Alright, about how long does it usually take to load anyway?

It can take several minutes ( although I have no solid numbers here ) to load for the first time.  It appears that the next times it is a little quicker to load.   As long as it does not crash outright then just let it run for a while.

Title: same thing

The same things happens to me, but it doesnt freeze. A box pops up saying somthing went wrong and planetshift will have to close, and would i like to submit and error report, all that stuff. It gets to the world initiliazing then does the above. Also, I read the first post on this board, about Windows XP (which I have) but couldnt find what the post was talking about. Help please, the game looks really cool. :)

The game works now, but is quite laggy, and dont see anyone in the game, ive maybe seen 2 people.....

What is there to do in this game so far?

And how do you get out that central area?

Well No body plays it because there is nothing to do If by center area you mean the town, you cant get out of it, May I remind you this is a tech demo, not part of the final game.

So then, there is really no point in playing it for now?

Also, How long untill it gets out of the \"tech\" demo, and we get to do stuff ?   :D

This game looks great, and i cant wait, but i dont want to just wander around very laggly (is that a word) doing nothing for now.... :(
