Title: LOADING PROBLEM
Post by: Menthu on October 03, 2005, 03:58:57 pm: Everything i tried now that i read on other threads doesn\'t work. When the game is loading it just says:

Loading game
Requesting world
Loading world

Servers MOTD:....

And it isn\'t loading at all. WTF? :(

Check planeshift Setup (programs->Planeshift->planeshift setup) and ensure load all maps is disabled. You may try to check if sound is off too, as it is a common source of problem for most of the players.
Check if you meet the minimum requirements also:
Minimum Requirements:

* Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP, Mac OS X 10.2.6, Linux, FreeBSD or Solaris
* GeForce 2 or higher 3D graphics card
* 1 Ghz CPU
* 512 MB RAM
* 1 GB free disk space
* 56k modem Internet connection

Recommended Requirements:

* Windows XP, Mac OS X 10.2.6, Linux or FreeBSD
* GeForce 4 or higher 3D graphics card
* 2 Ghz CPU
* 1 GB RAM
* 1 GB free disk space
* Broadband Internet connection

Talking of the problem, instead:
on which OS are you?
Are you using binary or CVS version of the client?

Post by: Menthu on October 03, 2005, 04:45:06 pm: im using windows XP and i think binary but not sure

Post by: AryHann on October 03, 2005, 04:54:40 pm: Can you try to get which is the latest info that your client is showing in the console?

For getting the console right click: start->programs->planeshift crystal blue -> planeshift tech demo and then in \"destination\"
add at the end --console

Post by: Nilrem on October 03, 2005, 05:04:52 pm: Right click the shortcut, select properties, then try what AryHann said, and report again.

Post by: AryHann on October 03, 2005, 05:05:13 pm: Go to start->Programs->Planeshift Crystal Blue.
Right click Planeshift Tech Demo and click on properties.
Then in the destination field add --console at the end of the line.

Run Planeshift Tech Demo
When it freezes, go to the console (it should be a sort of MS-Dos window) and copy and paste on the forum the last things you can read there.

Post by: Menthu on October 03, 2005, 05:12:02 pm: you mean the Target box?

Post by: AryHann on October 03, 2005, 05:31:33 pm: Probably. I don\'t have the english version of Windows.

I am talking of the line that should have this:
\"C:\\Programmi\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\psclient.exe\"
Title:
Post by: Menthu on October 03, 2005, 05:35:48 pm: \"C:\\Programmi\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\psclient.exe\"

\"C:\\Programmi\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\psclient.exe--console\" doesnt work

Post by: Nilrem on October 03, 2005, 06:52:58 pm: I think we could have got the same results if we had told the guy to copy the last lines of the psclient.txt that it\'s automatically generated and that it\'s in his planeshift folder.
If I\'m not mistaken, psclient.txt should give the same info AryHann is wanting, and the \"searching\" process could have been more *cough* \"programmer\" friendly. :D

Sorry but couldn\'t resist the little joke for more time :P

Post by: AryHann on October 03, 2005, 06:57:00 pm: True :)
I like to complicate things in a less programmer friendly environment :D

Post by: Shimus on October 06, 2005, 08:39:05 am: In my experience it\'s because the majority of people saying \"Loading problems\" but it\'s actually they don\'t have updated drivers or OPENGL compatible cards, as I am trying to remedy myself.
Title:
Post by: AryHann on October 06, 2005, 08:44:05 am: It is not always like that. THere are several problems that can happen at loading and they are depending from PS and not from the graphic card. Of course, some are depending from not updated drivers, but that is diagnosed just looking at psclient.txt and finding the line \"No hardware acceleration\", for example.
