Do ANY of you guys even bother helping people?

I have the same exact problem!  Everytime I start it, the MSDOS prompt comes up for a second, thats normal though, then it just closes and never bothers to actually open the client.  I\'m pretty much waiting for Steel Blue though, hopefully it will be much more stable.

Post by: Kiva on February 06, 2005, 08:27:07 pm

And I\'m sure you guys didn\'t bother posting what it says when it crashes, and I\'m sure you didn\'t bother updating either, because it seems to be working just fine here on my system.

By the way, moving this to the CB problems forum.

Post by: Mezasa on February 06, 2005, 08:31:02 pm

And I\'m sure it started happening after I updated!  I updated, and it stopped working.  And it doesn\'t say anything, it just doesn\'t load.  The MSDOS prompt goes away to fast to read.  That is all I can say, that\'s all it does...

Title:
Post by: Mezasa on February 06, 2005, 08:35:42 pm

Oh and BTW, I just tried to run the updater again, it says this application needs to be closed.  Apparently my only solution is to redownload it...

Post by: Snuffkin on February 06, 2005, 10:36:23 pm

Which would result in you getting an old version of the updater and client, which is likely to be more buggy, and updating then would result in you getting the new version of the updater and client, which presumably exhibit the bugs you describe.

Nice, isn\'t it?

(The updater is crashing instantaneously for me also. Don\'t even think about the client.)

Post by: DrunknMonkey on February 07, 2005, 08:44:02 am

Man, this is the exact same error as I get. You were saying something about the msdos thing that comes up, i took a screenshot of it and if we have the same error (which im pretty sure we do) it says


crystalspace.maploader: could not get node1 converter
crystalspace.maploader: could not get node1 crossbuilder

Ive tried reinstalling it and re-downloading it. Nope, sry still doesnt work :(
I also get an error when I run the updater and the setup thing (what is this, i just found it in the start menu PS folder)

Wow. That\'s like, SO much useful information. Boy, why nobody answers you I\'ll never ever know.

Hello all!

It is my first time when I have a prolem that I can`t resolve. I have the same exact problem. Everytime I start it, the MSDOS prompt comes up for a second, then it just closes and never open the psclient.

It started happening after I updated (10-11.02.2005). I updated, and it stopped working. And it doesn\'t say anything, it just doesn\'t load. The MSDOS prompt goes away to fast to read something, bat I can read the error of the PlansShift Updater:


WARNING! Suspicious: object with tag \'iWin32Assistant\' does not imlement interface \'iWin32Assistant\'!


Fatal Error in ghwin32.dll

csGraphics2DOpenGl:: Open(QI) -- system passed does not support iWin32Assistant.

Post by: Snuffkin on February 07, 2005, 03:54:12 pm

Dolphy, have you tried opening a command prompt (Start->Run->CMD on XP/2K or Start->Run->Command on 9x/ME), cd\'ing to the planeshift directory and typing psclient? That should execute the psclient but the DOS window should stay around so you can read it.

Title:
Post by: Dolphy on February 08, 2005, 09:46:57 am

Yes, I have tried oppening the command promt and nothing apear there.

?( If somebody know how to disable Win32Assistant, please tell me !!! ?(

My borther has an amd64 computer. And after the last update he can\'t play either. Must check first if his problem is resolved by now. But I can say that he also had ogl problems and that CS made updater crash. He got spammed by some error popups and then the app just crashed (no option to safe dump)

Title:
Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 08, 2005, 11:22:18 am

For the updater crashing problem go to the properties of your updater icon. Go to the shortcut tab and you\'ll see target somewhere. Type this behind the text that\'s already there: *space*--auto
And you type *space* by hitting your space bar ofcourse :)  Click apply and then OK.

Post by: Dolphy on February 08, 2005, 11:44:13 am

I have made what you told me to do, but I have the same error:

\"E:\\DOLPHY\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue instalat\\updater.exe\" --auto

I don`t have a 64bit procesor! My SO is WinXP with SP2.



Sorry, for my bad enghish

Title:
Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 08, 2005, 12:47:24 pm

Well, 32 bit or 64 bit, hasn\'t anything to do with crashing.

Title:
Post by: zinder on February 08, 2005, 01:22:28 pm

Try to start pssetup.exe and look if the sound otions are viable for your system. If in doubt deactivate sound. Recheck the other options, too.Then try again to start the updater. The updater dies with wrong sound option in graphical mode. Dont know if that applies to you cause yours dies in auto, too.

Title:
Post by: Dolphy on February 08, 2005, 02:33:42 pm

All: pssetup.exe, psclioent.exe, updater.exe don`t work.

