Post by: backeroo on July 09, 2006, 04:11:44 pm: I'm curious if it's the same Problem that keeps me from playing. Could you start Konsole prior to launch psclient and watch oout for Messages.
Should start with :

Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
...

and post the Messages here, please ( if it's the same Problem, there should be only a few lines until the client crashes.)

regards

I bet it's my comp...OS 10.2.8 900mHz G3

Post by: backeroo on July 10, 2006, 07:04:23 pm: @Loto,

yes i guess it's your system, or at least your OS Version. Unfortunately, 10.2 could no longer be supported. ( Or at least until someone who has access to an 10.2.8 System may build a client for this Version),

regards

Post by: The Most on July 21, 2006, 08:05:52 pm: I have the same problem where psclient unexpectedly quits before it even opens and my mac is fairly new with OSX10.4.7

So your old computer is not the problem. Does anyone know how to open the psclient when it quits before it opens?????[/b] I have searched the forums for about 2 hours before I decided to make a post!!!!

Post by: counterguy on July 22, 2006, 02:44:58 am: look...

one thing is after downloading the game U MUST USE THE UPDATER... you have to wait another what 20-60 mins SO WHAT!!! the game might work then trust me i had the prob of the server always failling on me when i ran the updater and tried again it worked perfectly
Title: Re: Cant even open
Post by: The Most on July 22, 2006, 03:42:55 am: mr. wandering uhh guy :D, Yes I did check that one but it doesn't refer to the problem of the applications quiting. thanks though.

other guy above this post that has an apple, the problem wasnt with the server crashing because the application psclient, the update thing, or the other application in that folder didnt even open before it quit. It will bounce on the dock 4 times and a window will come up saying that it unexpectedly quit and asks if you want to file a report to apple. But will updating it really make me able to open the application?? It sounds fishy to me... Either was I've been running the update.jar thing and it's almost halfway done. So I'll see if you were right.

Post by: The Most on July 24, 2006, 05:27:31 am: I did the updater thing and none of the apps. work! Whoever made this dumb game should go back to school (that is if they ever went) and learn to make things that work!!!!! :thumbdown:

Post by: Beladoor on July 24, 2006, 05:08:06 pm: And you should learn to be respectful for the free work of others... And learn to use a computer by the way.
But why do I lose time with such an immature person ?!

Admins, feel free to delete this post and the previous :innocent:

Post by: corvus_crow on July 24, 2006, 10:58:06 pm: I just started with this a couple of weeks ago, and have everything running. Did my first Windows install this past weekend as well. The game definitely works! And by the way ... it IS worth the effort.

Post by: Cha0s on July 26, 2006, 08:15:05 pm: Did you use the updater? Or the Java updater? See the Guide thread for details if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Title: Re: Cant even open
Post by: dfryer on July 27, 2006, 05:30:15 am: That error means you used the filecloud mirror instead of BitTorrent.
Title: Re: Cant even open
Post by: Gamingstaff on August 01, 2006, 11:07:07 pm: I have the problem where it bounces in the dock for about 10 times then stops and goes away.

I checked Console, and it says the error that you posted up for us to check for.

I installed the updater and all

What now?

here is what the console says

Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
Ported to MacOS/X by Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

Failed to create OpenGL context
[33m[1mWARNING: [0mfailed to initialize plugin 'crystalspace.graphics2d.glosx'
Error loading Graphics2D plugin.
[33m[1mWARNING: [0mfailed to initialize plugin 'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl'

No 3D driver!
[40m[31m[1mpsclient: No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!

I see that i need iGraphics3D plugin. where can i get this?

Edit: Okay I tried downloading it again from another mirror(2 i think) but now it will bounce some then do the unexpected quit.

Post by: Cha0s on August 02, 2006, 07:18:01 am: Did you run the Java updater from within the PS folder? Are you an administrator? If you download from the wrong mirror everything will be broken. You'll need to update or download again; it was said in the last two posts. This issue keeps coming up again and again: always always always, run the updater! If the packaged updater doesn't work, use the Java updater. This is the last time I'm saying this in this thread. :P iLock.

EDIT: iLock. ;)
