Post by: Karyuu on January 28, 2006, 12:11:14 am: You read the stickies carefully ;) Particularly about firewalls and routers.

*edited to add* If you\'re already willing to give up for lack of patience, PlaneShift may not be for you... This is a game in very early alpha development that is full of bugs, glitches, and crashes. It will require patience like nothing else.

But it\'s worth it, if you just hang in there a little longer.

Post by: DaveG on January 28, 2006, 12:30:55 am: The main sticky I was referring to is the one entitled Post bugs, Mac, or Linux issues in their forums (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=21502&boardid=17). Just reading it\'s title should be enough. If you have a mac issue, please read/post in the mac forum.

Post by: ugotskoold on January 28, 2006, 12:42:57 am: Well, i can\'t find anything about how to fix my problem, in the stickies, so right now im trying just to redownload it............though it will take 45minutes:(:(:(
Title:
Post by: DaveG on January 28, 2006, 01:46:41 am: tap, tap, tap... Is this thing on?

Read the mac forum.

Post by: ugotskoold on January 28, 2006, 03:01:34 am: thx guys it all worked, u were a big help!
Title:
Post by: AryHann on January 28, 2006, 10:14:34 am: Please, before writing about some issue try to see if the problem has been already solved or it is a common question.

Stickies threads, important threads, the search button all help for doing this.

Also, try to post the messages in the proper forum.
So, if you case is a MacOs x issue, please, report your problem there (or search for help first there).

And yes I have read the stickys and searched for other topics about my issue so don\'t yell at me for not

Thiers only one server up but still no one can get in

So it might not have to do with your router

Post by: AryHann on January 29, 2006, 11:32:21 pm: Right now the server is down.
You have to wait until it is up again for fixing your routers :)

Post by: Mindari on January 29, 2006, 11:32:32 pm: something is wrong with the server, it is nothing to do with your own computer
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 29, 2006, 11:47:40 pm: Try to use Google to find a guide on port configuration - you can also try the linksys website.

Lucky you. Once I accidentally deleted my whole planeshoft folder with the installer so I had to re downloa dit and it took me 45 hrs.

Post by: Karyuu on January 30, 2006, 12:36:02 am: Yes, there is only one server available.
Title:
Post by: preistonline on January 30, 2006, 12:45:27 am: thnx again and is thier a fixed time when it will start running again
and thnx again lol
Title:
Post by: Bakuun on January 30, 2006, 12:54:55 am: No estimated time that anyone knows of - it\'ll be back up when it\'ll be back up. Hopefully it won\'t take more than a few hours.

edit: Yes, Fragnetics is the correct server.
Title:
Post by: preistonline on January 30, 2006, 12:57:37 am: ok thnx

my server is called fragnetics is that the right one?
Title:
Post by: corekazuki on January 30, 2006, 01:21:33 am: Oh thats good (I just got back from fixing a crisis with my new graphics card). I guess I can check every now and then to see when its back up. Now I would just like to ask how you update.
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 30, 2006, 01:49:12 am: If you\'re running Windows, it\'s as simple as going to: Start ? Programs ? PlaneShift Crystal Blue ? PlaneShift Updater :)
Title:
Post by: corekazuki on January 30, 2006, 02:20:11 am: Thanks, now I just have one more problem now that the server is back up. When I tryied to load the game an error occured.....I saved a screen pic if needed.

EDIT: Here is the link to the screen pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/Kasuki/error.jpg

Post by: Karyuu on January 30, 2006, 02:39:37 am: Try this:

Standard troubleshooting:

1. Run the updater [ done ]
2. Update your graphics card\'s drivers
3. Disable sound
4. Turn on/off the vertex buffer
5. Try switching to windowed/fullscreen mode
6. Try changing skins

Post by: Dspradau on January 31, 2006, 02:45:05 am: Read the top of the page!!

Laanx Server down, populating database with new information.
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 31, 2006, 02:45:42 am: It\'s due to - dun dun DUN - bugs! :) This isn\'t a perfect stable game, we\'re still at 0.3 here. Crashes will happen, and unfortunately they happen often - but at least they\'re being constantly looked into, like right now: \"Laanx Server down, populating database with new information.\" Quests will be fixed after this :)

If you\'re going to play PlaneShift, you\'re going to need a lot of patience. Hang in there!

Post by: Phyrfly on January 31, 2006, 02:48:27 am: OK thanks, sorry i was an inconveinience. it was just bugging me.
Title:
Post by: Dspradau on January 31, 2006, 02:48:36 am: Yey!!! Anyways i was watching the stats and then it said there was 0 players so i thought hey their done...nope :)

Post by: acraig on January 31, 2006, 03:00:51 am: If the server is down for any extended period of time we will try to make sure that the Red banner is on top of the forums. Normally in this case the server is down on purpose and will only be up when the banner is removed.

Post by: Dspradau on January 31, 2006, 03:12:55 am: Ok thanks for the info!
