Title: Game crashes constantly in Death Realm
Post by: lazy-r on July 10, 2006, 11:55:21 pm

Hello everyone!

Since the last Planeshift update, my client keeps crashing.
I didn't have this problem with the initial release of PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe, but with the update that followed shortly after the release.
I am using WindowsXP Professional SP2.

Here's what happened:
When I walked from the sewers to Hydlaa Plaza, climbing up the ladder, I got a weird graphic bug (quite difficult to describe), which I also noticed before, when walking through the mountain passage, near Ojaveda. At the passage I just walked straight and it dissapeared, but in the sewers I suddenly "fell of the end of the world" and I died.
In the Death Realm my client crashed. I managed to exit the death realm (with a couple of client/computer restarts) and everything was fine while walking around Hydlaa Plaza. I went into the sewers, and again everything was fine. When I wanted to leave the Sewers again, exactly at the same spot, the same thing happend: my screen got weird and I died.

Now psclient crashes as soon as the Death Realm is loaded or just a maximum of 1 minute later.
I tried to reïnstall, play it with different user accounts, alter some settings, but with no result whatsoever.

One thing I did notice is the updater output:

==== Update started ====
Merged  art/skins/base/client_base.ip/imagelist.xml
Syncing zip..
Merged  art/world/sewers.zip/sound.xml
Updated vfs.cfg
Syncing.zip 
Following files failed:
data/zoneinfo.xml
Please wait while saving files
====Update complete====


Since that graphic bug was between switching regions/maps perhaps this has to do something with it.
I tried a zoneinfo.xml file from another website, but that didn't work. I also tried to delete it, in the hope that psupdate would d/l and install it again, but the update output remained the same.

I got this error message in Windows:

Oops I'm sorry  :-[
I tried to search on it, but probably used the wrong keywords.

Thanks for the link

When you search the forum about a crash, the only keyword you need is the crash number.  ;)

Though you should've searched better, I must say I'm impressed by your post.
If anyone with a problem would make posts like that, their problems would be solved much quicker ;)

Yeah, so now I know: just search for the crash number :-)
I must say I did read the post about the Teleport thread, but I got a bit confused. Because what I didn't know then, but do know now: I am really reporting 2 bugs here:

#1. That causes you to fall and die when leaving the sewers.
and
#2. Client constantly crashes when in de Death Realm.

The graphic bug is more like a glitch then a bug to me, because most of the time when I just walk on, it dissapears, only not when leaving the sewers ;-)

:D Well I don't have the crashes anymore: after you install PS, don't run the updates (like I did), even if the installer and the client advise you to.
Just download the patch to 015b here (http://66.111.255.12/~psmirror/015patch.zip), and exctract it your PS program folder.

It works like a charm... euhr...  ...crystal!

Thanks devteam!

Run the updater afterwards.  (or, if you ran it first, and it crashes on load, then put the patch in, and run the updater again)
