Post by: Diztrack on March 27, 2007, 01:18:55 am

er, okay. im new to this game and i have a certain concerns about this game.

1.Are there any form of viruses/spyware/malware attatched to the client?
2.Do i have to pay real money to play the game?
3. Is the game constantly monitored and updated?
4.Are there gamers who spoil the game through the use of programs? aka."bots"
5. Do you get banned for anything that is done against the rules of the game, and is there a rule pertaining to the usage of profanity?

1. The code is open source if you are worried build your own client. We do not have virses ect in the client.
2. No you dont have to pay
3. We get updates about every 2-3 months
4. We do not allow players to use bots and if they get cought they can get banned
5. We do ban people in the worse cases but we need a lot of proof before we do ban them

oh thank you, but now, why is the game black, and the characters without features as the screenshot?  and why doesnt the updater update the software?

All of your questions are answered on the website itself :) It's much easier to look around there than wait for answers here. Our Download (http://www.planeshift.it/download.html) page states that we have been certified to be 100% clean of spyware, adware or viruses by Softpedia, our About (http://www.planeshift.it/about.html) page states that we want to give free access to everyone, without the need to either purchase the game or pay a monthly fee, and we have a page for Policies (http://www.planeshift.it/policies.html) that explain all of our rules. Also don't forget our FAQ (http://www.planeshift.it/faq.html) :]

If the game is loading with black graphics, chances are your video drivers are out of date or your video card itself doesn't meet the minimum requiremens. Can you post your system specs for us?

The updater has no new updates for you to download.

Are you sure that you have the most recent drivers for that card? PS is rather finicky with certain things and may require you to get an update :)

Also updateing DirectX might do miracles, I had that a few times....

PS uses OpenGL.  Updating DirectX will do nothing to help PS run, as PS doesn't use it.  :)
