Title: Crazy Bug!!
Post by: DarkNeel on August 28, 2006, 11:37:01 pm
 :@#\ im slowly starting to lose it, could somebody help me please:

99.9%, ok 99.8% of the time when i try to leave the forest full of gold, there is a gray screen blocking me; pass through, i crash, run through, i crash, walk backwards, i crash, jump, i crash.

Its right at the point where the brown forest floor turns to sand, to entrance to the forest, or exit however u wana look at it.

Have any of u guys had this problem, and is there a solution?

Sounds like your client is crashing trying to load a new sector map.  Could be wrong, but I think it's your installation.

So baring any better educated advice, I would suggest reinstalling.

This should not be too bad if you saved the original installation executable.  Rename the "Planeshift Crystal Blue" directory to "Planeshift Crystal Blue.old" in your Programs directory for now and rerun the installation.  Don't forget to load the patch from the download page http://www.planeshift.it/download.html.

If everything works out don't forget to delete the .old directory.  Good luck.

Confirm, and reported this one already several weeks ago in the bugtracker (but people didn't believe me).

After repeated sector changes, sometimes one of the following sectors doesn't load. Instead, you see the skybox.

If you are lucky, walk boldly into this sector and it loads.

If you aren't, the game may crash. And the next time you log in, you are moved out of the "SectorWhereWeKeep...".

Now I think of it, I had that a couple of times too, that I logged in and it said "moving character out of SectorWhereWeKeepEntitiesResidingInUnloadedMaps. So I'm confirming I guess.