I will wait pacient next PlaneShift CB version 3.007 release  \'X(\'

Title: Try this one
Post by: Cha0s on February 08, 2005, 05:11:27 pm

If you happen to have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 or later (obtainable from java.sun.com), you can try this updater (as I\'ve mentioned in the past): Updater.jar (29k) (http://www.world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/PSUpdater/Updater.jar)

There has been an update to the client as of yesterday (07:23), so you can use the linked unofficial (and unrelated to the PS team) updater to fix the broken one. Just remember that if you do use the linked updater I\'m not liable for any negative results (I gotta say that for legal reasons ;) ). The alternative is to wait for an update to download from the main site and DL the whole thing again.

Title:
Post by: Androgos on February 08, 2005, 05:43:10 pm

just look in the psclient.txt or updater.txt or whatever since every single lines in the console is redirected there

Or you could just use the whole --auto option.

That doesn\'t work everyone as demonstrated by the above quote. If it did, I wouldn\'t have wasted the time posting that link. ;)

Hah, the most recent update I got fried updater.exe, but PS still runs. :D

Thanks Cha0s, quite a useful program you got there. :)

To Gronomist and Moogie:

Your posts did absolutely NOTHING to help our situation.  Why did you even post?  All the people helped, but you 2 are the only ones that came off bitchy.  Maybe I\'m the only one who felt your posts were completely pointless, but I don\'t really care.  Sure, you may have more posts than everyone, but maybe you should try to not come off so bitchy when someone has a problem.

I would like to thank everyone else, though, it works now :)

Title:
Post by: Moogie on February 08, 2005, 09:10:25 pm

When you\'ve been helping people for as many years as we have, you too will get tired of people who expect immediate answers when they give absolutely no useful information to go on.

Title:
Post by: Mezasa on February 08, 2005, 09:26:40 pm

Well, I posted what I could, and that\'s it.  I knew nothing else.  Not once did I say to answer me now though.  I understand that you have been doing this for years, but nobody makes you.  Sorry if my post was, not nice, I was just venting from some other things as well.  That just kind of ticked me off...  :rolleyes:

Title:
Post by: Moogie on February 08, 2005, 09:33:39 pm

It\'s okay, my original post wasn\'t in response to you anyway. :) It was to Ghosts|Jestal, who doubleposted to say:

...which is sheer ignorance, and very rude if he expects any help at all.

:( that updates slow!

(java updater)

Title:
Post by: Cha0s on February 09, 2005, 01:35:15 am

Run it from the command line like so:
cd to its directory
type \"java -jar Updater.jar nogui\"

You\'ll only get a few console output messages, but it should run faster.

Title:
Post by: Dolphy on February 11, 2005, 10:53:24 am

10x Cha0s, your unofficial updater works very well, but  this tool did not resolve the problem :(
 If you can have (make) a little program, like this \"unofficial updater\", that run the and deactivate the sound for as will be asome. Maybe will works without sound.

Like you will see in the text display below, the PlaneShift waz run very well before ====== Thu Feb 03 15:55:57 2005, but 4 days later (====== Mon Feb 07 15:40:24 2005) the game refuze to run. In weekend 4,5,6 Feb 2005, CB waz update with a new soft that doesn\'t work for everyone.
 According error of the PlansShift Updater we can blame \'iWin32Assistant\':
\" WARNING! Suspicious: object with tag \'iWin32Assistant\' does not imlement interface \'iWin32Assistant\'!
Fatal Error in ghwin32.dll
csGraphics2DOpenGl:: Open(QI) -- system passed does not support iWin32Assistant. \"
and if someone know how to disable Win32Assistant, please tell me!
 psclient.exe show another error:
\" Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift: Cristal Blue
Exception at address: 00FD90CA, Exception code C0000005 \"

I have a questions: where can I e-mail the diagnostic file?

I would like to thanks everyone, and please forgive my english

Title:
Post by: harcalion on February 11, 2005, 12:28:47 pm

None of the above solutions worked for me, I\'m trying to run CB since its first build, but without luck. No one has worked. Which is a shame, since I was 3 years waiting for the new version (a bit impatient I am). My problem is:

psclient.exe doesn\'t run
updater.exe doesn\'t run
pssetup.exe doesn\'t run

There\'s no diagnostic file (not enough time to create it)
There\'s no console error messages dumping (the same reason as above)
There\'s no single clue of what is failing.

My system specs:
Win XP SP2
512 Mb RAM
P4 2.5 Ghz
4 Gb free on hard disk
nVidia GeForce 3 Ti 200 64 Mb
SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital

I don\'t know what to do. The executables don\'t even work!!! It\'s discouraging...

Thank you

Try this one

http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=14565&boardid=33&styleid=3 (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=14565&boardid=33&styleid=3)

If you cannot get is to work right away you may try to reinstall using the 0.3.006 build  and then try the workaround.

You can download it from here

No luck, I wasn\'t able to start the game nor modify the behaviour, nor getting logs/dumps. I will wait until another build pops up.
