get it to fullscreen at 800x600 resolution and the text doesn\'t display at all.  No blocks, no nothing.   As long as the game is in a window though I have the black text problem.

For any dump errors, check http://command.no-ip.com/dmp, but as you would see ther, it has already been reported:
\"7C00724A - Sound issue, disable sound.\"

This means go into th PSSetup program, and either disable sound completely, or try direct sound. If you can get ingame, you could try turning off background music, that seems to be what causes it.

Post by: Eolius on August 06, 2005, 09:38:27 am

I can sugest a workarround that worked for me:
1: i changed the desktop colour depht so i can create my character (16 bits)
2: I entered the game and at first it seemed that there were only the labels related bugs that afecterd me.
When i tryed to move, especialy when switching subregions (like the sewer entrance) i got 0.3-0.5 fps so the game was not playeble.
3: After trying for 2 hours different solutions i thought that switching to 32 bits might be crazy enough to work.
It is crazy and it works although that you have no buttons and no tabs in the chat channels.
4: I have a nvidia graphic card and i heared just now that the game works with the previous release of the drivers meanning 71.89.
I hope this helps  :)

Hello
Well, I have installed Planeshift on my notebook...

CPU: 1,8GHz

Graphic Adapter: S3 ProSavage DDR 32MB

I have installed the newest graphic drivers and PS looks like this....

Has anyone a suggestion what I should do???

Post by: Rotzboouf on August 19, 2005, 03:24:27 am

Hi,
After reading tons of posts, I have tried to turn off the Hardware Acceleration of my Graphic Adapter; and the Setup & updater looked fine after this. But the Game worked not with this option. So I have turned on the Hardware Acceleration again and tried with another glwin32.dll; but with this, the Game crashed.

Now i?m pretty sure it has somethig to do with this glwin32.dll. I would be very happy if someone has a solution for this problem. (Some configs to do or an update of the game)


I really like this game an the idea behind; the devs are making a good job.

Ok I read all the post and I find nothing that could help me.

I Can\'t see any character during the game + I\'ve got the \"doom clip mode bug\" the only thing I see clearly are the weapons ... if anyone have a solution..

Maybe it\'s the configuration .... I don\'t know

 *AMD Duron 1.00 Ghz
 *256 Mb Ram
 *Nvidia Geforce2 (64mb)

Try a lot of different options in the setup panel but with no success

Ps: I can\'t either see the character during his creation


AND YES I\'VE GOT THE LAST DRIVERS FOR MY VIDEO CARD..

I\'ve turn off my Harware acceleration, and now I\'m able to see charater in the creation board, but the game fail to launch.

I\'m know pretty sure that the game will not work because of my video card. So I give up ... I\'will try again on day when I\'ll change my hardware stuff..

There was an issue like this, true.
Just let the updater do its job.

Is this a graphic bug, or were you testing a texture map overlay (e.g. to support \"blood trails\" or \"mining areas\")?
